4.4 - ICHI pools (Automated)

ICHI vaults are automated liquidity vaults designed to manage liquidity positions for you. You deposit into a vault, and it handles the position management so you don’t have to babysit ranges manually.

Think of it as: automated LPing built for early-stage liquidity environments.

Filter pools on the liquidity page by clicking the 'Automated' tab:

What you earn?

LP rewards come from NEST emissions when the vault’s underlying pool is incentivised for the epoch.

What to know before depositing

Automation doesn’t remove risk:

• Impermanent loss still exists

• Vault performance varies with volatility and market conditions

• There’s additional vault/contract risk versus manual LPing

When ICHI makes sense

• You want hands-off liquidity provisioning

• You want to LP volatile pairs without managing ranges

• You prefer simpler execution and monitoring vs manual CLAMM management
