YieldAgent is available at: https://agent.yield.xyz/ and OpenClaw ready on ClawHub🦞
Onchain yield is abundant, but immensely fragmented. The best opportunities are scattered across hundreds of protocols, dozens of networks, and thousands of distinct yield sources; each with its own mechanics, risk profile, lockup terms, and edge cases.
Yield.xyz was built to fix the access problem. We standardized even the most heterogeneous deposit and withdrawal flows into one normalized API, so builders can plug in once and instantly access the entire onchain yield universe; at production scale, with billions of dollars in volume processed through our API.
But unifying access didn’t solve the hardest part: choice.
When the menu is thousands of options and the market moves 24/7, picking the 'right' yield, and keeping allocations optimal as conditions change, becomes a full-time job. The transaction cost isn't technical. It's human. Monitoring, evaluating, and rebalancing across protocols requires constant attention, professional tooling, and deep expertise. Effective yield management stayed gated not by availability, but by time and resources.
In other words: the best yields were a privilege reserved for those who could pay for them.
YieldAgent closes that gap. It turns unified access into an intelligent, continuously operating yield manager, so users and builders can get the best of the opportunity set without needing a hedge-fund team to navigate it. And at virtually no cost.
YieldAgent: the smart money manager in your pocket
We’re releasing YieldAgent, the first yield-native agent skill built on Yield.xyz.
YieldAgent gives an AI agent a controlled way to discover onchain yields, build the right transactions, and manage a yield portfolio, across the long tail of Web3 opportunities, without hand-integrating dozens of protocols and chains.
Under the hood, it’s powered by the Yield.xyz unified yield API (staking + DeFi + more), covering 2,600+ yield opportunities across 80+ networks.
YieldAgent is now live on ClawHub — meaning any OpenClaw agent can install the skill and start discovering yields, building transactions, and managing positions through a single, unified yield layer. And this is just the beginning: we’re actively rolling YieldAgent out across additional agent runtimes and marketplaces, so you can bring yield-native execution wherever your agents already live.
Think of YieldAgent as:
- A global yield search engine — what exists, where, and under what constraints
- A transaction factory — builds correct onchain actions for any protocol
- A portfolio operator — monitors positions, claims rewards, exits, rotates
- A "do it for me" layer — driven by your goals and risk appetite
Why this matters: “meritocratic yield” at internet scale
Historically, the best capital allocation was gated. High-net-worth individuals paid hedge funds and investment banks heavy fees. Ultra-high-net-worth families built dedicated offices. Everyone else either paid up or did it themselves—at massive opportunity cost.
YieldAgent flips that dynamic.
What was bespoke becomes programmable. What was gated becomes composable.
An agent can now do the boring-but-critical work continuously, 24/7:
- track APY and TVL changes
- monitor shifts in pool conditions
- respond faster than a human ever could
- and keep a portfolio aligned with the user’s objectives
“Controlled environment” by design: non-custodial, unsigned transactions
This is the part we're most opinionated about: control. YieldAgent builds unsigned transactions. The agent analyzes opportunities and constructs the exact onchain call data, but execution still happens through your wallet. You review. You sign. You stay in control.
And importantly, that signing flow is as flexible as you want it to be:
- Fully automated execution, where you pre-approve policies/limits (assets, protocols, max size, slippage, chain allowlists, etc.) and the agent can execute within those guardrails, or
- Curated “proposal mode”, where the agent produces a clear set of recommended actions (with rationale), and you manually approve and execute each step.
This separation is intentional:
- agents get powerful capabilities
- individuals and institutions keep control at the signing boundary
- and every action remains verifiable, auditable, and policy-constrained
From fully automated, policy-bound execution to human-in-the-loop approvals: your signing flow, your rules.
Super skills: what the agent can actually do
Most “agents” stop at recommendations. YieldAgent is built for action, while still keeping you in control at the signing boundary.
Beyond the core “find / enter / exit”, the skill’s advanced capability set (“super skills”) expands into the things that make yield management real in production:
Enter SuperSkills
SuperSkills are pre-built, composable action patterns that agents can snap together. Think of them as battle-tested recipes for common DeFi operations:
- Rate Monitor — Tracks APY on your active positions and alerts you when rates drop below your threshold
- Yield Rotation — Surfaces better opportunities when market rates shift, with unsigned transactions ready to execute
- Position Rebalancing — Maintains target allocations across protocols as your portfolio drifts
Each SuperSkill is a reusable pattern that combines YieldAgent's 11 tools in proven sequences.
- Portfolio understanding: inspect positions, balances, and yield metadata (limits, lockups, assets, etc.)
- Ongoing position ops: claim rewards, restake, harvest, and manage strategy-specific maintenance actions
- Continuous monitoring: optional heartbeat-style checks for drift, changes, or action opportunities
- Safety-first execution plumbing: structures workflows around predictable, verifiable transaction patterns
In other words: not just “here’s an APY”… but “here’s the portfolio, here are the actions, here’s what changed, here’s what to do next.”
