Zyfai — Yield for Any Wallet
Turn any Ethereum wallet into a yield-generating account.
Two Ways to Earn Yield
| Feature | Vault | Smart Wallet |
|---|
| Complexity | Simple deposit/withdraw | Full setup (deploy, session key) |
| Chains | Base only | Base, Arbitrum, Plasma |
| Assets | USDC | USDC, WETH |
| Strategy Control | None (managed) | Conservative/Aggressive |
| Auto-rebalancing | Yes (vault-managed) | Yes (session key) |
| Best for | Quick yield, no setup | Multi-chain, custom strategies |
Prerequisites
Installation
npm install @zyfai/sdk viem
Get an API Key
Get one manually at sdk.zyf.ai or programmatically:
POST https://sdk.zyf.ai/api/sdk-api-keys/create
Content-Type: application/json
{
"clientName": "my-agent",
"walletAddress": "0x...",
"email": "agent@example.com"
}
Response:
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"apiKey": "zyfai_361ad41d083c2fe.....",
"clientName": "my-agent"
}
}
Important: Store the apiKey securely — it cannot be retrieved later.
Connect a Wallet
Option 1: Wallet Provider (Browser/dApps)
import { ZyfaiSDK } from "@zyfai/sdk";
const sdk = new ZyfaiSDK({ apiKey: "zyfai_...", referralSource: "openclaw-skill" });
await sdk.connectAccount(window.ethereum, 8453);
Option 2: Viem WalletClient (Server Agents)
import { ZyfaiSDK } from "@zyfai/sdk";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { base } from "viem/chains";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
account: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`),
chain: base,
transport: http(),
});
const sdk = new ZyfaiSDK({ apiKey: "zyfai_...", referralSource: "openclaw-skill" });
await sdk.connectAccount(walletClient, 8453);
For production, use KMS (AWS, GCP) or Wallet-as-a-Service (Turnkey, Privy) instead of raw private keys.
Option 1: Vault (Simplest)
For users who just want to deposit and earn — no setup required. Currently supports USDC on Base only.
// Deposit 100 USDC into the vault
const deposit = await sdk.vaultDeposit("100", "USDC");
console.log("Deposited:", deposit.txHash);
// Check your shares
const shares = await sdk.getVaultShares();
console.log(`Balance: ${shares.shares} ${shares.symbol}`);
// Withdraw (async process)
const withdraw = await sdk.vaultWithdraw();
console.log("Withdraw key:", withdraw.withdrawKey);
// Later, when claimable:
const claim = await sdk.vaultClaim(withdraw.withdrawKey);
console.log("Claimed:", claim.txHash);
Vault Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|
vaultDeposit(amount, asset?) | Deposit into vault (amount in human readable, e.g., "100") |
vaultWithdraw(shares?) | Request withdrawal (returns withdrawKey) |
vaultClaim(withdrawKey) | Claim completed withdrawal |
getVaultShares(userAddress?) | Get vault share balance |
Option 2: Smart Wallet (Full Control)
For users who want multi-chain support, custom strategies, and automated rebalancing.
How It Works
┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐
│ User's EOA │ ───► │ Zyfai Subaccount │
│ (their wallet) │ │ (Safe smart wallet) │
│ │ │ │
│ Owns & controls│ │ • Auto-rebalancing │
│ │ │ • Yield optimization│
│ │ │ • Non-custodial │
└─────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘
Key points:
- The subaccount is owned by the user's EOA — only they can withdraw
- Session keys allow automated rebalancing but cannot withdraw to other addresses
- Same EOA = same subaccount address across all chains
Supported Chains
| Chain | ID |
|---|
| Base | 8453 |
| Arbitrum | 42161 |
| Plasma | 9745 |
Important: Always Use EOA Address
When calling SDK methods, always pass the EOA address (the user's wallet address) as userAddress — never the subaccount/Safe address. The SDK derives the subaccount address automatically from the EOA.
