Skip to main contentAI Agent
An autonomous, AI-powered strategy that manages your vault. The agent handles yield scanning, rebalancing, reward compounding, and transaction execution.
APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
The annualized rate of return offered by a protocol, not accounting for compounding effects. Often used to compare raw yield across opportunities.
Adjusted APY
A conservative estimate of yield that accounts for the volatility and potential devaluation of reward tokens. Yield Seeker converts all rewards to USDC to ensure this rate reflects actual returns.
Autoseek
Yield Seeker’s default strategy. Autoseek monitors yield opportunities in real time, reallocates funds to top-performing vaults, converts reward tokens into USDC, and compounds returns—all automatically.
Base Network
A Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum. Yield Seeker currently operates on Base, allowing for low-fee, high-speed DeFi transactions.
Compound Interest
Interest earned on both your initial deposit and the interest that has already been accrued. This accelerates capital growth over time.
EIP-7702
An Ethereum protocol standard used to delegate specific transaction permissions to your agent. Enables secure, gas-efficient execution without exposing your private keys.
Lending Protocol
A DeFi platform where users can lend tokens (such as USDC) to earn yield from borrowers. Examples include AAVE, Morpho, and Compound.
Liquidity Pool
A pool of assets deposited into a protocol that borrowers can access. Yield is generated for lenders based on demand for borrowing and protocol incentives.
Rebalancing
The process of moving assets between vaults or protocols to capture higher yield. Yield Seeker agents rebalance automatically when doing so is cost-effective.
Reward Tokens
Extra tokens distributed by some protocols as incentives for depositing assets. These are often volatile. Yield Seeker converts them to USDC to protect your returns.
Smart Contract
A program deployed on the blockchain that runs autonomously. Yield Seeker interfaces with smart contracts through its agents without human intervention.
Isolated Smart Account
An isolated contract-based account which the user’s agent uses to control funds. Each account is scoped to a single user, and only that user can withdraw funds from it.
TEE (Trusted Execution Environment)
A secure enclave used by Coinbase to store private keys. Yield Seeker uses Coinbase’s TEE-based infrastructure to ensure keys remain encrypted, isolated, and inaccessible during operations.
Total Value Locked (TVL)
The total amount of capital deposited into any given vault.
Transaction Delegation
A process where your agent is authorized to act on your behalf via smart contract logic. You retain full withdrawal rights at all times.
USDC
A widely used, dollar-pegged stablecoin. USDC is the only token currently supported by Yield Seeker for deposits and withdrawals.
