Protocol Selection

Agent Selection

When activating an agent, you select which protocols it can use:

await agent.activate({
  owner: userWallet,
  token: USDC_ADDRESS,
  protocols: ['aave', 'compound', 'moonwell'],
  txHash: depositTxHash,
});

Getting Available Protocols

Retrieve supported protocols for a token on your chain:

const { protocols } = await giza.protocols(USDC_ADDRESS);

console.log('Available protocols:', protocols);
// Output depends on chain:
// Base: ['aave', 'compound', 'moonwell', 'fluid', 'morpho_gauntlet_usdc_prime', ...]
// Ethereum: ['aave', 'compound', 'fluid', 'morpho_usual_boosted_usdc', ...]

Protocol Types

Core Protocols

Traditional lending markets like Aave, Compound, Moonwell, Fluid, and Hyperlend:

Direct lending/borrowing
Pool-based liquidity
Variable APRs based on utilization
Audited contracts (for established protocols)

Morpho Vaults

Optimization layer that aggregates liquidity:

Built on top of existing protocols
Managed strategies by firms like Gauntlet, Steakhouse, Felix, etc.
Can produce higher APRs through optimization
Additional layer of risk management
Available on most chains with varying strategies

Euler Vaults

Modular lending protocol:

Non-custodial
Permissionless vault creation
Flexible risk parameters
Isolated markets
Frontier vaults for emerging strategies

Protocol Risks

All DeFi protocols carry risk. Giza agents reduce exposure through diversification and optimization, but users should understand what can go wrong:

Smart Contract Risk

Protocols are powered by smart contracts
Bugs or exploits can lead to loss of funds
Mitigation: Audits, time-tested protocols, bug bounties, diversification

Liquidity Risk

Sudden large withdrawals can affect availability
High utilization may delay withdrawals
Mitigation: Diversification across protocols and chains

Oracle Risk

Protocols rely on price oracles
Oracle failures can cause liquidations or losses
Mitigation: Using protocols with reliable oracle systems

Protocol Governance Risk

Protocol parameters can change via governance
Changes may affect yields or security
Mitigation: Monitoring and automatic rebalancing

Chain-Specific Risks

Network outages or congestion
Bridge vulnerabilities (for L2s)
Chain reorganizations
Mitigation: Choosing established chains

Protocol Diversification

Giza agents spread capital across protocols to reduce exposure:

No single point of failure
Access to the best rates across protocols
Liquidity spread across multiple pools
Protocol-specific risks stay isolated

Constraints for Protocol Management

Control protocol usage with constraints:

Minimum Protocols

Ensure diversification:

{
  kind: 'min_protocols',
  params: { min_protocols: 2 }
}

Maximum Allocation

Cap exposure to any single protocol:

{
  kind: 'max_amount_per_protocol',
  params: { max_amount: '5000000000' } // 5000 USDC
}

Exclude Protocol

Blacklist specific protocols:

{
  kind: 'exclude_protocol',
  params: { protocol: 'fluid' }
}

Protocol-Specific Cap

Limit specific protocols:

{
  kind: 'max_allocation_amount_per_protocol',
  params: {
    protocol: 'morpho_gauntlet_usdc_prime',
    max_amount: '2000000000' // 2000 USDC
  }
}

Protocol Performance

Protocol Discovery

Get available protocols for a token:

const { protocols } = await giza.protocols(USDC_ADDRESS);

console.log('Available protocols:', protocols);
// ['aave', 'compound', 'moonwell', 'fluid', ...]

// Select protocols for activation
const selectedProtocols = protocols.slice(0, 3);

Historical Performance

Agents track how capital performs across protocols:

const { performance } = await agent.performance({ from: '2024-01-01 00:00:00' });

// See allocation across protocols over time
performance.forEach(point => {
  console.log(`${point.date}:`, point.portfolio);
  // { aave: 500, compound: 300, moonwell: 200 }
});

Protocol Updates

Adding New Protocols

As new protocols launch or existing ones upgrade:

Giza team evaluates security and liquidity
Protocols undergo risk assessment
If approved, added to supported list
Agents can automatically use new protocols

Updating Agent Protocols

Change protocols for an active agent:

await agent.updateProtocols(['aave', 'compound', 'moonwell', 'fluid']);

Updating protocols triggers rebalancing, which incurs gas costs.
