DAO
The Zyfai project has built infrastructure for retail users to deploy their own DeFi Agent, which generate the best yields for users across multiple chains.
Stakeholders​
The DAO is a decentralized collective of:
- Builders integrating Zyfai SDK and driving the adoption of Zyfai agentic yield stack
- Investors and advisors providing resources and expertise to develop the protocol
- Team and contributors developing the protocol
- Users, ZFI holders and stakers using Zyfai products, supporting the protocol and participating in governance
Goals​
The DAO exists to give the community direct influence over the future of Zyfai protocol. A structured governance lifecycle ensures that proposals are meaningful, aligned with long-term protocol development, and resistant to spam.
The DAO operates with three core objectives:
- Build a better onchain experience. The primary mission is to deliver the best possible product to end users. Every proposal should ultimately serve this goal.
- Drive protocol development. Users and partners are not passive participants. New features, integrations, incentive programs, and SDK improvements can all be proposed and voted on by the community.
- Strengthen ZFI value. The ZFI token and its staked counterpart, stZFI, reflect the value of the Zyfai ecosystem. The DAO works to increase ZFI utility and long-term value through governance-driven initiatives.
The DAO controls 33% of the total ZFI supply, allocated to fund ecosystem growth, incentive programs, and protocol improvements.
How Governance Works​
Proposals begin on Discourse, where authors present their ideas and engage with stakers and the broader community for feedback and discussion. Once a proposal has been refined through community input, the author submits it to Snapshot for a formal vote by stakers.
