We've been building Zyfai's institutional infrastructure so asset managers can automate yield execution within their own investment rules and custody controls. We're pleased to share one of those use cases.
Odyssey Digital, a DeFi-native asset manager running quantitative and discretionary strategies, is using Zyfai to manage USDC and EURC yield positions within its discretionary investment strategies.
Odyssey Digital's approach
Odyssey Digital runs both quantitative and discretionary strategies across an investment universe that includes stablecoins, BTC, ETH and tokenized assets. Its team brings experience from Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) and J.P. Morgan and applies it to onchain markets. Its strategies range from LST arbitrage, MEV and structured products to optimizing yield across lending markets.
The team sets exposure limits for individual vaults and strategies, diversifies across protocols including Aave, Morpho and Pendle, and uses conservative leverage parameters. Its investment committee approves each market and oversees portfolio decisions and risk.
For its USDC and EURC yield allocations, Odyssey Digital selected Zyfai to execute within the team's strategy and approved pool selection once markets are approved by its committee. Our infrastructure meets the team's requirements for exposure limits, diversification and conservative strategy parameters.
Monitoring yield positions
Odyssey Digital defines the strategy and approves the pools and tools it wants to use. Our Agents handle execution, risk monitoring and rebalancing.
To support Odyssey Digital's risk oversight, our Security Agents and quants track onchain and offchain signals including pool liquidity, collateral health and changes in collateral composition, APY and TVL fluctuations, unusual contract activity, governance updates and sentiment on socials, among other metrics. When a pool breaches risk rules, the execution Agent is designed to move capital to a safer approved opportunity or leave it unallocated if no suitable alternative is available.
Permissions for routine execution
Zyfai uses Safe7579 Smart Accounts and scoped session keys for automated execution. The Security Proxy Gateway limits the contracts, functions and parameters an Agent may use. Transactions targeting unapproved contracts or functions, or using parameters outside the allowed bounds, are rejected before execution.
Our institutional infrastructure supports existing Safe multisigs and compatible MPC wallets. Odyssey Digital uses its own Safe multisigs to deploy and control nested Safe7579 Smart Accounts for its Zyfai positions. Odyssey Digital's multisigs retain ownership and governance, while scoped session keys limit the Agents to approved strategy execution.
Odyssey Digital retains investment discretion. For its USDC and EURC positions, our Agents monitor markets and execute transactions within the strategy and account permissions.
"We want our team focused on portfolio decisions, with clear limits on how capital can be deployed. Zyfai lets us apply that approach to USDC and EURC: we select the pools, retain control through our Safe multisigs, and delegate ongoing monitoring and execution to the Agents."
