Getting Started

This guide provides the necessary steps to initialize an account, deposit assets, and activate the automated investment strategies within the Aegis protocol.

1. Supported Networks and Assets

hashtag
Network

Aegis is exclusively deployed on the Base network. All interactions and settlements occur on this layer. Users must ensure their wallets are configured for Base.

hashtag
Assets

  • Deposit Asset: The protocol currently accepts USDC for direct deposits.

  • Investment Assets: While deposits are denominated in USDC, the internal strategies managed by AutoFi Agents may utilize various supported assets depending on the selected strategy. The system handles necessary conversions automatically.

For users holding other assets, Aegis provides a swap integration within the deposit flow to facilitate conversion to USDC prior to deposit.

2. Prerequisites

To interact with Aegis, a compatible Web3 wallet is required. The system supports:

  • EOA Wallets: Standard external owned accounts (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet).

  • Account Abstraction Wallets: Wallets supporting ERC-4337 standards.

Connection and Sign In

Access the Aegis interface and connect your wallet.

  • Sign In: You will be prompted to sign an EIP-712 message. This cryptographic signature authenticates your session and authorizes the initialization of your dedicated Aegis account structure.

  • Initialization: Upon the first successful sign-in, the system automatically provisions your unique Smart Address (Smart Contract Account) and assigns the corresponding Agent Address.

Configure Strategy

After funding the account, a strategy must be active for automation to commence.

  • Navigate to the Strategy section.

  • Select a risk profile:

    • Conservative: Currently the primary supported mode, focusing on low-risk, reputable yield instruments (e.g., major lending markets).

  • (Optional) Preferences: You may explicitly blacklist specific protocols (e.g., Aave, Morpho) if you wish to exclude them from the investment universe.

  • Confirm the configuration.

Monitoring

Once the strategy is active, the AutoFi Agents begin operation immediately.

  • Dashboard: View real-time metrics including Total Value Locked (TVL), current APY, and accumulated yield.

  • Transaction History: Monitor all autonomous actions taken by the agents, including position entries, exits, and rebalancing events, directly through the transaction history log.

Your capital is now under active management. The system will continuously seek optimal yields while maintaining adherence to the selected risk parameters.
