Unlock Smarter DeFi: AI Vaults, Risk-Adjusted Yield & Builder Spotlights

Dear Partners,
AI agents are levelling up—from assistants to autonomous operators. Workday just launched seven industry-specific AI agents. Microsoft enhanced Copilot with GPT-4o and memory. The agent economy is taking shape.

At NODO, we’re already building in that direction. Our AI Vaults on Sui autonomously manage yield strategies, reacting in real time to market changes—no manual rebalancing, no guesswork.

Market Summary

Workday adds seven new AI agents to its cloud platform

• Here’s what you need to know about Workday’s AI agent rollout:
  Workday has unveiled a suite of new AI agents to automate HR, legal, and finance tasks. From drafting contracts to auto-filling invoices and handling employee queries, these agents aim to cut manual work across departments. Powered by its massive business dataset, Workday is enhancing productivity at scale. 

• NODO’s Commentary:
  Workday’s rollout shows how enterprise AI agents are maturing into specialized, data-rich co-pilots. The real opportunity lies in decentralizing that intelligence, turning AI agents into on-chain, tokenized labor that automates business ops while unlocking yield for creators and contributors.

Microsoft 365 Copilot just got a major upgrade with GPT-4o image generation and specialized AI agents

• Here’s what you need to know about Microsoft 365 Copilot Wave 2:
  Microsoft's latest update to 365 Copilot introduces GPT-4o-powered image generation, smarter search via Copilot Memory, and specialized AI agents like Analyst and Researcher. With new Notebooks, a refined UI, and contextual data recall, Copilot gets more personal and powerful.

• NODO’s Commentary:
  Microsoft’s Copilot Wave 2 signals a future where productivity AI isn’t just reactive—it’s proactive and personalized. As agents gain memory and reasoning, the leap to autonomous decision-making in workstreams is near. For DeFi and SocialFi, agent memory could soon power persistent, adaptive financial bots.

What Is Risk-Adjusted Yield in DeFi?

Not all DeFi yields are created equal. Sure, everyone loves a high APY. But smart investors ask:

What kind of risk did I take to get this return? We have tools like the Sharpe and Sortino ratios in traditional finance to help answer that. In DeFi, it’s trickier. Risks evolve fast, smart contracts stack, liquidity shifts, and market shocks ripple through entire ecosystems in minutes.

That’s why NODO’s AI vaults take a different approach. We don’t just chase yield, we evaluate it. Every strategy is assessed for volatility, liquidity, and protocol-level risk. So you’re not just getting a number, you’re getting context.

Sometimes, a 10% return with low drawdown is worth more than a 15% return that could vanish overnight. In DeFi, earning yield is easy, but earning it wisely is the real edge.

NODO Event Recap:

On May 10th, we hosted the Lagos Sui Foundation Meetup at Yaba, Lagos State — and what a turnout! We had 70+ amazing attendees join us for an evening of insights, networking, and everything Sui.

From builders to blockchain enthusiasts, the energy in the room was electric. Thank you to everyone who showed up, asked questions, and contributed to meaningful conversations about the Sui ecosystem.

The energy in the room proves that Nigeria is ready to build — and we’re just getting started.

Special shoutout to Sui Foundation for the support and to Abdullah Ige (Marketing Operation Lead, NODO) for leading the charge.

Let’s keep building. Let’s keep connecting.
