Building DeFi applications today means juggling a dozen different APIs, SDKs, and integration patterns. Want to swap on Jupiter? One SDK. Lend on Aave? Different API. Stake with Lido? Yet another integration. Your trading bot ends up looking like a Frankenstein monster of protocol-specific code that breaks every time someone updates their interface. This fragmentation isn't just annoying—it's expensive. Every new protocol integration costs weeks of development time. Testing across multiple chains doubles the complexity. And when you're building AI agents that need to make split-second decisions across DeFi protocols, wrestling with 14 different APIs isn't just inefficient, it's prohibitive. The Multi-Protocol Problem Most DeFi developers face the same pattern: start with one protocol, then gradually add more as requirements grow. You begin with a simple Uniswap integration, then add Compound for lending, then Lido for staking. Each integration brings its own quirks: Different authentic
