Velvet Capital positions itself at the intersection of artificial intelligence and on-chain trading, describing its product as a DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) operating system. This article explains what the platform does, how its components work together, and how the VELVET token fits into the ecosystem.
What Is Velvet Capital?
Velvet Capital is an AI-powered on-chain trading and portfolio management platform. It is designed for traders, developers, and institutional participants who want to discover trading opportunities, execute strategies, and manage digital asset portfolios without relying on centralized intermediaries.
The platform describes itself as a DeFAI stack, a term combining decentralized finance with AI automation. Rather than providing a single tool, Velvet integrates multiple components into one system: a trading terminal, AI agents accessible through Telegram, execution APIs for developers, and a portfolio vault system built on smart contracts.
Velvet Capital was developed with a focus on self-custody. Users interact with the platform directly through their own wallets, meaning they retain control of their assets at all times without depositing funds into a centralized exchange (CEX) or custodian.
How Does Velvet Capital Work?
Velvet Capital is organized around four main product areas, each designed to serve a different type of user or use case.
AI Framework
Velvet includes a multi-agent AI system built for DeFi workflows. Traders can use natural language commands to discover market information, run analysis, generate technical insights, and execute trades or DeFi actions. The system's specialized agents are designed to learn from market data, user behavior, and execution outcomes over time, with the aim of improving analysis quality without requiring manual reconfiguration. This component is accessible both through the main dApp and through a Telegram-based interface.
Trading terminal
The Velvet Trading Terminal is an on-chain interface for trading assets across supported chains. Users can explore trending tokens, new token launches, high-volume markets, and yield opportunities.
The terminal connects directly to decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity and includes an embedded AI copilot that surfaces real-time insights alongside live market data. Currently, Velvet supports trading on BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base, Solana, Sonic, Bitlayer, and Arbitrum.
Portfolio vaults
Velvet enables traders to create on-chain vaults with shared execution logic. Vault managers can launch private or public vaults, with optional access controls. Followers who subscribe to a vault receive the same entry prices and execution quality as the manager, with minimal slippage disadvantages relative to the manager's trades. This structure allows for transparent, verifiable performance records managed entirely on-chain. Public traders, investment groups, and DAOs may use vaults to coordinate portfolio management in a transparent way.
White-label DeFi infrastructure
Velvet offers a white-label product that allows crypto projects, asset managers, and fintech platforms to deploy their own branded DeFi trading or portfolio applications on top of Velvet's infrastructure. Clients use their own domain while leveraging Velvet's execution engine, AI system, and backend. This is intended to reduce the development time and cost of building core DeFi infrastructure from scratch.
What Is VELVET?
VELVET is the native token of the Velvet ecosystem, with a fixed total supply of 1 billion tokens. The token is a BEP-20 asset on BNB Chain and is also tradeable on other supported networks.
The core utility of VELVET is staking. When users lock their VELVET tokens, they receive veVELVET, the vote-escrowed version of the token. The longer the locking period, up to a maximum of 200 weeks, the more veVELVET a user may receive. The veVELVET balance decays linearly over time and reaches zero at the end of the lock period, at which point users can restart the lock to maintain their balance.
veVELVET utilities
Holding veVELVET can entitle users to several benefits within the Velvet ecosystem, subject to the conditions in place at any given time:
Protocol revenue sharing: 50% of protocol fees earned from trading, AI inference, vault management, and partner integrations may be swapped to VELVET and distributed to veVELVET holders as real yield.Emissions: veVELVET holders may receive VELVET emissions based on their Gems balance, which reflects staked amount and activity on the Velvet platform.Fee discounts: Tiered trading fee reductions apply based on a user's proportion of total veVELVET supply.Governance: veVELVET functions as a governance token for major Velvet DAO decisions, including new integrations and fee distribution policies.Referral boost: veVELVET holders may receive an increased share of fees generated through their referrals.
The protocol also plans to introduce vault emission voting, where veVELVET holders would vote to direct VELVET emissions toward specific vaults. Vault managers would be able to set up incentives to attract votes, with voters potentially earning additional rewards based on vault performance.
Velvet Unicorn Token (VU)
VU (Velvet Unicorn Token) is a separate payment token used as the fee mechanism for the AI Co-Pilot and agentic strategy features. When a user calls an AI inference action, VU is consumed: one-third is burned, one-third goes to the Velvet treasury for research and development, and one-third is distributed to veVELVET holders as VELVET rewards.
VELVET On Binance Alpha
VELVET launched via an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) on Binance Wallet on July 10, 2025, in collaboration with PancakeSwap. Following the IDO, VELVET is available for trading on Binance Wallet DEX, Binance Alpha, and PancakeSwap.
FAQ
What is DeFAI?
DeFAI is a term combining decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence (AI). Platforms that describe themselves as DeFAI integrate AI tools such as market analysis agents, natural language trade execution, and automated strategy management directly into on-chain financial infrastructure, rather than offering AI as a separate layer on top of traditional finance.
What is veVELVET?
veVELVET is the vote-escrowed version of the VELVET token. Users lock their VELVET for a period between one week and 200 weeks to receive veVELVET. A longer lock produces more veVELVET, up to a 1:1 ratio at the 200-week maximum. The veVELVET balance decays to zero over the lock period. veVELVET may entitle holders to protocol revenue sharing, VELVET emissions, trading fee discounts, and governance rights within Velvet DAO.
Is Velvet Capital self-custodial?
Yes. Velvet Capital is non-custodial by design. Users connect their own wallets to interact with the platform and retain control of their assets at all times. The platform does not hold user funds; all trading and vault operations are executed through smart contracts that users authorize directly.