Step-by-Step
1. Deploy Subaccount
const userAddress = "0x..."; // User's EOA (NOT the subaccount address!)
const chainId = 8453; // Base
// Check if subaccount exists
const wallet = await sdk.getSmartWalletAddress(userAddress, chainId);
console.log(`Subaccount: ${wallet.address}`);
console.log(`Deployed: ${wallet.isDeployed}`);
// Deploy if needed
if (!wallet.isDeployed) {
const result = await sdk.deploySafe(userAddress, chainId, "conservative");
console.log("Subaccount deployed:", result.safeAddress);
}
Strategies:
"conservative" — Stable yield, lower risk
"aggressive" — Higher yield, higher risk
2. Enable Yield Optimization
await sdk.createSessionKey(userAddress, chainId);
// Always verify the session key was activated
const user = await sdk.getUserDetails();
if (!user.hasActiveSessionKey) {
// Session key not active — retry the process
console.log("Session key not active, retrying...");
await sdk.createSessionKey(userAddress, chainId);
// Verify again
const userRetry = await sdk.getUserDetails();
if (!userRetry.hasActiveSessionKey) {
throw new Error("Session key activation failed after retry. Contact support.");
}
}
console.log("Session key active:", user.hasActiveSessionKey);
This allows Zyfai to rebalance funds automatically. Session keys cannot withdraw to arbitrary addresses — only optimize within the protocol.
Important: Always verify the session key is active by checking getUserDetails().hasActiveSessionKey after calling createSessionKey. If it returns false, retry the process. A session key must be active for automated yield optimization to work.
3. Deposit Funds
// Deposit 10 USDC (6 decimals) - default asset
await sdk.depositFunds(userAddress, chainId, "10000000");
// Deposit 0.5 WETH (18 decimals)
// IMPORTANT: User must have WETH, not ETH. Wrap ETH to WETH first if needed.
await sdk.depositFunds(userAddress, chainId, "500000000000000000", "WETH");
Funds move from EOA -> Subaccount and start earning yield immediately.
4. Withdraw Funds
// Withdraw all USDC (default)
await sdk.withdrawFunds(userAddress, chainId);
// Partial USDC withdrawal (5 USDC)
await sdk.withdrawFunds(userAddress, chainId, "5000000");
// Withdraw all WETH
await sdk.withdrawFunds(userAddress, chainId, undefined, "WETH");
Funds return to the user's EOA. Withdrawals are processed asynchronously.
5. Disconnect
await sdk.disconnectAccount();
Complete Example
import { ZyfaiSDK } from "@zyfai/sdk";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { base } from "viem/chains";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
async function startEarningYield(userAddress: string) {
const sdk = new ZyfaiSDK({ apiKey: process.env.ZYFAI_API_KEY! });

// Connect using WalletClient (recommended for server agents)
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
account: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`),
chain: base,
transport: http(),
});
await sdk.connectAccount(walletClient, chainId);
// Deploy subaccount if needed (always pass EOA as userAddress)
const wallet = await sdk.getSmartWalletAddress(userAddress, chainId);
if (!wallet.isDeployed) {
await sdk.deploySafe(userAddress, chainId, "conservative");
console.log("Subaccount created:", wallet.address);
}
// Enable automated optimization
await sdk.createSessionKey(userAddress, chainId);
// Verify session key is active
const user = await sdk.getUserDetails();
if (!user.hasActiveSessionKey) {
console.log("Session key not active, retrying...");
await sdk.createSessionKey(userAddress, chainId);
const userRetry = await sdk.getUserDetails();
if (!userRetry.hasActiveSessionKey) {
throw new Error("Session key activation failed. Contact support.");
}
}
// Deposit 100 USDC
await sdk.depositFunds(userAddress, chainId, "100000000");
console.log("Deposited! Now earning yield.");
await sdk.disconnectAccount();
}
async function withdrawYield(userAddress: string, amount?: string) {
const sdk = new ZyfaiSDK({ apiKey: process.env.ZYFAI_API_KEY! });
const chainId = 8453; // Base
// Connect using WalletClient
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
account: privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`),
chain: base,
transport: http(),
});
await sdk.connectAccount(walletClient, chainId);
// Withdraw funds (pass EOA as userAddress)
if (amount) {
// Partial withdrawal
await sdk.withdrawFunds(userAddress, chainId, amount);
console.log(`Withdrawn ${amount} (6 decimals) to EOA`);
} else {
// Full withdrawal
await sdk.withdrawFunds(userAddress, chainId);
console.log("Withdrawn all funds to EOA");
}
await sdk.disconnectAccount();
}

Data Methods
getPositions
Get all active DeFi positions for a user across protocols. Optionally filter by chain.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
| userAddress | string | Yes | User's EOA address |
| chainId | SupportedChainId | No | Optional: Filter by specific chain ID |
Example:
// Get all positions across all chains
const positions = await sdk.getPositions("0xUser...");
// Get positions on Arbitrum only
const arbPositions = await sdk.getPositions("0xUser...", 42161);
Returns:
interface PositionsResponse {
success: boolean;
userAddress: string;
positions: Position[];
}
getAvailableProtocols
Get available DeFi protocols and pools for a specific chain with APY data.
