Glossary
An autonomous system with a defined goal, permitted actions, controls, and risks.
Agent type
Section titled “Agent type”The strategy and product configuration that defines an agent’s goal, supported assets, operations, metrics, and risk profile.
Agent Wallet
Section titled “Agent Wallet”An isolated smart account associated with one agent. The user’s connected wallet owns it and retains withdrawal control; agent operators can execute only validated, permitted operations.
AgentWalletKit
Section titled “AgentWalletKit”The reusable wallet infrastructure behind Agent Wallets. It lets agents execute only validated operations through approved adapters and registered targets; the connected user wallet retains owner withdrawal control.
Annual Percentage Yield; an annualized return estimate that may account for compounding. YieldSeeker displays APY for supported Vault Agent metrics where available; it is not a guarantee.
Adapter
Section titled “Adapter”A protocol-specific contract that validates and executes an approved interaction.
Adapter Registry
Section titled “Adapter Registry”The registry that maps approved protocol targets to adapters and can disable or pause adapter-backed execution.
Allocation Engine (Autoseek)
Section titled “Allocation Engine (Autoseek)”The decision layer that evaluates approved opportunities and produces target allocations within an agent’s strategy, active rules, and portfolio constraints. Autoseek is the current Vault Agent’s Allocation Engine; the Execution Framework separately validates and executes permitted actions.
The Ethereum Layer 2 network on which the current YieldSeeker Vault Agent deployment operates.
Boundary
Section titled “Boundary”A measurable limit emitted by a rule for a held vault and metric. Monitoring records a boundary as clear, approaching (a warning or projected breach), or breached. A breach can wake the Allocation Engine early; the boundary itself does not decide or execute an action.
Candidate vault
Section titled “Candidate vault”A vault considered by the Vault Agent before eligibility, risk, liquidity, portfolio, and user-preference checks are applied.
Constrained execution
Section titled “Constrained execution”An execution model in which agents use approved paths and cannot make arbitrary contract calls.
Discuss and Steer
Section titled “Discuss and Steer”User-facing experiences for asking questions about an agent and expressing supported preferences.
Execution Framework
Section titled “Execution Framework”The shared layer that validates and submits permitted onchain operations through an Agent Wallet, Adapter Registry, approved adapters, and registered targets. It executes decisions but does not choose allocations.
ERC-4337
Section titled “ERC-4337”An account-abstraction standard using UserOperations and an EntryPoint for smart-wallet execution.
Investment profile
Section titled “Investment profile”A predefined configuration that influences current Vault Agent opportunity selection and allocation behavior.
Liquidity
Section titled “Liquidity”The capital available to enter or exit an opportunity without materially affecting execution conditions.
Memory
Section titled “Memory”Saved user instruction for an agent. Active, non-dismissed memories can guide agent behavior or compile into typed rules; a memory does not always produce a rule.
Monitoring
Section titled “Monitoring”The service that continuously evaluates active rule boundaries against supported live metrics. It records clear, approaching, and breached states and can wake the Allocation Engine after a breach; it never decides allocations, executes actions, or sends notifications.
Rebalancing
Section titled “Rebalancing”Moving an agent’s allocation between supported opportunities according to its strategy and constraints.
Registered target
Section titled “Registered target”A protocol contract approved in the Adapter Registry for a specific adapter.
A typed constraint or preference applied by the Allocation Engine. Rules come from saved memories or profile defaults; some rules also emit boundaries for Monitoring to watch. A rule cannot make an unsupported target eligible or bypass execution controls.
Reward token
Section titled “Reward token”A token distributed as an incentive in addition to a deposited or underlying asset.
Smart account
Section titled “Smart account”A programmable blockchain account, such as an Agent Wallet, that can validate and execute structured operations.
Timelock
Section titled “Timelock”A mandatory delay before an administrative change becomes active.
Total Value Locked; the value of assets deposited in a protocol or vault.
User sovereignty
Section titled “User sovereignty”The principle that users retain ownership, withdrawal rights, and the ability to stop participating.
Vault Agent
Section titled “Vault Agent”The current YieldSeeker agent type that allocates supported assets across approved DeFi vaults to pursue risk-adjusted yield.
