# Core Components

Stratos Lab's architecture is built upon three interconnected core components that enable its AI-driven cross-chain yield optimization:

#### A. Yield Optimization Engine

The Yield Optimization Engine acts as a continuous allocator, dynamically rebalancing assets across various DeFi opportunities, including liquidity pools (LPs), liquid staking protocols, lending markets, and cross-chain arbitrage. It employs transformer-based forecasting and reinforcement-learning-style logic to predict which pools will offer the highest yields over a given interval. By automating reinvestments and swaps, this engine is designed to capture short-term opportunities faster than any human can.

AI agents are adept at determining the most profitable pools for staking or farming tokens, dynamically switching strategies to compound returns and adjusting liquidity parameters to maximize fee income while minimizing impermanent loss.1 Reinforcement learning models, such as Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), are particularly effective for optimizing liquidity provision in Automated Market Maker (AMM) models by dynamically adjusting liquidity positions to balance fee maximization and impermanent loss mitigation.5 Automated rebalancing systems continuously monitor liquidity pools, making real-time adjustments to asset distributions to ensure pools remain balanced and responsive to market conditions, thereby reducing slippage and optimizing capital utilization.6

#### B. Risk Intelligence Layer

The Risk Intelligence Layer is a real-time monitoring system that profiles both protocol and market risks. It ingests on-chain data, price feeds, and protocol metrics to identify and flag potential dangers such as impermanent loss, liquidation risk, rug-pulls, or market crashes. AI anomaly-detection models, also transformer-based, continuously compare current signals to normal patterns, assigning risk scores. When predefined thresholds are breached, smart triggers automatically rebalance or exit positions to protect user assets.

AI agents are integrated into DeFi protocols to identify vulnerabilities and detect anomalies with greater speed and accuracy than manual methods, covering smart contract auditing and real-time transaction monitoring.7 They excel at discerning anomalous patterns—such as unusually large trades, sudden activity spikes, or the emergence of new wallets—which could signal hacks, rug pulls, or other malicious activities, flagging them in real-time.8 For liquidation prediction, AI analyzes on-chain data like Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios, collateral prices, and transaction volumes to identify under-collateralized positions and predict "fire-sale" risks.9 Impermanent loss mitigation strategies include intelligent selection of low-volatility liquidity pools, utilization of stablecoin pools, dynamic hedging, and diversification across multiple liquidity pools.11

#### C. Automation Dashboard

The Automation Dashboard serves as a secure front-end where users define their strategies. Farmers can set parameters such as target APY, maximum slippage, and risk tolerance using plain language. An NLP-enabled interface translates these preferences into executable vault rules. Behind the scenes, a strategy registry maps each vault’s goals to the underlying AI logic. This "set & forget" dashboard eliminates the need for users to code or constantly monitor prices, as the vault enforces their specified constraints on-chain.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms can analyze extensive text, identify patterns, and generate structured outputs.13 This capability allows for the creation of systems where a user's natural language input, such as "I want a low-risk, stablecoin-focused yield strategy," can be processed by NLP to configure specific vault parameters or select predefined strategies from a registry.15 This bridges the gap between human language and executable blockchain logic, enabling seamless communication without requiring users to possess specialized programming knowledge or understand cryptic command lines.18
