Market Opportunity
Software engineering remains a lucrative field, with the global market size for software and IT services projected to reach $156B in 2025. Despite concerns about AI replacing jobs, the demand for skilled software engineers continues to grow, especially in specialized areas like blockchain and DeFi.
LLMs for Blockchain
The introduction of AI agents like Devin 2024 sparked discussions about AI's role in software engineering. While these tools have shown promise in automating certain tasks, they still struggle with complex, context-dependent projects, especially in specialized fields like blockchain development.
Benchmark Exclusion: Solidity is not included in any of the prominent LLM benchmarks such as MultiPL-E, BabelCode/TP3, MBXP/Multilingual HumanEval, or HumanEval-X
Dataset Omission: Major LLM training datasets like The Stack, CodeParrot, AlphaCode, CodeGen, and PolyCoder do not include Solidity code
DeFi and Blockchain
The DeFi market cap reached $100B billion in early 2025, with stablecoins accounting for a significant portion of this value. However, the complexity of blockchain development and the shortage of skilled Solidity and Solana developers have created a bottleneck in the industry. Kolwaii is uniquely positioned to address these challenges:
Specialized Expertise: Unlike general-purpose AI models, Kolwaii's model specializes in DeFi and blockchain development, filling a critical gap in the market.
Autonomous Development: Kolwaii can autonomously contribute to open-source DeFi projects, accelerating development in an area where emerging tech is still relatively young.
By combining a fine-tuned model with an intelligent data-lake ingestion pipeline, Kolwaii is well-positioned to capture a significant portion of this growing market, addressing key pain points in the industry and driving innovation in the intersection of AI, blockchain, and decentralized finance.
