March OverviewZyfai Agents delivered +98.61% higher yield compared to static USDC strategies in March. That is nearly double February’s outperformance (+51.13%). While DeFi yields continued compressing across the board, Zyfai’s rebalancing engine widened the gap by moving faster and smarter than any human could. What defined March:Shipped Ethereum mainnet deploymentIntroduced ETH yields on Ethereum, Base, and ArbitrumAnnounced Agent Vaults primitiveParticipated in Synthesis hackathon as a track sponsor, with builders shipping apps on Zyfai infrastructureSaved millions for users during the Resolv incident, all autonomouslySurpassed $2B in Agentic VolumeMeanwhile, 13,323 Agents kept doing their job across four chains. Below is a summary of the key metrics that defined Zyfai’s performance in March.March Performance Summary (USDC-denominated)March 1—March 31, 2026Average Zyfai Agent APY: 7.43%Average Static Pool APY: 3.74%Net Yield Outperformance: +98.61% vs. static DeFiA 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.Despite relatively moderate absolute APYs, Zyfai’s ability to continuously rebalance across opportunities resulted in a 2x performance advantage over passive strategies, maintaining a stable spread and capturing yield inefficiencies across protocols.Agent APY remained consistently above market baselineStatic pool yields showed higher volatility and lower averagesRebalancing allowed capture of short-lived opportunitiesThis reinforces a critical thesis:Yield is no longer about finding the highest APY, but about maintaining optimal allocation over time.But the most important part of capital management is capital preservation. APY means little if the capital itself is at risk. One of the key events in March was the Resolv USR depeg incident. While some curators were still allocating capital to “markets in need,” Zyfai Agents detected the anomaly and rebalanced into safer pools long before USR collapsed. As a result, Zyfai users were not affected by the Resolv incident. This once again confirmed that Agents are not only more efficient at growing capital, but also at preserving it. They do not sleep, do not make mistakes, and do not act on emotion. Instead, they monitor markets 24/7 and execute autonomously.

It’s execution frequency and precision: Agents capture opportunities that humans can’t.February vs. March ComparisonMarch showed a clear improvement across all key yield metrics compared to February.Agent APY increased from 6.19% → 7.43%, showing stronger execution and better capital allocation.Static APY decreased from 4.09% → 3.74%, reflecting broader market yield compression.Yield Outperformance jumped significantly from +51.13% → +98.61%, nearly doubling Zyfai’s edge over passive strategies.Even as baseline yields declined, Zyfai improved performance, leading to a much wider gap vs. static strategies.What This MeansMarch validates a structural shift in DeFi: passive yield strategies are becoming increasingly inefficient in dynamic markets. As markets mature, automation becomes the primary driver of yield outperformance while also proving superior at capital preservation, as the Resolv incident demonstrated.TL;DR: March 2026+98.61% yield outperformance vs. static strategies7.43% average Zyfai Agent APY$8.5M–$9M AUM13,323 Agents deployed$2.3B+ cumulative funds moved233,126 rebalancing transactions executedZyfai is not just outperforming the market, it’s widening the gap.What’s NextApril focus:Agent Vaults launchETH yields expansionMore assetsUX improvementsThe goal remains unchanged: make Agents the main entry point for people to access DeFi.About ZyfaiZyfai gives you self-custodial access to autonomous low-risk DeFi.
