Giza builds infrastructure and autonomous agents that bring machine learning to web3 smart contracts and DeFi. Its flagship agent, ARMA, optimizes stablecoin yields across multiple DeFi lending protocols by continuously monitoring liquidity depth, yield curves, and risk metrics, then dynamically reallocating capital and auto-compounding returns. Users deposit into a self-custodial wallet and configure a strategy; the agent handles ongoing optimization while keeping every decision auditable and explainable. Giza emphasizes three principles: self-custody (users retain ownership), verifiable decision-making, and continuous autonomous execution. The platform offers frameworks, CLIs, datasets, and SDKs for developers building on-chain AI agents, and launched a GIZA token to coordinate its agent economy. Backed by CoinFund, Arrington Capital, and the Base Ecosystem Fund, Giza targets the agentic-DeFi frontier where AI agents manage real capital on-chain.
