Giza has just launched ARMA on the Layer 2 network called Base. This is an exciting step for autonomous decentralized finance, or DeFi. ARMA is Giza’s flagship stablecoin yield optimization agent. Its goal? To make DeFi interactions smoother and more efficient.
“Intelligence is becoming the arbiter of power in digital markets,” says Renç Korzay, the CEO of Giza. “Most people, however, are limited by human cognitive constraints. Giza Agents are unlocking a new era of automated finance. Here, machines handle the complexity, allowing people to retain control.”
Traditionally, DeFi tools require users to manage their positions manually across various protocols. This can be complex and risky. Giza changes that. It uses continuous market evaluation, working around the clock. By processing large volumes of cross-chain data, ARMA identifies and executes the best strategies.
This shift is significant. It moves us from manual operations to a more advanced financial system. Intelligent agents optimize capital allocation and streamline market activities. They add value for participants. In this new model, agents act as the main interface for market activities, offering sophisticated strategies while ensuring users maintain control through smart accounts and session key infrastructure.
Base’s infrastructure is perfect for ARMA. It offers low transaction fees and deep liquidity pools, which help reduce slippage. This means agents can perform optimization tasks more effectively. They enhance capital efficiency and improve price discovery using specialized strategies. By tapping into Base’s growing ecosystem, Giza aims to reach more DeFi users with ARMA.
Since its launch, ARMA has seen impressive results. It has deployed over 7,000 agents, managed more than $300,000 in user assets, and executed over 10,000 autonomous transactions—all without human intervention. The launch on Base is expected to scale these numbers even further, giving DeFi users access to streamlined yield optimization strategies. ARMA agents can be customized to fit user-specific needs, such as asset size and slippage tolerance, ensuring optimal performance while keeping users in control.
Giza’s success comes from a new approach to agent-driven DeFi, based on three key advancements. First, a semantic abstraction layer simplifies complex protocol interactions into standardized actions. This allows agents to execute advanced strategies easily. Second, a smart account infrastructure includes detailed permission management through session keys, ensuring security and user autonomy. Finally, a decentralized execution network supports agent operations by hosting servers in a decentralized way. Any malicious actions are penalized through crypto-economic mechanisms, encouraging reliable performance.
Giza’s protocol lays the groundwork for the next generation of autonomous financial agents. These agents can optimize functions across multiple chains and protocols. The company is also developing a software developer kit (SDK). This kit will enable developers to create intelligent agents that operate continuously, adapting to market conditions while following user-defined security parameters.
