Polana Launches AI-Driven DeFi Platform and Starts POLAI Token ICO/Presale

By: Zexprwire

Phoenix, USA, 2nd May 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Polana Labs (POLAI), an AI-powered DeFi platform, has officially launched, boasting automated, AI-driven investment tools that help users optimize their crypto portfolios. Simultaneously with its launch, Polana kicked off the ICO/presale for its native token, POLAI, marking a potentially pivotal moment in DeFi history.

Polana Labs is at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform integrates several AI-driven tools that provide traders better market analyses, predictions, and investment strategies. The platform’s cutting-edge AI also enhances risk management. These features help users make better-informed decisions and maximize their portfolios’ potential despite the market’s renowned volatility.

Polana stands apart from other DeFi platforms through its user-friendly approach, drastically reducing entry barriers for new users. Beginners and seasoned investors can rely on the platform for easy and smooth navigation, an intuitive dashboard, and seamless interaction with Polana’s AI tools.

Polana prioritizes security to deliver all users a safe and transparent crypto experience. To this end, all the transactions and smart contracts executed via the platform are fully auditable on the blockchain. In fact, Polana has had its smart contract audited by Solidproof, one of the industry’s top auditors. Also, the POLAI token has been audited by Coinsult.

POLAI is a DeFi token and the backbone of Polana Labs’ rapidly evolving ecosystem. The token leverages AI to improve and automate DeFi solutions for all traders, regardless of skills or experience. Holding POLAI tokens involves several perks and benefits, such as:

Governance powers

POLAI token holders have a say in the decision-making process that guides the platform’s development.

Rewards

POLAI token holders can access rewards by participating in liquidity pools, staking, and using the platform’s AI-powered tools.

Transaction fees

POLAI holders can save on transaction costs within the Polana ecosystem as the token will be used to pay transaction fees.

The team has set a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 POLAI tokens distributed as follows:

  • Presale – 30%
  • Staking rewards – 20%
  • Liquidity pool – 15%
  • Marketing & partnerships – 15%
  • Development Fund and Community Rewards – 10%
  • Team & Advisors – 10%

The ICO/presale for the POLAI token will start on May 5. The presale countdown is live until then, but interested investors can still purchase the token before the countdown ends. This presale event is part of the first development phase in the Polana Labs roadmap. The project has three more phases planned to be completed in 2025 and another one for 2026 and beyond. Some of Polana Labs’ most ambitious goals include:

  • Integrating AI-powered tools to help users make smarter investment decisions.
  • Introducing staking rewards for POLAI token holders.
  • Expanding AI models for more advanced trading strategies and automation.
  • Releasing the Polana Labs mobile application.
  • Growing the Polana community by expanding marketing efforts globally and forming new strategic partnerships.
  • Exploring new AI-driven DeFi features like liquidity mining, yield farming, and more.
  • Expanding the platform’s reach by adding new blockchain networks for greater scalability.
