## Content

In December, Zyfai maintained strong performance and continued protocol growth despite broad compression across DeFi yields. Autonomous Agents continued reallocating capital across Base, Arbitrum, Plasma, and Sonic, ensuring users captured the best available risk-adjusted yields without any manual intervention. December also marked a key milestone for Zyfai, as total AUM (Assets Under Management) surpassed $10M. This reflects growing confidence in Agent-based, automated yield execution.Moreover, the past month introduced several key product features that lay the foundation for Zyfai's long-term growth as an institutional-grade agentic DeFi solution:New Security Proxy System with EigenCompute KMS integration, enabling a granular calldata-aware filtering and UX improvementsVerifiable Agents, making every rebalancing transaction verifiable via ZK proofs stored in the ERC-8004 Validation RegistryZyfai SDK, making Verifiable Agents accessible to Ethereum buildersNested Safe implementation, allowing institutions to run agentic infrastructure on top of their existing multisig setupsBelow is a summary of the key metrics that defined Zyfai's performance in December.Zyfai OverviewZyfai improves capital efficiency through personalized Safe Smart Wallets (Safe7579) combined with deterministic, rule-based rebalancing Agents. Each Agent evaluates 20+ rebalancing checks across DeFi blue-chip money markets and newer yield primitives. A trustless, session-key design ensures every Agent action is permissioned, constrained, and fully defined by what the user allows the Agent to do. Across chains and wallets, Zyfai has now:$10M+ AUM$1.25B+ in cumulative Agentic volume11,000+ AgentsThis foundation powers Zyfai's fully autonomous yield engine.+73.42% Yield Outperformance in DecemberBetween December 1 and December 31, Zyfai Agents continuously monitored yields across all integrated pools and protocols. When a higher risk-adjusted stablecoin yield appeared, capital was reallocated autonomously, often executing in under seconds. December Performance:Average Zyfai Agent APY: 9.49%Average Static Pool APY: 5.47%Net Yield Gain: +73.42% vs. static DeFiWhile absolute yields declined across the ecosystem in December, Zyfai's dynamic allocation model continued to outperform passive, single-protocol strategies by a meaningful margin.A comparison chart for Base shows Zyfai's average APY (green dashed line, inclusive of rZFI rewards) consistently above static USDC pool rates across the month.Native Yield Benchmarks by Wallet SizeTo demonstrate real-world yield behavior across wallet sizes, here are the native (non-boosted) APYs and rebalance counts for actual Zyfai wallets tracked through DeBank. $1.5M WalletAPY September: 8.21%APY October: 7.45%APY November: 6.31%APY December: 5.64%Total Rebalances: 103Wallet Link$100K WalletAPY September: 12.21%APY October: 15.18%APY November: 8.31%APY December: 6.16%Total Rebalances: 147Wallet Link$40K WalletAPY September: 16.56%APY October: 9.81%APY November: 12.39%APY December: 9.3%Total Rebalances: 60Wallet LinkInsights:Smaller wallets often achieve higher relative APYs due to faster capital cycling.Larger wallets benefit from lower risk, deeper liquidity pools, and consistent performance.Rebalance frequency scales with volatility and size.This gives users a clear, transparent look at Zyfai's onchain yield behavior across different capital bands.AUM Reaches $10M+ Across ChainsAccording to DefiLlama and Dune data, Zyfai's total AUM peaked above $10M in December, supported by steady inflows and strong capital retention. AUM by chain:Base: ~$7.5MArbitrum: ~$2.2MPlasma: ~$278KSonic: ~$202Khttps://defillama.com/protocol/zyfaiAgents Deployed & Rebalancing ActivityDecember saw continued expansion in Agent deployment and execution activity, powered by Smart Rebalancing v.2.Network-level metrics:Total Agents Deployed: 11,356Total Funds Moved: $1.25BTotal AUM: $10.2MBy chain:BaseAgents Deployed: 4,659Rebalancing Transactions: 63,859https://dune.com/zyfai_agent/zyfaiArbitrumAgents Deployed: 1,598Rebalancing Transactions: 32,056https://dune.com/zyfai_agent/zyfaiPlasmaAgents Deployed: 637Rebalancing Transactions: 5,540https://dune.com/zyfai_agent/zyfaiSonicAgents Deployed: 3,859Rebalancing Transactions: 33,818https://dune.com/zyfai_agent/zyfaiAcross all chains, Zyfai Agents continued executing autonomously, ensuring capital remained allocated to the most efficient yield sources available.Yield StrategyZyfai's yield strategy has now been running continuously for over seven months. Rather than relying solely on traditional money markets, Zyfai expands the opportunity set by incorporating:Newer protocolsInnovative yield primitivesYield tokenizationStructured and leveraged vaultsThis approach enables users to access a broader spectrum of yield sources while maintaining disciplined, risk-aware allocation. Underlying protocols integrated include Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Compound, Moonwell, Spark, Euler, Silo, Harvest, Wasabi.xyz.$ZFI Buyback & Burn + Native Staking Yield ProgramIn December, Zyfai executed buyback using performance fees collected since the previous buyback. To strengthen rewards, $ZFI obtained from early rZFI redemptions was added to the total pool.Snapshot date: December 29, 2025Stakers: 2,099$ZFI staked: 15,132,638Performance fees accrued since last buyback: $2,890231,865 $ZFI purchased TX ID: https://basescan.org/tx/0x3e9bd4e2a84925d00d2b5ca91611bbc8a09d240bc3e19daf80f7a7b8852f05de32,611 $ZFI added from early rZFI redeemingTotal $ZFI to burn and stream to stakers: 264,476 $ZFI.
