# DAO

The Zyfai project has built infrastructure for retail users to deploy their own DeFi Agent, which generate the best yields for users across multiple chains.

### Stakeholders

The DAO is a decentralized collective of:

* **Builders** integrating Zyfai SDK and driving the adoption of Zyfai agentic yield stack
* **Investors and advisors** providing resources and expertise to develop the protocol
* **Team and contributors** developing the protocol
* **Users, ZFI holders and stakers** using Zyfai products, supporting the protocol and participating in governance

### Goals

The DAO exists to give the community direct influence over the future of Zyfai protocol. A structured governance lifecycle ensures that proposals are meaningful, aligned with long-term protocol development, and resistant to spam.

The DAO operates with three core objectives:

* **Build a better onchain experience.** The primary mission is to deliver the best possible product to end users. Every proposal should ultimately serve this goal.
* **Drive protocol development.** Users and partners are not passive participants. New features, integrations, incentive programs, and SDK improvements can all be proposed and voted on by the community.
* **Strengthen ZFI value.** The ZFI token and its staked counterpart, stZFI, reflect the value of the Zyfai ecosystem. The DAO works to increase ZFI utility and long-term value through governance-driven initiatives.

The DAO controls 33% of the total ZFI supply, allocated to fund ecosystem growth, incentive programs, and protocol improvements.

### How Governance Works

Proposals begin on [Discourse](https://zyfai.discourse.group/), where authors present their ideas and engage with stakers and the broader community for feedback and discussion. Once a proposal has been refined through community input, the author submits it to [Snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:zyfai.eth) for a formal vote by stakers.
