Powering the Future: Sui Hydropower AMA + AI Agents & DeFi Yields

Dear Partners,

The spotlight this week is on the Sui Hydropower AMA—a conversation with visionary builders redefining Web3 through sustainable energy and decentralized infrastructure. But that’s not all.

We also cover AI agents making waves in automation (via Sema4.ai and auto.fun), dive into how slippage quietly drains DeFi yields, and remind you that there’s still time to join the NODO Airdrop Campaign before TGE. Big energy. Big ideas. Let’s get into it.

Market Summary

Sema4.ai enables AI agents for widespread enterprise deployment

• Here’s what you need to know about Sema4.ai:
   Sema4.ai is building enterprise-grade AI agents designed for secure, no-code deployment across platforms like AWS and Snowflake. These agents tap into business logic, data sources, and APIs to automate workflows. The goal: build once, deploy anywhere—securely and explainably.

• NODO’s Commentary:
  Sema4.ai’s “left brain, right brain, hands, and feet” analogy nails the future of enterprise AI: intelligent, data-aware agents with real-world agency. As DeFi and SocialFi ecosystems mature, agents like these could manage yield strategies, user interactions, and governance autonomously and intelligently.

Eliza Labs launches auto.fun to help creators build and monetize AI agents without touching code

• Here’s what you need to know about auto.fun by Eliza Labs:
  Eliza Labs’ auto.fun is a no-code platform where anyone can create and monetize autonomous AI agents for social media, DeFi, and Web3—no coding needed. It uses a bonding curve token model and includes tools for yield farming, trading, and content automation across platforms 

• NODO’s Commentary:
  auto.fun unlocks agentic automation for the masses—pushing AI agents from passive to productive. It’s not just about bots; it’s about on-chain labor. As AI agents plug into DeFi and SocialFi, they become digital workers, opening a new paradigm: yield isn’t just staked—it’s earned by AI.

What’s Slippage—and Why It Eats Into Your Yields

You might’ve seen the term “slippage” pop up during a swap and shrugged it off. But here’s the truth:
Slippage is the hidden cost of trading in DeFi. And it quietly eats into your returns.

It happens when the price you expect on a trade isn’t the price you actually get. That difference—multiplied across vault interactions, LP moves, and harvests—can stack up fast.

Why does it happen?
Because liquidity isn’t always deep. Prices move fast. And sometimes, bots jump ahead of your trade in the mempool.

Here’s what that means for your yield:

• You receive less output on swaps

• Your LP positions compound more slowly

• Vault strategies miss optimal harvest windows

But smart strategies fight back.

• They route trades through deep liquidity pools

• They rebalance at low-volatility moments

• They reduce unnecessary interactions to limit cost

And that’s exactly what we’ve built at NODO.

Our AI-powered vaults factor in slippage, volatility, and real-time risk data, so you don’t just earn passively, you earn efficiently.

Because yield isn’t just what you make, it’s what you keep.
