Dear KuCoin Users,
Time: May 21, 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:36 AM
KuCoin hosted an AMA (Ask-Me-Anything) session in the KuCoin Exchange Group, featuring Renç Korzay, CEO of GIZA.

Q&A from KuCoin to GIZA
Q: What is Giza?
Renç: Giza is building the future of finance through AI-powered agents that manage crypto assets 24/7 without human input. Think of us as the agentic "set it and forget it" solution for DeFi.
While everyone's talking about agent chatbots, we're actually deploying agents that make real decisions with real money on-chain. Our agents continuously monitor markets, find the best yields, and execute complex strategies across protocols - all while you sleep.
We liberate your time and attention while letting your capital work for you.
Q: Why did you build Giza?
Renç: Simple: DeFi is incredibly complex and time-consuming. The average person can't monitor yields across multiple protocols 24/7, calculate gas costs, or execute complex strategies at 3am when opportunities arise.
We built Giza because we were tired of missing opportunities in DeFi. Our agents handle the complexity for you, finding opportunities across protocols and chains that humans simply can't identify consistently. This means higher returns, less stress, and the ability to participate in DeFi strategies that were previously only available to technical experts.
A good analogy here is self driving cars:
Current DeFi is like having to be both a passenger AND a mechanic. In order to reach your destination, you need to understand the engine, monitor the road conditions, and sometimes even push the car yourself
We build self-driving cars for finance. You simply say where you want to go - 'I want better yield' - and our agent handles everything else. It finds the best routes, avoids risks, and operates 24/7 without getting tired.
Q: Who is the team behind Giza?
Renç: Unlike most projects in the intersection of AIxCrypto, we come from the AI background
As CEO, I previously led product development at major companies like Johnson & Johnson and Sony, and I bring enterprise-grade product leadership.
Fran Algaba is our CTO, he was Head of ML Engineering at BBVA and Adidas, building production-grade AI systems that handled millions of interactions.
Cem F Dagdelen is our CPO who previously founded Curve Labs which is a venture building studio that specializes in token and protocol development and brings deep expertise in mechanism design for decentralized systems.
We've assembled a team of data scientists and machine learning engineers from leading organizations like Ledger, Bancor, Aragon, BBVA, and Allianz - combining deep Web3 knowledge with financial expertise.
Q: Do you already have an agent?
Renç: Yes! This is also another differentiating factor of Giza. We already have PMF by building the first financial autonomous agent in Web3
ARMA (https://www.arma.xyz/), built on Giza’s infrastructure operates 24/7 across multiple protocols, enabling automated, personalized risk-aware stablecoin yield optimization. To date:
- $30M+ capital optimized
- 100,000+ autonomous transactions executed with zero security incidents
- Positive PnL on every realized trade; users remain fully self-custodial
- 25,000+ personalized agents live, 5x growth in three months
You can get yourself an agent today to manage your stablecoins
Q: What is your roadmap?
Renç: Here is a snapshot of what is ahead:
• Arma APR% evolution: Your go-to stablecoin is now providing 15% APR on stables at http://arma.xyz
• Agent Expansion: Institutional-grade agents, protocol-specific deployments and next-generation strategies beyond yield optimization
• Giza SDK: Permissionless development framework for autonomous financial applications with security guarantees
• Giza Protocol: Testnet in Q2, Mainnet after
• Giza Platform: Unified user flow for all automated finance operations
And much more to come!
Q: What are you excited about?
Renç: The transformation for DeFi adoption. Most people want the benefits of decentralized finance but don't have the time, technical knowledge, or 24/7 attention span to optimize their positions. Our agents bridge this gap, making sophisticated strategies accessible to everyone.
I'm also obviously excited about our token launch. The $GIZA token sits at the core of our vision. As agent adoption grows, the value flowing through our protocol increases, creating a virtuous cycle that benefits token holders.
We are the beginning of truly autonomous finance, where intelligence and capital work together without human limitations. That's what gets me out of bed every morning.
Free-Ask from the KuCoin Community to GIZA
Q: What specific strategies does ARMA employ to achieve +83% higher yields compared to static positions, and how are these strategies adapted in real-time to changing market conditions?
Renç: The features of the agent and its performance was a common question through out so I will start with a detailed deep dive to this one:
User Flow:
1. User goes to arma.xyz
2. User connects their wallet
3. A smart account is created for the user to enable a non-custodial automation environment
4. User deposits funds
5. User signs session keys to confirm the cryptographically bound operation space for the agent
6. ARMA is activated
Agent Operations:
1. Performs a comprehensive multi-factor analysis across the entire ecosystem
2. Screens all lending markets across Base Network
3. Identifies precise yield differentials between protocols, including comparable APRs adjusted to the liquidity that each agent manages, protocol incentives, and ecosystem rewards
4. Optimizes for full reward stack across multiple token distributions
5. Calculates individualized risk-adjusted returns for each position
6. Real-time empirical gas cost calculation for each individual transaction
7. Analyzes market depth to calculate any potential drop in APRs on larger movements
8. Factors in all transaction costs (gas, swap fees, protocol fees)
9. Executes only 100% profitable moves where the yield differential justified all costs
- Averaged 9.75% and 8.3% APR in March and April through this continuous intelligent capital optimization
- The current APR is at 15% (Combination of base yield and $GIZA) and it is the best offering out there for stables
Q: What role does the Giza token play in powering decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and autonomous agents within the Giza Network ecosystem?
Renç: There were number of questions around $GIZA utility and distribution:
The $GIZA token design centers on essential utility that creates sustainable value capture tied directly to the protocol's growth and usage:
1. Security staking: Operators must stake $GIZA to participate in the network
2. Progressive governance: Token holders who stake $GIZA gain increasing influence over protocol
3. Liquidity Provision: GIZA tokens form half of each liquidity pair in the protocol's AMM pools, enabling efficient fee processing with minimal slippage.
Agent operations generate fees that flow to stakers and operators, creating direct economic alignment between protocol usage and token value. As agent adoption grows, fee generation increases, driving sustainable token value accrual.
A substantial part of the token distribution is allocated for product and community growth as both are fundamental for our success.
Q: What is your strongest advantage that you think will make your team leading the market?
Renç: Our biggest advantage is that we're already executing while others are just talking. We have real agents optimizing over $30M in capital right now, executing 100,000+ autonomous transactions with zero security incidents.
We've built a complete security architecture that allows autonomous operation while maintaining non-custodial control.
This head start, combined with our team's unique blend of AI expertise and financial experience puts us at top.
Combining this with the questions around where to buy $GIZA:
- You can obviously but it at Kucoin!
