Sentient Pools provides users with a fully on-chain, permissionless tokenized vault managed 24/7 by AI Agents. Sentient Pools uses a non-custodial ERC-7540 vault system that dynamically rebalances liquidity across lending markets (e.g., Felix / Hyperlend / Hypurrfi / etc) and other yield sources like Hyperbeat.
Designed for intelligent on-chain capital management, each vault runs custom yield strategies with optimized execution, leveraging AI decision-making and advanced on-chain tooling, including precompiles.
How do we outperform the underlying yield-
Size-aware reallocation (multi-agent): Analyzer → QA → Executor routes funds to the highest feasible APY after our size lands (utilization/kink aware). We only move when gain ≥ threshold (bps) and the target has capacity—so we capture durable yield, not screenshot spikes.
Fixed-interval compounding: Interest/rewards are harvested on a cadence and redeposited, lifting price-per-share automatically.
Composability yield on top (ERC-7540 aiXYZ): Deposits mint a non-rebasing receipt (aiXYZ) that partners can list for LP/collateral/other DeFi primitives, enabling extra yield layers on top of base lending returns (subject to venue support).
Points & incentives capture: Farmed points and airdropped tokens earned with user capital are tracked and distributed pro-rata to vault shareholders with transparent accounting windows.
Core idea- Sentient Pools is a vault managed by sanboxed agent swarms: users deposit into an ERC-7540 vault and receive non-rebasing aiXYZ shares; a sandboxed Executor can only rebalance between whitelisted lending markets under strict on-chain policy. Architecture majorly consists of 3 components: Vault, Executor & Sub-Agents.
Vault (ERC-7540): Vault follows the ERC-7540 standard, which is an extension of ERC 4626, making receipt token composable across defi protocols. When you request a deposit of a supported asset, the vault queues to mint a non-rebasing share token called aiXYZ. This keeps aiXYZ composable for LP/collateral/points and supports batching/time-locked flows.You can go ahead LP in a simple uniswap v2 pool with aiXYZ and USDC/HYPE.
Sandboxed Executor (AI Agent): The agent holds only an EXECUTOR_ROLE on the vault—no custody. It can call exactly whitelisted actions via adapters: deposit into, or withdraw from, an approved market. Every call passes policy checks (whitelist, per-tx/per-epoch caps, min-gain, buffers).
Sub-Agents: Executor Agent uses multiple trained agents, namely Size-aware allocator, Rebalancing Expert & Compounding Expert. These subagents are trained on specific use cases and have in-house logic to help them achieve the best results. For example, the Size-aware allocator agent has an understanding of the lending market kink (aave-v3) and specific params for all the markets, and uses kink logic to figure out the equilibrium distribution of funds across markets to yield the highest APY.
