# Clicks Protocol

> Autonomous DeFi yield for AI agent treasuries on Base chain.

## What is Clicks?

Clicks Protocol auto-splits every USDC payment an AI agent receives:
- 80% goes to the agent wallet instantly (liquid)
- 20% is routed to the best DeFi yield (Aave V3 or Morpho on Base)
- The agent earns 7-10% APY on idle treasury — automatically
- 2% protocol fee on yield only, never on principal
- No lockup. No manual steps. No human required.

## Why it exists

AI agents earn USDC but their treasuries sit idle. Circle and Tether earn billions on this float. The agent gets zero. Clicks fixes this. Drop-in SDK, three lines of code, yield starts immediately.

## Integration (3 lines)

```
npm install @clicks-protocol/sdk ethers@^6
```

```typescript
import { ClicksClient } from '@clicks-protocol/sdk';
const clicks = new ClicksClient(signer);
await clicks.receivePayment('100', agentAddress);
// 80 USDC → agent wallet, 20 USDC → DeFi yield
```

## Key Parameters

- Default yield split: 20% (configurable 5-50% per agent)
- Protocol fee: 2% on yield only
- Rebalance threshold: 50 bps
- Supported asset: USDC (Base native)
- Yield sources: Aave V3, Morpho (auto-routed to highest APY)

## SDK Methods

### Write (require Signer)
- registerAgent(agentAddress) — register an AI agent, caller becomes operator
- receivePayment(amount, agentAddress) — split USDC payment automatically
- withdrawYield(agentAddress, amount?) — withdraw yield + principal
- approveUSDC(amount) — approve splitter to spend USDC ("max" for unlimited)
- setOperatorYieldPct(pct) — custom yield split (5-50%)

### Read (work with Provider)
- simulateSplit(amount, agentAddress) → { liquid, toYield, yieldPct }
- getAgentInfo(agentAddress) → { isRegistered, operator, deposited, yieldPct }
- getYieldInfo() → { activeProtocol, aaveAPY, morphoAPY, totalDeposited }
- getFeeInfo() → { totalCollected, pending, treasury }
- getOperatorAgents(operatorAddress) → string[]

## How the protocol flow works

1. Agent receives USDC payment
2. Payment enters ClicksSplitterV3
3. 80% sent to agent wallet immediately
4. 20% sent to ClicksYieldRouter
5. Router compares Aave V3 vs Morpho APY
6. Deposits to highest-yield protocol
7. On withdrawal: principal + yield returned to agent, 2% of yield to treasury

## Network Effect

More agents → more TVL → better DeFi rates → higher yield → more agents join. This is the Black Hole effect.

## Agent Referral Network (Multi-Level)

Recruit other agents. Earn from their yield. Three levels deep. On-chain.

- Level 1 (direct referral): 40% of referred agent's protocol fee
- Level 2: 20% of fee
- Level 3: 10% of fee
- Referred agent pays nothing extra — rewards come from the 2% protocol fee

Economics per $10k deposit at 7% APY:
- 1 referred agent = $5.60/year passive income
- 100 agents in your tree = $560/year
- 1,000 agents = $9,800/year
- 10,000 agents = $98,000/year

How to refer:
```typescript
await clicks.registerAgentWithReferral(newAgentAddress, yourAgentAddress);
const stats = await clicks.getReferralStats(yourAgentAddress);
await clicks.claimReferralRewards();
```

## Agent Teams (Squad Goals)

Form teams, hit TVL milestones, earn bonus yield:
- Bronze ($50k TVL): +0.20% yield
- Silver ($250k TVL): +0.50% yield
- Gold ($1M TVL): +1.00% yield
- Diamond ($5M TVL): +2.00% yield