const protocols = await sdk.getAvailableProtocols(42161); // Arbitrum
protocols.protocols.forEach((protocol) => {
console.log(`${protocol.name} (ID: ${protocol.id})`);
if (protocol.pools) {
protocol.pools.forEach((pool) => {
console.log(` Pool: ${pool.name} - APY: ${pool.apy || "N/A"}%`);
});
}
});
Returns:
interface ProtocolsResponse {
success: boolean;
chainId: SupportedChainId;
protocols: Protocol[];
}
getUserDetails
Get current authenticated user details including smart wallet, chains, protocols, and settings. Requires SIWE authentication.
await sdk.connectAccount(walletClient, chainId);
const user = await sdk.getUserDetails();
console.log("Smart Wallet:", user.smartWallet);
console.log("Chains:", user.chains);
console.log("Has Active Session:", user.hasActiveSessionKey);
Returns UpdateUserProfileResponse (same as updateUserProfile).
updateUserProfile
Update the authenticated user's profile settings including strategy, protocols, splitting, and cross-chain options. Requires SIWE authentication.
sdk.updateUserProfile(params: UpdateUserProfileRequest): Promise<UpdateUserProfileResponse>
Parameters:
interface UpdateUserProfileRequest {
/** Investment strategy: "conservative" or "aggressive" */
strategy?: string;
/** Array of protocol IDs to use */
protocols?: string[];
/** Enable auto-selection of protocols */
autoSelectProtocols?: boolean;
/** Enable omni-account for cross-chain operations */
omniAccount?: boolean;
/** Array of chain IDs to operate on */
chains?: number[];
/** Enable automatic compounding (default: true) */
autocompounding?: boolean;
/** Custom name for your agent */
agentName?: string;
/** Enable cross-chain strategy execution */
crosschainStrategy?: boolean;
/** Enable position splitting across multiple protocols */
splitting?: boolean;
/** Minimum number of splits (1-4) */
minSplits?: number;
/** Asset to update: "usdc" (default) or "eth" */
asset?: "USDC" | "WETH";
}
Note on asset: Each asset has its own configuration. Use asset: "WETH" to update WETH settings separately from USDC.
Returns:
interface UpdateUserProfileResponse {
success: boolean;
smartWallet?: string;
chains?: number[];
strategy?: string;
protocols?: string[];
autoSelectProtocols?: boolean;
omniAccount?: boolean;
autocompounding?: boolean;
agentName?: string;
crosschainStrategy?: boolean;
executorProxy?: boolean;
hasActiveSessionKey?: boolean;
splitting?: boolean;
minSplits?: number;
customization?: Record<string, any>;
asset?: "USDC" | "WETH";
}
Examples:
// Update strategy from conservative to aggressive
await sdk.updateUserProfile({
strategy: "aggressive",
});
// Configure specific protocols
const protocolsResponse = await sdk.getAvailableProtocols(8453);
const selectedProtocols = protocolsResponse.protocols
.filter(p => ["Aave", "Compound", "Moonwell"].includes(p.name))
.map(p => p.id);
await sdk.updateUserProfile({
protocols: selectedProtocols,
});
// Enable position splitting (distribute across multiple protocols)
await sdk.updateUserProfile({
splitting: true,
minSplits: 3, // Split across at least 3 protocols
});
// Verify changes
const userDetails = await sdk.getUserDetails();
console.log("Strategy:", userDetails.strategy);
console.log("Splitting:", userDetails.splitting);
Cross-chain strategies: Only enable cross-chain when the user explicitly requests it. For cross-chain to work, both crosschainStrategy and omniAccount must be set to true. Never enable cross-chain settings by default.
