AssetSwap.ai Aims to Reset Meme Coin Trading with AI

In the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, where daily rug pulls have become commonplace and decentralized exchange (DEX) platforms generate fees even when users lose everything, a new model is emerging. AssetSwap.ai, co-founded by Yoann Defay and Jérémy Dahan, is proposing a radically different approach to meme coin trading. The platform aims to use AI to reset the meme coin trading landscape, particularly in the chaotic corners of the crypto market.

Defay and Dahan discussed the need for an AI-powered reset in meme coin trading, the meaning of VibeFi, and how their tool is helping beginners navigate the volatile meme coin markets. When asked about the "real" volume generated by DEXes like Pump.fun and Axiom, Dahan noted that if "real" is defined as value created for the user, it is likely under 10%. Most of the volume is raw speculation, with users chasing hype without tools, getting rugged, and repeating the cycle. Defay added that from a technical standpoint, huge clusters of liquidity cycling between wallets and tokens created in seconds are not real trading but noise designed to generate fee revenue.

Dahan explained that DEXes benefit from the chaos, as the more chaos, the more volume. They do not want filters; they want frictionless pumps and exits. Retail users provide the exit liquidity. Defay compared it to giving anyone a printing press and not caring what they print, as long as someone clicks "buy." DEXes have optimized for throughput, not trust.

When asked if DEXes are financially incentivized not to protect users, Dahan bluntly stated that protecting users would mean slowing down volume, which is their key performance indicator (KPI). Defay added that DEXes do not integrate risk signals or AI scoring at the protocol level because it is not profitable for them to slow users down before they invest.

Dahan coined the term "RugFi" to describe a system where rugs are normalized, and platforms profit from it. It is DeFi with no defenses. The problem is not just bad actors but that the system is designed to welcome them. Defay added that RugFi is also an infrastructure term, describing a situation where tools aren't connected, signals aren't scored, and the user has to fend for themselves with no intel. AssetSwap.ai aims to change that.

Dahan and Defay agreed that the problem is both cultural and structural. The culture glorifies aping in and "degen" behavior, but that only works for whales or insiders. Structurally, DEXes do not screen anything, and the average user is flying blind. Defay emphasized that when structure is missing, culture becomes dangerous. If you want to change the culture, you need to build better infrastructure, which is what they are doing with AI.

Defay explained that AssetSwap.ai's AI-Pick, their flagship signal engine, analyzes over 10,000 data points in real time, including wallet behavior, LP unlocks, bot activity, dev token holdings, liquidity patterns, and social signals. Every token gets a live score, allowing users to see what's trending and what's dangerous. Dahan added that for the user, it's simple. They just type: "What's safe to enter on Solana today?" The AI filters, scores, and suggests trades, clean, accurate, and emotion-free. That's Vibe Trading.

Dahan clarified that AssetSwap.ai is not trying to replace DEXes but to build an intelligent layer on top of them, prioritizing the user, not the volume. Defay compared AssetSwap to the brain, with the DEX being the muscle—fast but blind. Together, they work, but only if the brain is in control.

Dahan emphasized that a total beginner can trade meme coins safely with their platform. VibeFi allows users to describe what they want, such as "Safe coins under $10M market cap," or "Tokens trending in Telegram but not yet pumped." The AI turns that into action, scoring tokens, giving signals, and helping users trade intelligently. Defay added that behind the scenes, it's complex, but for the user, it feels like talking to ChatGPT—except it can execute trades. That's how they onboard the next wave of crypto users.

Defay noted that most AI tools just give predictions or sentiment summaries, but AssetSwap.ai does live analysis, live scoring, and live execution. The AI doesn't just talk—it acts. Dahan added that their mission is not to help users win big once but to help them avoid losing over and over. Their final message to DEX founders is that they can keep profiting from rugs or start building tools to protect their users. If they don't, AssetSwap.ai will.

AssetSwap.ai is the first GPT-style trading assistant for meme coins, crypto tokens, and tokenized assets. It provides real-time AI analysis, token safety scoring, and prompt-based execution across major chains. Designed for both beginners and experienced traders, AssetSwap is redefining what it means to trade in DeFi—safely, intelligently, and without fear.
