Investment Potential

Zap Pilot is a non-custodial DeFi autopilot that helps users build stable, high-yield portfolios across chains in just a few clicks. Powered by AA Wallet and risk-aware allocation logic, we address key pain points in crypto investing.

🚩 Problem We Solve​

❌ DeFi is too complex​

From bridging to staking, DeFi requires users to manage assets manually across protocols and chains — it’s inaccessible to most investors.

❌ Smart allocation is hard​

High yields exist, but users don’t know how to evaluate risks or optimize across pools. Most portfolios are under-diversified and poorly rebalanced.

❌ Trust is scarce in DeFi​

Traditional yield aggregators require custody, exposing users to rug pulls. Trustless tools with good UX are rare.

✨ Zap Pilot's Unique Edge​

✅ High Yields, Simplified​

  • Curated strategies with dynamic yield monitoring
  • Cross-chain diversification into top-performing audited pools
  • APYs above 15% made stable and sustainable

✅ Full Non-Custodial Control​

  • Users keep full control via AA Wallet (no tokens, no lock-ups)
  • Supports social login, cold wallets, and will add 2FA & tx preview in 2025

✅ Diversified Risk Management​

  • Eliminates single-point-of-failure via token & pool-level diversification
  • Actively removes low-TVL or unaudited pools
  • Composability with on-chain DeFi maintained

📈 Scalability Potential​

  • Tech side: As usage grows, cross-chain infra + automation makes the service cheaper to operate per user
  • Finance side: Like a BBB-rated bond aggregator, we maintain higher APYs than traditional “safe” DeFi tools
  • Regulatory side: As global rules mature, we’re ready to expand toward regulated markets

🎯 Target Users​

1. DeFi Power Users​

  • Juggle assets across GMX, Lido, Pendle, etc.
  • Want a 1-click solution with full asset control

2. Stablecoin Yield Farmers​

  • Seek low-volatility, capital-preserving growth
  • Need auto-diversified, high-yield stablecoin strategies

🧱 Barriers to Entry​

✅ Short-Term​

  • DeFi yield is no longer hype → fewer competitors
  • Omni-chain + Smart EOA wallet integration is technically hard

✅ Long-Term​

  • Future moat: regulatory compliance + user trust
  • Brand strength will matter more than codebase

🏁 Competitive Landscape​

SegmentCompetitors

IndirectAave, Pendle, Lido, CEX platforms

Zap Pilot is unique in being a non-custodial, Smart EOA wallet-native, high-yield aggregator focused on middle-tier (“BBB”) risk-return pools.

💼 Business Model​

  • 1% entry fee only
  • No ongoing or per-transaction fees
  • Core user LTV ~$60 (assuming $3K TVL)
  • Breakeven: if CAC < $60 → profitable from Year 1

🔐 Risk Management​

  • Closed-source backend + strict pool curation
  • Avoid unaudited/low-liquidity pools
  • Seed funding will support professional security audits & stress testing

💡 Behavioral Insight​

People fear losses more than they value gains.

Zap Pilot isn't just about yield — it's about delivering a sense of security. We design around stability and confidence, not just raw numbers.
