As a reminder, Zyfai applies a 10% performance fee on the yield generated by Agents. This fee applies only to profits, never to deposited capital.
Collected fees are first routed to the DAO treasury and then allocated as follows: → 50% to $ZFI stakers in USDC, distributed monthly on a pro-rata basis → 50% to protocol operations and R&D under the DAO mandate
This creates powerful flywheels:

Currently, Zyfai collects performance fees only when users withdraw. This means more assets under management (AUM) doesn't automatically translate into more revenue for stakers.
We're now rebuilding the fee collection model. The new model will collect fees periodically without requiring users to withdraw, making protocol revenue and staking yield more predictable.
We'll share more once it's ready.
If you want the highest share of rewards, timing matters.
The earlier in the month you stake, the larger your position at snapshot time.
Snapshot happens at the end of every calendar month.
If you staked in Month A, you receive yield throughout Month B.
If you unstake before the end-of-month snapshot, you are excluded from the next month's reward stream.
In April we:
Successfully avoided the KelpDAO hack
Had a blast presenting Zyfai at EthCC, Paris Blockchain Week, Ethereum Zurich, and Ledger HQ
Launched the USDC Agent Vault on Base
Completed an AI audit with Cecuro and shared what we learned
Introduced Agentic Treasury Management on Virtuals Protocol
Kicked off Phase 4 of the rZFI Incentive Program
Added ZyFUD Agent to our risk monitoring layer
Partnered with Owney to enable wallets, neobanks, and financial platforms to embed DeFi agents, giving users access to top-performing yield without the usual complexity.
In May, we're focused on expanding asset support, rolling out cross-chain atomic rebalancing by default for all users, improving our risk monitoring layer and product UX, and launching new Agent Vaults.
The recently added ZyFUD Agent identified the incident early, including @Marczeller's tweet about WETH
Thanks to everyone who shared feedback in April!
