Velvet Capital has launched the beta version of its Velvet Unicorn AI Copilot, an assistant built to help DeFi users discover new tokens, evaluate onchain opportunities, and make more informed trading decisions across ecosystems.

The Unicorn is the first step in Velvet Capital’s broader vision of building a DeFAI Operating System - a platform where users, funds, and agents can analyze markets, allocate capital, and eventually execute onchain strategies with minimal manual effort.

The Velvet Unicorn Copilot is now available inside Velvet Capital’s Trading Terminal and supports a range of discovery and analysis functions.

What the Velvet Unicorn AI Copilot can do

In its current beta release, the Velvet Unicorn Copilot offers:

  • Alpha Discovery: Identify trending tokens and active narratives

  • Token Analysis: Evaluate tokenomics, onchain activity, holder behavior, and liquidity trends

  • Price Forecasting: Get access to in-house statistical models that surface directional signals

The tool is designed to reduce friction for users navigating fast-moving markets—helping them filter noise, identify promising assets early, and build conviction with data-backed insights.

To unlock access to the Copilot, users must hold 420,000 $VU tokens in their connected wallet.

Looking ahead: from assistant to agent

While the current version is assistive, the Velvet Unicorn is built to evolve. Future releases will introduce more agentic capabilities, allowing the Copilot to:

  • Execute intent-based trades on behalf of the user

  • Manage structured DeFi strategies and portfolios

  • Act autonomously on behalf of DAOs, funds, or individual users

This progression reflects Velvet Capital’s broader mission: to build an intelligent, modular DeFAI OS where strategy logic, execution, and AI agents can co-exist onchain.

Try the AI Copilot during the Binance Wallet Pre-TGE campaign

As part of the rollout, Velvet Capital has launched a limited-time campaign in partnership with Binance Wallet, running through May 7, 2025.

Participants can connect their Binance Wallet, complete a series of social and onchain tasks, and earn from a pool of 8 million $VELVET tokens prior to the TGE.

The onchain tasks involve using Velvet’s Trading Terminal and Portfolios, offering a low-barrier way to explore the product while accumulating early rewards.

Why it’s worth trying

Velvet Capital isn’t aiming to be another DEX aggregator or vault product. The team is building toward a longer-term thesis:

  • AI will be core to how capital is deployed onchain

  • Onchain execution layers are moving toward agents and abstraction

  • DeFi’s UX needs to improve—without reducing optionality or control

The Velvet Unicorn AI Copilot is a first expression of that thesis. The Binance Wallet campaign provides a lightweight way to try it out—and earn something for doing so.
