We are excited to partner with Stream Finance, the leading delta neutral yield generation protocol that enhances and simplifies DeFi. Through this collaboration, users on Stream’s clearing platform can utilize Talus Smart Agents to generate yield strategies. Subsequently, Talus Agents can then be deployed to execute these strategies, managing risk on behalf of the user and automatically exiting positions when conditions cross a certain risk threshold or match predetermined parameters.
TL;DR Together, Talus and Stream Finance are partnering to bring AI to DeFi, helping users create more customizable, balanced and profitable yield strategies with AI Agents.
Simplifying DeFi for Users
The current state of DeFi is riddled with complexity. Users need to have an in-depth understanding of each protocol they are using and actively manage positions to ensure they are receiving the highest risk-adjusted returns. This is not only a time-consuming and challenging task, but also expensive considering the compounding gas costs for users.
Stream Finance exists to abstract away this complexity, operating vaults where users can deposit capital to get exposure to balanced strategies. These strategies are effectively market making perpetual products. This results in two types of returns: arbitraging the funding rate and cost of capital difference, and also the maker fee that is received for taking the other side of the perpetual trade. This system enables a high return for users.
Impact of AI Agent Enhanced DeFi
Stream currently has one strategy for three asset vaults: USDC, ETH, and BTC. While these are profitable, there is limited asset selection and customizability for users who want exposure to other creative strategies. This is where Talus comes in.
Talus is creating the AI Smart Agent Hub where Smart Agents can live, interact, and transact on-chain. With the use of the Move programming language, developers will be able to create Smart Agents that can generate profitable DeFi strategies. These strategies can be implemented on Stream to provide users with infinite customizability.
The strategy generation workflow is as follows:
-
A user on Stream taps into Talus Smart Agent Hub to create strategy-generating Smart Agent.
-
The user marks preferences as desired, such as type of asset or length of time until they wish to withdraw.
-
The Smart Agent then recommends a yield generation strategy based on user preferences.
Once these strategies are created, trading Agents can be deployed to execute these strategies on behalf of the user. These agents can monitor key risk parameters and reallocate assets accordingly to protect capital. Talus will be able to revolutionize the entire trading workflow, democratizing the accessibility to new financial primitives.
The strategy execution flow is as follows:
-
The user plugs back into Talus Smart Agent Hub to create trading smart agent
-
Trading agent is deployed to execute strategy and monitor asset positions on Stream
-
Smart agent analyzes risk factors such as loan to value, liquidity, and price to evaluate current risk levels of position
-
If risk is deemed to be too high, then the smart agent exits the position
-
Smart agent continues to monitor asset and redeploys once risk conditions are met, automating the capital deployment process
Looking Ahead
Together, Talus and Stream are providing best-in-class DeFi experiences to users who want exposure to alternative yield strategies. Smart agents on Talus will enable users on Stream to manage exposure and rebalance portfolios, optimizing risk-adjusted returns across assets. Ultimately, agent-enhanced DeFi will play a pivotal role in bringing in new users who want to engage with novel financial primitives.

About Stream Finance
Stream is a decentralized derivatives clearing house aiming to solve for the currently fragmented clearing house environment. In traditional finances, there are stock (DTC), options (OCC) and futures (CME) clearing houses. Exchanges rest on top of these clearing houses and focus on optimizing for speed and order flow, matching what orders they can on their own platform while all clearing / collateral happens at the clearing house level. This is an incredibly efficient system, but it is reliant on trust. In DeFi, this system cannot work because inherently the system is meant to be trustless. Stream changes this by using restaked assets to secure Stream’s solvency and security, ensuring proper management.
