How AI Powers SynthOS
Understanding the role of AI in strategy recommendations and portfolio analysis
SynthOS uses AI for intelligence, not automation. Our AI is your personal DeFi research assistant that analyzes opportunities and makes recommendations - but you stay in complete control of every decision.
What AI Does
1. Analyzes Your Wallet History
The AI scans your on-chain activity across 9+ EVM chains to understand your DeFi behavior:
- Transaction patterns: What protocols you've used (Aave, Uniswap, Compound, etc.)
- Risk profile: Types of strategies you prefer (lending, LP, staking)
- Position sizing: Average amounts you typically invest
- Hold duration: How long you typically keep positions
- Chain preferences: Which networks you're most active on
Analysis time: 2-3 minutes for comprehensive profile
New wallet? If you have no DeFi history, AI defaults to conservative recommendations and learns your preferences as you use SynthOS.
2. Assesses Your Risk Profile
Based on your activity, the AI categorizes you into a risk profile:
- Conservative: Prefers blue-chip protocols, stable yields, minimal volatility
- Balanced: Mix of established and emerging protocols
- Aggressive: Comfortable with higher risk for higher potential returns
3. Curates Personalized Yield Bundles
The AI creates custom yield bundles matched to your risk tolerance:
Stable Bundles (Conservative Users)
- 3-5 low-risk strategies from established protocols
- Focus on Aave, Compound, Morpho
- Target: 5-8% APY with minimal volatility
- Prioritizes capital preservation
Balanced Bundles (Moderate Risk)
- Mix of established and newer protocols
- Diversified across multiple chains
- Target: 8-12% APY with moderate volatility
- Balance between safety and returns
Growth Bundles (Aggressive Users)
- Higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities
- May include newer protocols or strategies
- Target: 12%+ APY with higher volatility
- Prioritizes maximum returns
4. Recommends Strategies
The AI continuously monitors 50+ DeFi protocols across multiple chains:
What it evaluates:
- Current APY and historical trends
- Protocol maturity and track record
- Total Value Locked (TVL) and liquidity depth
- Smart contract security and audit status
- Correlation between different strategies
- Gas costs vs potential returns
Scoring system:
- Each strategy receives a risk score (A+ to D rating)
- Highest-scoring strategies matching your profile are recommended
- Scores update hourly as market conditions change
What AI Doesn't Do
No Automatic Trading
- You approve every transaction
- AI cannot move your funds without your explicit consent
- All allocations and withdrawals are user-initiated
No Automatic Rebalancing
- You decide whether to act on recommendations
- Manual withdrawal and reallocation required
No Custody
- Your funds stay in your self-custodial vault
- AI has no access to your private keys
- You retain complete control at all times
No Guaranteed Returns
- AI recommendations are based on historical data and current conditions
- Past performance doesn't guarantee future results
- DeFi yields are variable and can change rapidly
How AI Recommendations Work
Step 1: Profile Analysis
When you connect your wallet, the AI:
- Scans your transaction history (30-90 days)
- Identifies patterns in your DeFi behavior
- Assigns you a risk profile
- Creates your personalized DeFi profile
Step 2: Strategy Matching
The AI then:
- Filters 50+ protocols to match your risk tolerance
- Evaluates current market conditions
- Scores each strategy based on multiple factors
- Selects top strategies for your profile
Step 3: Bundle Creation
AI groups compatible strategies into bundles:
- Diversifies across protocols to reduce risk
- Balances yield potential with safety
- Ensures sufficient liquidity for your position size
- Optimizes for gas efficiency across chains

|---|---|
| Suggests strategies | Decides which to use |
| Analyzes risk | Sets risk tolerance |
| Monitors performance | Initiates withdrawals |
| Recommends bundles | Allocates capital |
| Provides insights | Makes final decisions |
