Virtuals Protocol has become the largest AI agent economy onchain:
40,967 agents deployed
$480M+ in aGDP, the total economic value produced by autonomous agents
47.2% of all agentic transactions on Base run through Virtual's Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP)
And the most ambitious expansion yet: Eastworld Labs, Virtuals' embodied AI accelerator, is bringing humanoid robots into the real world with a fleet of 30+ Unitree robots deployed through robotics builders for physical AI use cases.
The agentic economy isn't just digital anymore. It's entering factories, warehouses, and service environments. Capital is flowing in from every direction: agent revenue through ACP, fundraises through Virtuals Protocol, task payments from robot operations.
The infrastructure for earning exists. The infrastructure for spending exists. The infrastructure for making that capital productive between earning and spending? That's what's been missing.
Consider the capital lifecycle in the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem today:
An agent earns revenue. It completes tasks through ACP, gets paid, accumulates a treasury. Between jobs, that treasury sits in a wallet earning nothing. The agent waits for its next task. The capital waits with it.
A robotics builder raises funds. They raised capital through Virtuals Protocol. Development takes months. Testing takes more. During that entire period, the raised funds sit idle. The runway is fixed but it could be growing.
A robot fleet gets paid. Humanoid robots complete real-world tasks. Payments flow in. Between shifts, between deployments, between maintenance cycles, the earned capital does nothing.
In traditional finance, idle capital is a well-known inefficiency. Treasuries earn yield, reserves are invested. Cash management is an entire industry.
In the agentic economy, idle capital shouldn't exist at all. Agents operate 24/7, transactions settle in seconds, and everything is programmable. There is no reason for capital to ever be unproductive, except that the infrastructure to automate it hasn't existed until now.
The Agentic Treasury Management is here to solve this inefficiency. It's treasury infrastructure for the agentic economy: a fully automated Agent Vault that puts agent capital to work in DeFi and returns it the moment it's needed.
The ATM, or Agentic Treasury Management, built by Zyfai, is simple in concept: deposit capital, earn yield from DeFi lending protocols, withdraw whenever you need it.
Any agent, user, or builder in the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem can access it through OpenClaw, any ACP-connected AI agent, or directly. The experience:
Deposit USDC
Zyfai Agent manages your position across top lending protocols on Base, rebalancing to the best risk-adjusted yield automatically
Withdraw anytime
For agents, the ATM is discoverable on ACP. An agent can deposit its treasury, earn yield between jobs, and withdraw the moment it needs capital for its next task.
For robotics builders who raised through Virtuals Protocol, the ATM turns a fixed runway into a growing one. Deposit raised funds, earn yield while you build, test, and deploy. Withdraw when you're ready to put capital to work. Your runway extends itself.
For users, the ATM is the simplest way to access automated DeFi yield within the Virtuals Protocol ecosystem. No more manual capital management, Agents earn yield for you.
Under the hood, the ATM is a fully automated ERC-7540 vault that looks like a simple ERC-4626 vault from the outside.
Everything runs autonomously:
NAV updates every 60 seconds. The Zyfai indexer continuously syncs the vault's net asset value, so your position always reflects the latest onchain reality.
Strategy execution is automated. The Zyfai Smart Account manages positions across lending protocols, rebalancing when better opportunities appear. Every rebalance follows strict rule-based checks: APY delta, pool safety, yield stability, break-even analysis, liquidity health, and more.
Withdrawals process automatically. No waiting for a curator to manually unwind positions. No returning to claim assets 24 hours later. Request a withdrawal, the system handles the rest.
Risk monitoring runs 24/7. The ATM tracks collateral health, liquidity depth, APY and TVL stability, protocol risks, slippage conditions underlaying collateral allocation and sub-allocation, interest rate curves and kink levels. If conditions deteriorate, the system acts proactively. Read more about our risk framework in the docs.
There is no human curator in the loop, no daily manual intervention, no operational overhead. The ATM runs itself.
ATM reallocates capital across 13 DeFi opportunities on Base:
USDC market on Aave
USDC market on Compound
AlphaGrowth Base USDC vault on Euler
Morpho pools by Gauntlet, Steakhouse, and Spark
Spark USDC Savings v2
Wasabi USDC vault
For depositors, the interface is a standard ERC-4626: deposit goes in, shares come out, yield accrues, withdrawal returns assets. The complexity of async operations, NAV synchronization, and strategy management is fully abstracted and automated.
Virtuals Protocol's expansion into robotics through Eastworld Labs changes the scale of capital flowing through the ecosystem.
Onchain agents generate revenue in small, frequent increments. A content agent gets paid per task, a trading agent earns fees per transaction. The treasuries are real but relatively modest.
Robotics is different. Builders on Virtuals Protocol are raising capital to develop products tied to the next major technological wave: robots operating in the real world. Capital cycles are longer, and the amounts involved are larger.
This creates two distinct moments where treasury infrastructure matters:
Before deployment: Raised capital sits in wallets for months during development and testing. With the Agentic Treasury Management, those funds earn yield from day one. A builder who raised $500K and takes 6 months to deploy doesn't just have $500K when they're ready. They have $500K plus whatever yield the Agentic Treasury Management vault generated during that period.
After deployment: Robots earn revenue from real-life operations. Real use cases include robots working in retail stock operations, hotel housekeeping, entertainment industry. They can operate as hospital support staff, security guards, waste collection workers, mechanics, plumbers, HVAC technicians, domestic helpers. Between shifts, between maintenance, between payroll, the revenue accumulates. The Agentic Treasury Management keeps it productive automatically.
As Virtuals Protocol scales from thousands of onchain agents to physical robots operating in the real world, the total capital flowing through the ecosystem grows by orders of magnitude. Treasury infrastructure isn't a nice-to-have at that scale.
It's essential.
Virtuals Protocol measures the health of its economy through Agentic GDP (aGDP): the total economic value produced by autonomous agents. Every task completed, every service rendered, every transaction settled adds to aGDP.
But aGDP has a blind spot: it doesn't capture the value that could be generated by idle capital. Every dollar sitting unproductive in an agent's wallet is aGDP left on the table.
The Agentic Treasury Management directly addresses this. When agent capital earns yield between jobs, that yield is new economic output. When raised funds generate returns before deployment, that's value creation that didn't exist before. When robot fleet not only earns money but keeps that money productive, the ecosystem is producing more with the same base of capital.
This isn't marginal. If even a fraction of the capital flowing through thousands of agents and a growing fleet of humanoid robots is put to work through automated yield, the contribution to aGDP is meaningful and continuous.
The agentic economy shouldn't just produce more than traditional systems. It should be more capital-efficient too. Making every idle dollar productive is how you get there.

To support the initial rollout, we are adding $1,000 in USDC incentives for ATM depositors. These rewards sit on top of the underlying yield and can be claimed via Merkl.
If you're a user: access the vault through OpenClaw or any AI agent connected to ACP. Deposit USDC. Withdraw anytime.
If you're building an agent: the ATM is discoverable on the ACP Registry. Your agent can deposit its treasury, earn yield between tasks, and withdraw when it needs capital. One interaction.
If you're a robotics builder: your raised funds should earn yield while you develop. Deposit into the ATM so your runway keeps growing while you build. Withdraw when you're ready to deploy.
The agentic economy runs 24/7. Now its capital does too.
Zyfai gives you self-custodial access to autonomous low-risk DeFi. Our customizable rule-based Agents transform your idle capital into productive assets, rebalancing between curated opportunities.
The result is sustainable and risk-adjusted yield, where your capital is always working and under your control.
