Zyfai February Yield Report: +51.13% Yield Outperformance

A summary of the key metrics that defined Zyfai’s performance in February.

February Overview

In February, Zyfai outperformed static USDC strategies by 51.13% across chains, despite increased volatility and liquidity rotation across DeFi markets.

While AUM saw short-term fluctuations after peaking above $11M mid-month, agentic volume surpassed $2B, showing strong capital efficiency as Agents continuously rotated capital into the best opportunities.

February was defined by:

Automation remained the performance driver. Zyfai Agents continued executing autonomously across Base, Arbitrum, Sonic, and Plasma, dynamically reallocating capital to preserve yield efficiency and risk discipline.

Below is a summary of the key metrics that defined Zyfai’s performance in February.


February Performance Summary (USDC-denominated)

February 1—February 28, 2026

  • Average Zyfai Agent APY: 6.19%

  • Average Static Pool APY: 4.09%

  • Net Yield Outperformance: +51.13% vs. static DeFi

Even as baseline stablecoin yields compressed and capital rotated between pools, Zyfai’s deterministic allocation engine preserved meaningful spread over passive strategies.

This reinforces Zyfai’s thesis: Yield compression does not eliminate edge, agentic execution preserves it.

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.

Yield Performance by Wallet Size: February

To illustrate yield performance in practice, the table below shows actual weighted APYs by wallet size cohort, measured net of fees and inclusive of rZFI incentives where applicable.

$1K—$10K Wallets

  • Average APY (with rZFI): 8.35%

  • Average APY (native, no rZFI): 6.88%+

  • Example Wallet Link

$10K—$100K Wallets

  • Average APY (with rZFI): 6.36%

  • Average APY (native, no rZFI): 4.88%

  • Example Wallet Link

$100K+ Wallets

  • Average APY (with rZFI): 6.15%

  • Average APY (native, no rZFI): 4.67%

  • Example Wallet Link

Key observations:

  • Smaller wallets benefit from faster capital cycling and higher relative APYs

  • Larger wallets prioritize depth, liquidity safety, and consistency

  • Despite AUM fluctuations and yield compression, relative outperformance was preserved across all cohorts.

Sustained Multi-Chain Execution

Total rebalancing transactions across chains now exceed 170,000+ cumulative rebalances.

Zyfai Agents operate continuously, reallocating capital based on numerous factors:

  • Money market APY changes

  • Underlying collateral changes

  • Protocol health

  • Liquidity depth & TVL stability

  • Risk thresholds

  • Zyfai’s exposure to certain pools

Execution remains strictly rule-based and verifiable onchain via ZK proofs stored in the ERC-8004 Validation Registry.


February Protocol Report: USDC Yield for $ZFI Stakers

A few days ago, the DAO completed monthly distribution of the collected performance fees: 50% to protocol operations and R&D under the DAO mandate and 50% to $ZFI stakers, paid in USDC.

  • $ZFI staked: 27,329,232

  • Performance fees accrued: $4,968

  • $ZFI price at the snapshot: $0.006105

Result: 19.55% APY to $ZFI stakers, paid in USDC.

This gives stakers direct flexibility: buy more $ZFI, deposit USDC back into Zyfai, or do whatever they want with it. Meanwhile, the protocol retains resources to scale faster.

TL;DR: February 2026

  • +51.13% yield outperformance vs. static strategies

  • 6.19% average Zyfai Agent APY

  • ~$7–11M TVL range throughout the month

  • 12,891 Agents deployed

  • $2B+ cumulative Agentic volume

February demonstrated that Zyfai’s edge is not dependent on high headline yield, but on continuous, rule-based execution.


Looking Ahead

As Zyfai moves deeper into 2026, the focus remains on:

  • Improving execution efficiency and product accessibility

  • Expanding agent capabilities and product offerings

  • Deepening institutional-grade infrastructure and delivering new SDK integrations

  • Refining risk-aware automation across chains

Whether optimizing for performance or stability, Zyfai Agents continue to operate autonomously, verifiably, and continuously on behalf of users.