// Enable cross-chain ONLY when explicitly requested by the user
await sdk.updateUserProfile({
crosschainStrategy: true,
omniAccount: true,
});
// Now funds can be rebalanced across configured chains
const user = await sdk.getUserDetails();
console.log("Operating on chains:", user.chains);
Notes:
- Strategy: Can be changed anytime. Subsequent rebalancing uses the new active strategy.
- Protocols: Use
getAvailableProtocols(chainId) to get valid protocol IDs before updating.
- Smart Splitting (minSplits = 1): Default mode. To maximize returns, funds are automatically distributed across multiple DeFi pools — but only when beneficial. The system intelligently decides when splitting is advantageous based on current market conditions and opportunities. Funds may not split if no opportunity exists.
- Forced Splitting (minSplits > 1): When
minSplits is set to 2, 3, or 4, funds are always distributed across at least that many pools for improved risk diversification (up to 4 DeFi pools). This guarantees your funds will be split regardless of market conditions.
- Cross-chain: Requires both
crosschainStrategy: true AND omniAccount: true. Only activate when the user explicitly asks for cross-chain yield optimization. Chains are configured during initial setup and cannot be changed via this method.
- Auto-compounding: Enabled by default. When
true, yields are reinvested automatically.
- Smart wallet address, chains, and
executorProxy cannot be updated via this method.
getAPYPerStrategy
Get global APY by strategy type, time period, chain, and token. Use this to compare expected returns between strategies before deploying.
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
| crossChain | boolean | No | If true, returns APY for cross-chain strategies; if false, single-chain (default: false) |
| days | number | No | Period over which APY is calculated: 7, 15, 30, 60 (default: 7) |
| strategy | string | No | Strategy risk profile: "conservative" or "aggressive" (default: "conservative") |
| chainId | number | No | Filter by specific chain ID (e.g., 8453 for Base) |
| tokenSymbol | string | No | Filter by token: "USDC" or "WETH" |
Example:
// Get 7-day APY for USDC conservative strategy
const usdcApy = await sdk.getAPYPerStrategy(false, 7, "conservative", undefined, "USDC");
console.log("USDC APY:", usdcApy.data);
// Get 30-day APY for WETH aggressive strategy on Base
const wethApy = await sdk.getAPYPerStrategy(false, 30, "aggressive", 8453, "WETH");
console.log("WETH APY on Base:", wethApy.data);
// Compare strategies
const conservative = await sdk.getAPYPerStrategy(false, 30, "conservative");
const aggressive = await sdk.getAPYPerStrategy(false, 30, "aggressive");
console.log(`Conservative 30d APY: ${conservative.data[0]?.average_apy}%`);
console.log(`Aggressive 30d APY: ${aggressive.data[0]?.average_apy}%`);
Returns:
interface APYPerStrategyResponse {
success: boolean;
count: number;
data: APYPerStrategy[];
}
interface APYPerStrategy {
id: string;
timestamp: string;
amount: number;
fee_threshold: number;
days: number;
chain_id: number;
is_cross_chain: boolean;
average_apy: number;
average_apy_with_rzfi: number;
total_rebalances: number;
created_at: string;
strategy: string;
token_symbol?: string;
average_apy_with_fee: number;
average_apy_with_rzfi_with_fee: number;
average_apy_without_fee?: number;
average_apy_with_rzfi_without_fee?: number;
events_average_apy?: Record<string, number>;
}
getOnchainEarnings
Get onchain earnings for a wallet with per-token breakdown (USDC, WETH).
