# Loyal

> Make your idle cash smarter

Loyal is self-custodial agentic finance on Solana. Agents make DeFi safer and simpler to use, and you keep your keys and the final say. Open source and governed by MetaDAO futarchy, with the treasury in a DAO-controlled multisig and protocol fees flowing back to it.

Loyal is a self-custodial AI agent platform that automates DeFi workflows and provide additional safety while keeping users in control of their private keys. Agents simplify complex onchain transactions by handling repetitive tasks, reducing friction and risk for users who want to maintain full custody and decision-making authority. The protocol is open source and governed through community mechanisms, with fees reinvested into development and ecosystem support.

## Products

- [Loyal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/loyal): Loyal is a privacy-focused AI agent platform that supports private conversations and automated onchain workflows.

(AI Agent, Live, Main Product)

## Assets

- [Loyal (LOYAL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/loyal): LOYAL is an ownership coin and the governance token of the Loyal protocol. Governance is conducted through MetaDAO futarchy, in which proposals are decided by prediction markets rather than by token-weighted voting, and the proceeds of the initial coin offering are held in a multisig treasury controlled by that DAO. 

Fees generated by the protocol are directed back to this treasury, and the DAO determines how those funds are used, including options such as funding the core team allowance, buying back and burning LOYAL, deepening liquidity, or financing grants. (Governance)
