Intent Over Execution: How Haiku is Rebuilding DeFi Trading for Institutions
from GigaBrain · host Swell Network
What if executing a complex DeFi strategy — bridging, swapping, lending, rebalancing — took just one click? That's exactly what Haiku is building. In this episode of GigaBrain, host João Simões sits down with Sash (aka Snowy), Lead BD at Haiku, to explore how Haiku's intent-based execution layer is turning multi-step DeFi workflows into a single, unified transaction across 20+ blockchains and 45+ protocols. We cover: - Why Haiku pivoted from retail to institutional trading clients - How intent-based DeFi execution works (and why no one else does it without hardcoding) - The $1M seed round led by Big Brain Holdings - AI agents in DeFi — real utility or hype? - Sash's take on founders tweeting, bear markets, and the future of on-chain abstraction Whether you're a DeFi builder, trader, or VC, this episode is a sharp look at where on-chain infrastructure is actually heading. Sash (aka Snowy) is the Lead Business Development manager at Haiku, a decentralised trading platform that collapses complex multi-step DeFi strategies into a single all-or-nothing transaction. With a background spanning commercial real estate and early-stage crypto startups, Sash specialises in institutional BD across DeFi infrastructure and cross-chain execution.
