Automatic Pools

Discover Thirdfy's automated liquidity pools powered by Ichi for effortless yield and professional management.

Quick Start (TL;DR)

What Are Automatic Pools?

Automatic Pools are Thirdfy's partnership with Ichi to provide effortless, professionally-managed liquidity provisioning. Unlike traditional pools that require paired token deposits and active management, Ichi's automated vaults let you deposit just one token and handle all the complexity behind the scenes.

Single-Token Deposits

Simplified deposits: Deposit just one token (like USDC) instead of needing to provide paired tokens. Ichi handles the rest automatically.

No Swap Costs

Zero fees: Unlike other platforms, Ichi eliminates swap costs during deposits and rebalances, maximizing your capital efficiency.

Professional Management

Set and forget: Expert algorithms continuously optimize your position, rebalance ranges, and compound rewards without any user intervention.

Maximum Rewards

Triple earning: Trading fees + TFY/xTFY emissions (when voted for) + potential LP incentives. Access to all available reward streams.

How Ichi Vaults Work

Simple automation that handles complexity for you:

Deposit One Token

Deposit any single token (USDC, ETH, TFY) - no pairing required. Ichi automatically creates optimal concentrated liquidity positions.

Automatic Management

The vault continuously rebalances ranges, compounds rewards, and optimizes your position without any action needed from you.

Integration with Thirdfy's o33 System

Automatic Pools are the backbone of Thirdfy's emissions and governance system, making them essential infrastructure rather than just another DeFi feature:

Core to TFY Emissions

Gauge Voting Target

Primary focus: All TFY/xTFY emissions flow through IchiVaultGauges. When you vote in governance, you're directing emissions to these automatic pools.

Manipulation Resistance

Security first: Using Ichi's share-seconds measurement prevents the manipulation vulnerabilities that plague time-based and simple liquidity amount approaches.

o33 Integration

Automated participation: The o33 vault automatically votes for optimal Ichi pools and compounds all earned rewards, including emissions and voting incentives.

How Emissions Flow

  1. Weekly Voting: xTFY stakers (including o33) vote to direct TFY emissions to specific IchiVaultGauges
  2. Proportional Distribution: Emissions are distributed to LPs based on their share-seconds in the voted pools
  3. Automatic Claiming: Users claim emissions via IchiVaultGauge.claimRewardsForPeriod()
  4. Compounding Options: Earned TFY can be converted to xTFY for staking or used to mint o33 for automated compounding

Three Ways to Earn

Trading Fees

Automatic: Earn fees from swaps in your liquidity range. Continuously compounded into your position without any action needed.

TFY Emissions

Community directed: Weekly TFY rewards flow to pools that receive community votes. Claim manually when available.

LP Incentives

Bonus rewards: Additional tokens offered by pool operators to attract liquidity. Varies by pool and time period.

Available Automatic Pools

Thirdfy offers several automated pool options to match different risk preferences and token holdings:

TFY Ecosystem Pools

Core pairs: TFY/USDC, TFY/ETH, xTFY/TFY pools focused on the Thirdfy ecosystem. High potential for emissions and community support.

Blue-Chip Pools

Stable pairs: ETH/USDC, USDC/USDT and other major cryptocurrency pairs. Lower volatility with steady trading volume.

High-Yield Pools

Opportunity focused: Emerging token pairs and strategic partnerships. Higher potential returns with increased risk.

How to Get Started
