Giza Agents Move $1.5 Billion in Six Months

Giza's autonomous agents have routed $1.5 billion across DeFi protocols since launch. This volume, tracked on-chain, comes from treasuries that no longer sit idle. Instead, they shift positions continuously, chasing yields without human oversight.

Idle Treasuries Unlock $45 Billion Potential

DeFi holds over $45 billion in treasuries, much of it parked due to governance delays and manual rebalancing. Protocols advertise yields, but verifying them remains manual work. Operators face a paradox: constant monitoring erodes returns through gas fees, while delegation risks custody.

Giza addresses this through non-custodial agents. Built over three years on zkML, these agents execute strategies across chains. Recent signals confirm traction. Loot deposited $2 million into Giza's Autonomous Treasury Standard, the first production use case. Pulse, a Pendle-integrated agent, hit its $3 million cap in three hours. ARMA, the flagship yield optimizer, manages $20 million in assets under agents, delivering 15% on USDC.

zkML Execution Without Custody Surrender

Giza agents operate as semantic abstractions over DeFi complexity. Users deploy modular smart accounts via ERC-4337, granting time-bound session keys for specific actions: claim rewards from Aave, rotate collateral on Morpho, or batch swaps across DEXes. Keys encode limits on value, targets, and expiry, revocable on-chain.

Core logic relies on zkML for verifiable computation. Traditional AI models are black boxes; Giza's LuminAIR framework proves outputs match open-source models without rerunning them. Agents like ARMA run non-linear optimizers, modeling full position lifecycles: base yield plus incentives, minus slippage, gas, and lockups. It rebalances only when net uplift exceeds costs, replaying historical data to show outperformance over naive APR chasing.

Swarms adds verification for incentives. Protocols post offers, target market, depth range, expiration. Agents test them live, computing standardized APR (sAPR) with timestamps and conditions. This creates trusted signals: a protocol claims 20% APR; agents confirm 13% sAPR under tested loads.

Pulse exemplifies specialization. Integrated with Pendle, it automates veToken strategies: deposit stables, buy points, compound yields. Economy ties to $GIZA staking for operators on EigenLayer AVS. Fees from executions swap to $GIZA, funding buybacks and liquidity. Stakers secure the network; malicious proofs slash collateral.

Tokenomics supports this: fixed supply, linear emissions over four years, 20% staked within 45 days post-launch. Community staking boosts rewards time-weighted, up to 37% after one month, aligning long-term holders.

Risk controls embed in design. Pre-execution checks score liquidity, utilization, volatility against user policies. Live monitoring triggers exits on TVL drops or parameter shifts. All actions log on-chain for audits.

Re7 Capital's pilot scales this institutionally. Backtests show 67% higher stable yields, 18.5% on ETH versus static holds. Their agents customize per asset, reusing session-key templates.

Verifiable Agents Align With Onchain Primitives

Web3 demands ownership without intermediaries. Giza delivers: users retain keys, agents prove executions cryptographically. This fits high-throughput chains where 24/7 optimization matters. EigenLayer AVS ensures cross-chain settlement; zk proofs minimize trust.

For Abstract readers, it echoes onchain logic: capital as composable, intelligent primitives. No black-box CeFi yields; every move verifiable, non-custodial. As agents compound: $500 million volume, $12 million AUA, they pressure protocols for real incentives, not emissions.

Capital That Optimizes Itself

Giza shifts DeFi from reactive to proactive. Treasuries self-optimize, agents verify signals, markets tighten. With $1.5 billion moved and institutions entering, autonomous finance scales. Users keep control; protocols face performance pressure. The idle era ends.
