AI agents that price and trade insurance on DeFi yield positions.
Autonomous yield agents can only touch venues a human has whitelisted — everything else is off-limits, whatever it pays. Where coverage exists today, it moves at the speed of lawyers: bespoke deals, weeks of legal, priced for humans. Capital is constrained to the speed of human processes. ▎ ▎ Agentic Risk Coverage makes the risk a price. Zyfai's yield agent requests cover on a position it can't hold. bond.credit's underwriting agent prices the risk from its own underwriting data and returns a quote — and the agent can accept or counter. When they agree, the trade settles atomically on-chain through Cork Protocol's risk markets: cover tokens land in the agent's smart wallet, the premium pays the underwriter. If the position ever impairs, the agent exercises into liquid collateral at a fixed rate. Hard limits auto-reject anything unacceptable, like unaudited contracts. ▎ ▎ The stack: Cork's formally verified Phoenix risk markets and order book (settlement via the 1inch Limit Order Protocol v4), an ERC-4337 Safe smart wallet with sponsored gas as the agent's wallet, bond's underwriting engine and API, all live on Arbitrum One with real capital. Pricing v1 is a transparent heuristic — the reasoning engine is the roadmap, and every negotiation generates the underwriting data that trains it: better terms → more liquidity → more activity. Coverage builds confidence; confidence moves capital.
Friday: scope locked with Cork Protocol and Zyfai; Cork's Phoenix risk-market contracts deployed and Arbiscan-verified on Arbitrum One (CorkPoolManager, DefaultCorkController, CorkAdapter, ConstraintRateAdapter, SharesFactory); ERC-4337 Safe smart wallet server stood up (Safe 4337 v1.4.1, EntryPoint v0.7, Pimlico-sponsored gas). ▎ ▎ Saturday: live USDC risk market created on Cork; bond's underwriting agent monitoring the order book, pricing requests and quoting; full autonomous cycle working end-to-end on-chain without UI — request → quote → counter-offer → accept → atomic settlement, premium paid. ▎ ▎ Sunday: negotiation-feed UI on top of the working pipeline, live demo with real capital, pitch + demo videos. Built on production assumptions — this is the first slice of a Q3 pilot with our partners, not a throwaway demo.

Pre-seed. We bootstrapped our agent-underwriting data pipeline with $10K of our own capital and scaled to $100K deposited to agents through the Arbitrum mentorship program. Cork Protocol has committed test capital to the Q3 pilot, and we have ~$5M of indicative LP capital in the pipeline — much of it explicitly conditional on the coverage layer this project proves. Next step: seed the initial pilot pools this quarter.
