Smart Pools

Overview:

ICHI’s automated liquidity management strategies offer a superior alternative to manual LPing. By optimizing capital deployment, maintaining long exposure, and tracking price trends intelligently, ICHI vaults create a user experience closer to staking—with higher rewards and lower maintenance.

1. Long Exposure to Deposit Asset

ICHI’s single-sided vaults allow depositors to maintain primary exposure to their preferred asset (e.g., HYPE) Volatile strategies target 80% exposure to deposit asset

Result: Hold your asset and earn yield—no need to split positions.

2. Improved Capital Efficiency for Volatile Pools

By actively concentrating liquidity within optimal price ranges, ICHI vaults significantly outperform passive or manually managed positions.

Examples:

ETH-THE pool on THENA
- Manual LP APR: ~1%
- ICHI Vault APR: ~12%
USDC-HBAR pool on SaucerSwap
- Manual LP APR: ~21%
- ICHI Vault APR: ~46%
USDC-wS on SwapX
- Manual LP APR: ~54%
- ICHI Vault APR: ~82%

Result: Vaults consistently outperform manual positions on APR allowing positions to generate 2 to 10x more yield over manual LPing

3. Ascend Strategy for LSTs

ICHI’s Ascend is built specifically for Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) like stHYPE, stETH, or LHYPE, which naturally drift upward in value vs. their base assets.

Dynamic Rebalancing: Gradually shifts liquidity as the LST appreciates, avoiding short-term volatility traps

Result: Capture rising price trends without manual adjustments or reacting to every blip = 3-4x APR vs manual positions

Bottom Line

ICHI Vault’s two core strategies provide a smarter, more profitable, and automated way to LP, especially for users looking for capital efficiency, trend capture, and long-asset exposure without impermanent loss headaches.