Every SuperSkill we ship gets battle-tested across real usage. Edge cases get caught. Transaction patterns get refined. Safety rails harden. The library compounds.
When you build on SuperSkills, you’re not just getting a code surface, you’re getting the accumulated learning from every agent that ran before you.
It’s the same playbook that made platforms like Stripe and Twilio so powerful:
- abstract the hard parts,
- expose clean interfaces,
- let builders ship faster, with fewer footguns.
For users: “take my USDC, find the best yield”
The “personal” use case is the simplest to understand:
- You set up an agent wallet (self-custody or your preferred model).
- You install the YieldAgent skill.
- You tell it what you want:
- token (e.g., USDC),
- constraints (chain preferences, protocol allowlist/denylist),
- risk posture (conservative vs opportunistic),
- goals (maximize yield, minimize volatility, ladder liquidity, etc.).
From there, it can:
- scan opportunities,
- propose an allocation,
- build the transactions to enter,
- and keep managing the position set over time.
For builders: ship “the world’s best asset manager” inside your app
If you’re a neobank, wallet, fintech, or infrastructure provider, this is where it gets spicy.
Instead of:
- building bespoke integrations,
- maintaining protocol adapters,
- chasing chain-specific edge cases,
…you can give users an agent experience backed by a unified yield layer, while keeping your own UX, policies, and fee model.
Security & trust
If agents are going to touch financial actions, security can’t be a footnote.
Yield.xyz is built for production financial systems and has handled billions in volume via its API over the last several years—supporting some of the most security-first organizations in the industry, including:
- Hardware wallets (e.g., Ledger)
- Institutional MPC infrastructure (e.g., Utila)
- MiCA-licensed neobanks (e.g., Deblock)
- Embedded wallet providers (e.g., Crossmint, Portal, Turnkey, and Privy)
On top of that institutional adoption, we’ve invested heavily in formal controls and third-party review:
- SOC 2 certified
- Audited and reviewed by leading security firms including Zellic, Trail of Bits, and Spearbit/Cantina
The result is a yield layer designed to be composable for builders and safe-by-default for users, with clear execution boundaries (unsigned transactions + wallet-controlled signing) and battle-tested patterns that harden with every release.
The bet we’re making
The future of DeFi isn’t humans clicking buttons. It’s agents executing strategies.
But agents don’t win by “being smart”, they win by having reliable building blocks: composable, tested primitives that abstract the messy complexity of onchain execution into clean, verifiable actions.
That’s what Yield.xyz’s Agent skill is and what SuperSkills are: a capability layer that turns yield management from a pile of integrations into repeatable patterns.
We’re not trying to build the agent. We’re building the infrastructure that makes every agent better.
Why now
Three things converged:
- Agents are real. Not demos. Not “coming soon.” We’re already seeing production agents run 24/7, make decisions continuously, and manage real value. The demand for dependable automation primitives is immediate.
- The tool layer matured. YieldAgent’s toolset covers the full lifecycle — discovery → analysis → transaction construction → monitoring — and SuperSkills are the composition layer on top: turning tools into repeatable workflows.
- Wallets caught up. With modern self-custodial execution layers (Crossmint, Portal, Turnkey, Privy, and others), agents can actually act on these patterns in a controlled way.

Install the skill, tell your agent to "find the best USDC yields on Base," and watch it work.
For users and integrators
YieldAgent is non-custodial by design. We build unsigned transactions—your wallet signs them. That architectural boundary is intentional, and it's where you enforce limits.
If you're using or integrating YieldAgent early on: set spending caps, allowlist protocols, restrict chains, and validate every transaction before signing. Start conservative. Log everything. Expand permissions only after patterns prove safe. The agent proposes optimal yield strategies, but execution control stays yours.
Roadmap: beyond DeFi (and yes, perps)
YieldAgent starts with what we know best: onchain yield.
But the broader thesis is bigger:
- multi-strategy portfolios,
- more strategy types,
- expanded asset classes over time (tokenized RWAs, money-market-like rails, etc.),
- and eventually a single “portfolio brain” that can reason across venues and exposures.
Pricing
YieldAgent is entirely free to use for personal use cases.
What’s next
This launch is just the starting line.
Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll continuously expand the YieldAgent skill with deeper “super skills,” broader strategy coverage, and a tighter feedback loop with the developer community. We’ll ship frequent updates as we add:
- more strategy types and portfolio behaviors (from conservative earn to more active, opportunistic routing),
- richer controls for risk, constraints, and preferences,
- improved monitoring and automation patterns (while keeping execution verifiable and user-controlled),
- and broader rails that make agents truly useful in the real economy.
Our goal is ambitious and simple:
Make YieldAgent the single best yield layer—across all of Web3, and increasingly across Web2 as tokenized assets and machine payments mature.
We’ll be dropping more releases and updates soon. This is one of those products that gets better every week.
