**ICHI vaults** are automated liquidity vaults. You deposit, and the vault manages the underlying position so you don’t have to babysit ranges manually.

#### **When to use ICHI**

* you want hands-off LPing
* you’re LPing volatile pairs but don’t want active range management
* you prefer “set-and-check” over manual adjustments

#### **Steps**

1. Open **Liquidity** and find the **ICHI vault** for your pair (where available)
2. Click into it → **Deposit**
3. Enter amount(s)
4. **Approve** tokens (first time only)
5. Confirm the deposit

#### **After**

* Check **Dashboard** to confirm the vault position is live.
* Rewards depend on whether the underlying pool is **incentivised this epoch** and how crowded it is.

#### ICHI vault tips

* **Automation reduces work, not risk:** IL still exists and vault outcomes vary.
* **Check what the vault is managing:** underlying pair + how often it adjusts matters.
* **Use vaults for “set-and-check”:** if you can’t monitor ranges, vaults often fit better.
