IoTAI is an AI-powered decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator designed to reduce transaction costs and improve trading efficiency on the Ethereum network. The platform utilizes a proprietary execution model and a conversational AI interface to optimize token swaps across multiple liquidity sources.

Overview

IoTAI was developed to address the challenge of high gas fees within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, particularly on the Ethereum blockchain. During periods of high network congestion, transaction costs can become prohibitive for many users. The project posits that many traditional DEX aggregators contribute to this issue by using routing architectures that require multiple smart contract interactions for a single trade, thereby increasing computational load and gas consumption. To counter this, IoTAI created a system intended to consolidate swap logic into a single, optimized entry point. This approach aims to lower transaction costs by minimizing the on-chain computational steps required to execute a trade. ^[1]

The platform sources liquidity from major aggregators and decentralized exchanges, including 1inch, Uniswap, and ParaSwap, to find efficient trading routes for users. A key component of its design is the integration of an Artificial Intelligence interface, which allows users to execute trades and request market data using natural language commands. This feature is powered by a Large Language Model (LLM) from its partner, PAAL AI. The project also operates on a zero-swap-fee model, distinguishing it from other platforms that may charge fees on transactions. According to its documentation, the platform's architecture is designed to provide gas savings of 30-70% compared to industry standards and maintains a transaction revert rate of less than 2%. ^[1]

Products

The primary product offered by IoTAI is its live DEX aggregator. This platform enables users to swap a wide range of tokens on the Ethereum network. The aggregator's core function is to analyze and route trades across numerous liquidity sources to secure favorable pricing and minimize transaction costs for the end-user. The interface is designed to be accessible to both novice and experienced traders, with the conversational AI feature intended to simplify the trading process. ^[1]

Features

IoTAI incorporates several features aimed at improving the user's trading experience and reducing costs.

• Gas Optimization: The platform's architecture is designed to achieve significant gas savings, with the project reporting potential reductions of 30-70% compared to standard swap transactions on other platforms. This is primarily attributed to its single-entry execution model, which reduces the complexity of on-chain operations.
• Zero Swap Fees: IoTAI states a permanent commitment to a 0% swap fee structure. This means the platform does not take a percentage of the value of the trades executed through its aggregator.
• AI-Powered Interface: Through an exclusive integration with PAAL AI's Large Language Model (LLM), the platform supports conversational trading. Users can input natural language commands, such as "Swap X amount of ETH for Y token," to execute transactions.
• Multi-DEX Aggregation: The system's routing algorithm scans multiple decentralized exchanges and other aggregators to find optimal trade execution paths. This process is designed to provide users with better prices by accessing a wider pool of liquidity.
• MEV Protection: The project has announced plans to launch a comprehensive Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) protection feature. This service is intended to shield users from common exploits like front-running and sandwich attacks, where malicious actors profit from reordering transactions within a block.
• Low Revert Rate: IoTAI reports a transaction revert rate of less than 2%. A low revert rate indicates a higher reliability of trade execution, meaning fewer failed transactions and wasted gas fees for users.
• Real-Time Intelligence: The platform provides users with access to live market data and trading insights, delivered through its AI interface to help inform trading decisions.

These features are designed to create a more cost-effective and user-friendly trading environment. ^[1]

Ecosystem

The IoTAI ecosystem is built around its core DEX aggregator and is composed of its user base, its native utility token ($IOTAI), and a network of strategic partners. The users are primarily DeFi traders seeking to optimize their trading costs and efficiency. The native token is intended to have various utilities within the platform, including participation in revenue allocation. The ecosystem is further supported by partnerships that contribute to key areas such as AI integration, cross-chain functionality, automated trading solutions, and security. These collaborations are aimed at expanding the platform's capabilities and market reach. ^[1]

Use Cases

The platform is designed for several primary use cases within the DeFi space.

• Executing cost-effective token swaps with reduced gas fees.
• Accessing aggregated liquidity from multiple decentralized exchanges through a single interface.
• Utilizing a conversational AI for executing trades and retrieving market data via natural language commands.
• Receiving real-time market insights to inform trading strategies.
• Integrating with automated trading solutions provided by partner platforms.

These applications position IoTAI as a tool for traders looking to optimize their on-chain trading activities. ^[1]

Architecture

IoTAI is built on a proprietary architecture described as a single-entry execution model. This design contrasts with traditional aggregators that may route transactions through multiple, separate smart contracts to tap into different liquidity pools. By consolidating all swap logic into a single entry point, IoTAI's architecture aims to reduce the number of computational steps required for a transaction, which in turn is intended to lower the associated gas costs.

Another key component of its architecture is off-chain pathfinding. The process of finding the most efficient trading route across various liquidity sources is computationally intensive. IoTAI performs these calculations off-chain, meaning the complex decision-making process does not occur on the blockchain itself. Once the optimal path is determined, the simplified transaction data is sent for on-chain execution. This method is designed to prevent costly and complex computations from consuming block space and increasing user fees.

The architecture is described as having three distinct layers:

1. The Execution Layer: This layer handles the on-chain settlement of trades based on the optimized routes calculated off-chain.
2. The AI Interface Layer: This layer integrates the LLM, processes natural language user inputs, and translates them into actionable trading commands.
3. The Security Layer: This layer is responsible for transaction integrity and includes the planned MEV protection mechanisms to safeguard users from on-chain exploits. ^[1]

Tokenomics

The native utility token of the IoTAI ecosystem is $IOTAI. The token is designed to be integral to the platform's functionality and economic model.

Allocation

• Specific details regarding the token's allocation percentages, such as distribution to the team, treasury, or public sale, were not available in the project's public documentation as of September 2025.

Utilities

• Revenue Allocation: The platform's tokenomics include a revenue allocation model, suggesting that a portion of any future platform revenue may be distributed to token holders.
• Burn Mechanism: A burn mechanism is incorporated into the token's design. This process involves permanently removing a portion of the tokens from circulation, which is typically used as a deflationary measure to potentially support the token's value over time.
• The project's documentation also references sections for "Current Token Features" and "Upcoming Token Features," indicating that additional utilities are planned for the $IOTAI token.

Governance

• Information regarding the role of the $IOTAI token in platform governance was not specified in the available documentation.

Further details on the token's economic model and functions are expected to be released as the project develops. ^[1]
