Yield Strategies
Zyfai offers two strategy types, each designed for a different risk appetite. When deploying your Agent, you choose the strategy that aligns with how you want your capital managed.
Once your Agent is active, you can further customize protocol and pool selection from the Customization page in your dashboard.
Conservative
The Conservative strategy prioritizes capital preservation and yield stability. Agents operating under this strategy allocate exclusively to the most liquid and battle-tested pools across supported chains.
Pool selection favors established protocols with deep liquidity, consistent APY history, and high scores across all dimensions of the Risk Dashboard (smart contract, economic, and counterparty risk). The Agent avoids pools with volatile yield patterns or shallow TVL, even if they offer temporarily higher returns.
This strategy is designed for users and institutions who value predictability and security over maximum yield. Returns are lower than the Aggressive strategy but significantly more stable over time.
Aggressive
The Aggressive strategy targets higher returns by expanding the Agent's allocation scope to include higher-yielding pools that carry additional risk. These pools may involve newer protocols, higher utilization markets, or assets with greater yield volatility.
The Agent still enforces all rebalancing rules and risk validation checks. No pool is allocated to without passing the same multi-factor validation gate. The difference is in the threshold: the Aggressive strategy accepts pools that score lower on stability metrics in exchange for higher expected APY.
This strategy is designed for users with a higher risk tolerance who are comfortable with greater yield variance in pursuit of stronger returns.
How to Choose
Both strategies benefit from the same infrastructure: the same Security Proxy Gateway enforcement, the same auto-compounding, the same Capital Splitting logic, and the same ZK-proven execution. The difference is purely in your personal risk appetite.
You can review the risk profile of every pool your Agent has access to on the Risk Dashboard. Strategy selection can be changed at any time from the Customization page in your dashboard.
