Problem

DeFi adoption is hindered by complex interfaces and steep learning curves. Current crypto wallets require users to:

  • Navigate unfamiliar dApp interfaces with poor UX patterns
  • Manually execute transactions at specific times without built-in scheduling
  • Coordinate group transactions through fragmented communication channels
  • Switch between multiple applications for calendar management and crypto operations
  • Learn entirely new interaction paradigms that don't leverage existing digital habits

The result? Millions of users who are comfortable with calendar applications remain excluded from DeFi opportunities due to technical barriers and poor user experience.

Solution

CalendeFi transforms any Google Calendar into a powerful, intent-based DeFi orchestration layer.

Instead of learning new interfaces, users leverage the familiar calendar paradigm they already use daily. By simply creating calendar events with specific titles, users can:

  • Execute scheduled payment intents across multiple protocols
  • Connect to any dApp through WalletConnect v2 integration
  • Settle USD payments via PayPal USD (PYUSD)
  • Create swaps and limit orders on Uniswap DEX
  • Enable multisig approval through calendar RSVP voting
  • Issue ENS subnames for calendar-based identity management

The innovation: We've created the first intent-based calendar-native DeFi orchestration platform, making cryptocurrency operations as simple as scheduling a meeting.

How It Works

Calendar Event Creation & Intent Parsing

User creates calendar event โ†’ Google Calendar API โ†’ Payment Intent Engine
  • Natural Language Processing: "Send 5 ETH to fabianferno.eth tomorrow at 2pm"
  • Intent Classification: Determines transaction type (transfer, swap, dApp connection)
  • Parameter Extraction: Amount, recipient, timing, approval requirements

Alt text

Multi-Protocol Intent Routing

Payment Intents โ†’ Protocol Router โ†’ [PayPal USD | Uniswap | WalletConnect | EVM Direct]

PayPal USD Integration

  • Fiat-Crypto Bridge: Seamless USD settlement through PYUSD
  • Real-world Payments: "Pay $100 to [email protected]"
  • Cross-border Transfers: Instant international settlements

Uniswap DEX Integration

  • Automated Swaps: "Swap 10 USDC to ETH at 3pm"
  • Limit Orders: "Buy ETH when price drops to $2000"
  • Liquidity Management: Scheduled LP position management

WalletConnect v2 Integration

  • Universal dApp Access: Connect to any Web3 application
  • Session Management: Persistent connections through calendar events
  • Approval Workflows: RSVP-based connection authorization

Scheduled Intent Execution

Scheduled Intents โ†’ Execution Engine โ†’ EVM Networks (Multi-chain)
  • Precise Timing: Execute at exact calendar event times
  • Gas Optimization: Dynamic gas price estimation
  • Cross-chain Support: Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base

Multisig Approval via RSVP

Calendar Invites โ†’ RSVP Tracking โ†’ Approval Threshold โ†’ Execute/Reject
  • Democratic Governance: Calendar attendees become transaction approvers
  • Flexible Thresholds: Configurable approval percentages (50%, 66%, 100%)
  • Real-time Voting: Live RSVP tracking with automatic execution

ENS Identity Integration

Calendar Identity โ†’ ENS Subname Issuance โ†’ Decentralized Identity
  • Calendar-Native Identity: Auto-generate ENS subnames for calendars
  • Human-readable Addresses: alice.calendefi.eth instead of 0x742d35...
  • Identity Persistence: Consistent identity across sessions
