Engineering DeFAI: How goodmorning built the AdEx AURA framework
TL;DR
AdEx AURA is a next-gen AI agent framework that takes the chaos out of DeFi. No more endless research or second-guessing your next move. AURA proactively analyzes your on-chain activity and delivers DeFi strategy recommendations tailored to your risk appetite.
goodmorning teamed up with AdEx to turn a wild idea into a working MVP, integrating bleeding-edge AI, clever engineering hacks, and a scalable backend. The result? A public demo that wowed the Web3 community, rewarded early adopters, and set the stage for the future of automated DeFi.

About the product
AdEx AURA is your personal AI agent for DeFi - the tool that does the heavy lifting so you don’t have to. It autonomously tracks your blockchain activity, crunches on-chain and market data, and delivers clear, actionable strategies to help you maximize yield and catch opportunities like airdrops and NFT mints. No prompts, no guesswork, just smarter DeFi decisions.
What makes AURA stand out? It combines multiple LLMs, real-time data, and user risk profiles to deliver hyper-relevant recommendations. In a space flooded with noise, AURA brings signal.
The challenge
DeFi is complex, fragmented, and constantly evolving. Even experienced users face decision fatigue and information overload. AdEx had a bold vision for AURA but didn’t have the engineering bandwidth to bring it to life within their timeline. So they brought us in to accelerate backend and AI development, ensuring the MVP would be both technically sound and ready for real-world testing. AURA wasn’t blocked in development - it was deep in R &D. But the challenge was real:
structure experimental work into a deliverable MVP
validate the product concept
move toward adoption

Our approach
We jumped in from day one, when AURA was still just a cool idea on a whiteboard. Working closely with AdEx, we kicked off with marathon-like strategy workshops, technical deep dives, and collaborative roadmap sessions. Together, we defined the MVP’s feature set and established a shared vision for success.
We didn’t just build - we experimented: evaluating AI models, tinkering with prompt engineering, and stress-testing data aggregation sources. Alignment was locked in through regular syncs and a shared roadmap.

The solution
We architected and delivered a personalized AI agent framework that generates secure, high-impact DeFi strategy recommendations. This project was a bit of a role reversal for us - no frontend, no U X, just pure backend and AI focus.
AdEx led the design and user experience, while we built the technical core using Docker, Node, and TypeScript - a battle-tested tech stack for a future-proof product.
Key technical insights
The final result
The AdEx AURA demo went live on May 21 , 2025, as a public preview of what’s possible when AI meets DeFi. Users could enter any Ethereum or EVM-compatible wallet address (no wallet connection required) and instantly get portfolio analysis and personalized strategy suggestions thanks to the multiple integrated LLMs.
What's coming next
for Aura?
Early community adoption validated product-market fit and generated valuable feedback for future iterations. Full automation and next-level AI features are on the roadmap for V2.0 and beyond. The MVP validated AURA’s potential and positioned AdEx as a leader in user-friendly DeFAI solutions.
