Orchestrating Yield: What DeFi Should Look Like in the Multi-Chain World
summary
Agoric ships YMAX – Yield Maximizer, a cross‑chain command center that automates capital flows between Base, Arbitrum and Avalanche, creating on‑chain accounts, withdrawing, bridging (18 minute chain finality) and depositing into protocols like Beefy — collapsing a reported 30–45 minute manual workflow into a sub‑minute user action with one signature. Orchestration runs on the Agoric chain using asynchronous messages, apps pay in build, fees get burned, and the beta is live seeking early testers; postage fee is ~< $0.01.
