Investigation Report: Zyfai Rebalancer Agent for 0xA295...22ad (#8453:14358)
Investigator: Deckard 🔍 Date: 2026-02-27 Status: Completed Verdict: 🟡 Yellow (77/100)
Summary
This is a per-user rebalancer agent deployed by the ZyfAI platform on Base chain. ZyfAI (formerly Zyfi) is a legitimate DeFi yield optimization platform with a live token (ZFI), CoinGecko listing, DefiLlama tracking, and active development. The agent follows a factory pattern — each user wallet gets its own registered agent identity. The underlying platform is strong, but the individual agent has minimal on-chain footprint.
Agent Profile
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Agent ID | 8453:14358 |
| Registry | Base ERC-8004 Identity Registry |
| Owner | 0xA295...22ad |
| URI | IPFS (valid JSON metadata) |
| Active | Yes |
Investigation Findings
📋 Registration & Identity
Registration metadata is complete and well-structured. IPFS-hosted URI contains valid JSON with name, description, image, endpoints (web + MCP), technology details (ZK circuits, Groth16), and multi-chain support claims (Base, Arbitrum, Plasma). Image links to official Zyfai logo. Description accurately reflects platform capabilities.
📡 On-Chain Activity
Owner wallet shows 1 transaction and zero ETH balance on Base. This is consistent with a factory-deployed smart account agent — the wallet exists to hold the agent registration, not to transact independently. The agent operates through the ZyfAI platform's smart account infrastructure.

- Live MCP endpoint with functional tooling
- Open-source ZK implementation on GitHub
- CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and DefiLlama tracked
- Active social presence with genuine community engagement