const earnings = await sdk.getOnchainEarnings(smartWalletAddress);
console.log("Total earnings by token:", earnings.data.totalEarningsByToken);
// { "USDC": 150.50, "WETH": 0.05 }
console.log("USDC earnings:", earnings.data.totalEarningsByToken["USDC"]);
console.log("WETH earnings:", earnings.data.totalEarningsByToken["WETH"]);
Returns:
// TokenEarnings is a record of token symbols to amounts
type TokenEarnings = Record<string, number>; // e.g., { "USDC": 100.5, "WETH": 0.025 }
interface OnchainEarningsResponse {
success: boolean;
data: OnchainEarnings;
}
interface OnchainEarnings {
walletAddress: string;
totalEarningsByToken: TokenEarnings;
lastCheckTimestamp?: string;
lastLogDate?: Record<string, string | null>;
}
registerAgentOnIdentityRegistry (ERC-8004)
Register your Zyfai deployed agent on the Identity Registry following the ERC-8004 standard. This is used for OpenClaw agent registration. The method fetches a tokenUri containing the agent's metadata stored on IPFS, then registers it on-chain.
Supported Chains:
| Chain | Chain ID |
|---|
| Base | 8453 |
| Arbitrum | 42161 |
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
| smartWallet | string | Yes | The Zyfai deployed smart wallet address to register as an agent |
| chainId | SupportedChainId | Yes | Chain ID (only 8453 or 42161) |
Example:
const sdk = new ZyfaiSDK({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
await sdk.connectAccount(walletClient, 8453);
// Get smart wallet address
const walletInfo = await sdk.getSmartWalletAddress(userAddress, 8453);
const smartWallet = walletInfo.address;
// Register agent on Identity Registry
const result = await sdk.registerAgentOnIdentityRegistry(smartWallet, 8453);
console.log("Registration successful:");
console.log(" Tx Hash:", result.txHash);
console.log(" Chain ID:", result.chainId);
console.log(" Smart Wallet:", result.smartWallet);
Returns:
interface RegisterAgentResponse {
success: boolean;
txHash: string;
chainId: number;
smartWallet: string;
}
How It Works:
- Fetches a
tokenUri from the Zyfai API (agent metadata stored on IPFS)
- Encodes the
register(tokenUri) call for the Identity Registry contract
- Sends the transaction from the connected wallet
- Waits for on-chain confirmation
Security
- Non-custodial — User's EOA owns the subaccount
- Session keys are limited — Can rebalance, cannot withdraw elsewhere
- Deterministic — Same EOA = same subaccount on every chain
- Flexible key management — Use wallet providers, WalletClients, or KMS integrations
Key Management Best Practices
For production autonomous agents, we recommend:
- Use a WalletClient with a secure key source (not raw private keys)
- Integrate with KMS (AWS KMS, GCP Cloud KMS) for hardware-backed key storage
- Consider Wallet-as-a-Service providers like Turnkey, Privy, or Dynamic
- Never hardcode private keys in source code
- Rotate keys periodically and implement key revocation procedures
Troubleshooting
Subaccount address mismatch across chains
The subaccount address should be identical across all chains for the same EOA. If you see different addresses:
// Check addresses on both chains
const baseWallet = await sdk.getSmartWalletAddress(userAddress, 8453);
const arbWallet = await sdk.getSmartWalletAddress(userAddress, 42161);
if (baseWallet.address !== arbWallet.address) {
console.error("Address mismatch! Contact support.");
}
If addresses don't match:
- Try redeploying on the affected chain
- If the issue persists, contact support on Telegram: @paul_zyfai
"Deposit address not found" error
This means the wallet isn't registered in the backend. Solution:
- Call
deploySafe() first — even if the Safe is already deployed on-chain, this registers it with the backend
- Then retry
createSessionKey()
"Invalid signature" error
This typically means:
- The wallet/signer doesn't match the EOA you're passing
- The Safe address on-chain doesn't match what the SDK expects
Verify you're using the correct wallet for the EOA.
