Is Giza Safe?

|DeFi
C+

Risk Grade: C+ (41/100)

Giza is rated as elevated risk — multiple novel mechanisms and notable interaction risks.

Elevated risk — novel AI agent execution model introduces unproven autonomous decision-making risks compounded by lack of formal audits.

Giza is an autonomous AI agent protocol that lets users deploy non-custodial AI agents to optimize DeFi yield strategies across multiple chains. Its flagship product ARMA automatically reallocates stablecoin deposits across lending protocols like Aave, Compound, and Morpho. With $21M in TVL and $5.7M in funding, Giza receives a C grade reflecting the novelty risks of AI-driven autonomous execution combined with the absence of formal security audits.

Key Risks for Giza Users

1.

AI agents make autonomous financial decisions that could result in losses during unusual market conditions or when interacting with compromised protocols

2.

No formal security audits have been reported despite the protocol managing user funds through novel session-key authorization mechanisms

3.

The protocol is relatively new (TGE May 2025) with limited track record in diverse market conditions, and its AI strategy performance is unproven through a full market cycle

Top Risk Factors

  • AI agent execution introduces novel autonomous decision-making risks where agents may execute suboptimal or harmful strategies without human oversight
  • No formal security audits reported despite managing user funds through session-key authorization and smart contract interactions
  • Multi-protocol exposure through yield optimization strategies creates cascading risk if any integrated protocol (Aave, Compound, Morpho, Moonwell) experiences an exploit
