As a reminder, Zyfai takes a 10% performance fee on the yield Agents generate. It is charged on profit only, never on the capital you deposit.
Every fee collected runs through the DAO treasury first, then splits in two:
50% to $ZFI stakers, paid in USDC and distributed monthly on a pro-rata basis
50% to protocol operations and R&D under the DAO mandate
The same Agent activity that earns users their yield is what funds the staking stream, so stakers hold a direct claim on protocol performance rather than token emissions.
This creates powerful flywheels:
Previous report is available here:
Snapshot date: June 1, 2026
Stakers: 2,333
$ZFI staked: 62,366,253 (12.5% of total supply)
Performance fees accrued: $2,118
$ZFI price at snapshot: $0.0057
Staking amount at snapshot in $ value: $355,487
50% streaming to $ZFI stakers = $1,059 or 2.44% APY → Available in your staking dashboard: https://zyf.ai/staking
50% allocated to Ondefy Ltd for protocol operations and development under the DAO mandate = $1,059
For now, Zyfai only collects performance fees when a user withdraws. That creates a gap: AUM can grow all month without revenue reaching stakers until withdrawals actually happen, which makes the monthly distribution lumpier than it should be.
We are working on an updated fee collection model that takes fees periodically instead of waiting on withdrawals. The result is more predictable revenue and staking yield. Full details land with the June rollout.
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 May we:
Introduced BTC yields with cbBTC and WBTC live across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum
Released Zyfai OmniAccounts, giving Agents the ability to move capital across chains in search of better yield
Added new pools across supported chains
Shipped an in-app support system directly on the website
In June, the focus is on shipping the updated performance fee collection model, pushing for higher yields across assets, and Base season 👀
Thanks to everyone who shared feedback in May!
