Zyfai Agents delivered +126.31% higher yield compared to static USDC strategies in April.
This marks a major acceleration from March’s already strong +98.61% outperformance.
As passive DeFi yields compressed further across static pools, Zyfai expanded its lead by continuously reallocating capital faster than static vaults could adapt.
What defined April:
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.
Crossed 13,500 Agents deployed
Below is a summary of the key metrics that defined Zyfai’s performance in April.
Average Zyfai Agent APY: 6.79%
Average Static Pool APY: 3.00%
Net Yield Outperformance: +126.31% vs. static DeFi
Yield was lower across the board than in March. Zyfai APY declined from 7.43% to 6.79%, but static strategies fell faster, from 3.74% to 3.00%. That widened Zyfai’s advantage.
When market APYs fall, the gap between strategies usually gets smaller. In April, Zyfai kept capturing more of that gap. Its relative advantage over static strategies increased from 1.99x in March to 2.26x in April.
In simple terms:
Zyfai did not just outperform again. It performed even better relative to the market while conditions got harder.
But the most important part of capital management is capital preservation. APY means little if the capital itself is at risk.
That was proven again during the recent KelpDAO rsETH incident, one of the largest DeFi stress events this year. Zyfai detected the warning signs early through ZyFUD Agent, which flagged risk signals on the timeline and alerted the rest of the risk monitoring layer and the quant team.
Pool health monitoring Agents then picked up worsening liquidity conditions, while execution Agents proactively moved capital into safer pools or kept it unallocated when no pool met Zyfai’s risk criteria.
As a result, Zyfai users were not affected by the incident.
It was another clear reminder that Agents do more than optimize yield. They preserve capital.
They operate 24/7, react faster than manual capital management, and act before market stress turns into losses.

7.43% → 6.79%
Slight decline due to broader market compression.
3.74% → 3.00%
Passive opportunities compressed faster.
+98.61% → +126.31%
Zyfai widened the gap substantially.
April confirms that:
In maturing DeFi markets, the edge is no longer absolute APY, it is dynamic capital allocation efficiency.
As opportunities compress:
Passive users earn less
Static vaults adapt slowly
Zyfai Agents preserve spread through automation
+126.31% yield outperformance vs. static strategies
6.79% average Zyfai Agent APY
3.00% average static pool APY
~13.5K Agents deployed
~$6.36M TVL
2.26x relative performance advantage
May focus:
Adding new assets and pools
Rolling out cross-chain atomic rebalancing by default for all users
Improving our risk monitoring layer and product UX
Launching new Agent Vaults
The goal remains unchanged: make Agents the main entry point for people to access DeFi.
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.
