As a reminder, Zyfai charges a 10% performance fee on the yield Agents generate. This fee is only taken from earnings, never from principal.
Collected fees are distributed as follows:
100% of protocol fees flow to the DAO treasury
50% is then distributed to $ZFI stakers in USDC (monthly, pro-rata)
The remaining 50% goes to protocol operations and R&D under the DAO mandate
This creates powerful flywheels:
Previous report is available here:
March Report
Snapshot date: April 1, 2026

$ZFI staked: 44,662,914
Performance fees accrued: $2,115
$ZFI price at snapshot: $0.0065
Staking amount at snapshot in $ value: $290,308
50% streaming to $ZFI stakers = $1,057 or 3.4% APY → Available in your staking dashboard: https://zyf.ai/staking
50% allocated to Ondefy Ltd for protocol operations and development under the DAO mandate = $1,057
A note on fee collection
Currently, Zyfai collects performance fees only when users withdraw. This means more assets under management (AUM) doesn't automatically translate to more revenue for stakers.
We're working on changing this. The new model will collect fees periodically without requiring users to withdraw, making protocol revenue (and staking yield) more predictable.
More details soon.
How to maximize your monthly staking yield?
If you want the highest share of rewards, timing matters.
The earlier in the month you stake, the larger your position at snapshot time.
Snapshot happens at the end of every calendar month.
If you staked in Month A, you receive yield throughout Month B.
If you unstake before the end-of-month snapshot, you are excluded from the next month's reward stream.
What's next?
In March we:
Shipped Ethereum mainnet deployment
Introduced ETH yields on Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum
Announced Agent Vaults primitive
Participated in Synthesis hackathon as a track sponsor, with builders shipping apps on Zyfai infrastructure
Saved millions for users during Resolv incident, all autonomously
In April, we're focused on launching Agent Vaults, expanding asset support, and continuing to improve our Agents and product UX.
Thanks to everyone who shared feedback in March!
