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 + 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 xTFY Emissions
Gauge Voting Target
Primary focus: All 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
- Weekly Voting: xTFY stakers (including o33) vote to direct xTFY emissions to specific IchiVaultGauges
- Proportional Distribution: Emissions are distributed to LPs based on their share-seconds in the voted pools
- Automatic Claiming: Users claim emissions via
IchiVaultGauge.claimRewardsForPeriod() - Compounding Options: Earned xTFY can be staked 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.
xTFY Emissions
Community directed: Weekly xTFY 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's available pools evolve over time via governance. Here's the current status and how it may expand:
TFY Ecosystem Pools
Current: TFY/VIRTUAL vault pair. Additional TFY ecosystem pairs may be introduced through governance.
Blue-Chip Pools
Current: Blue‑chip pairs like ETH/USDC and USDC/DAI are available. Availability can change; check the liquidity page for live pools.
High-Yield Pools
Potential future: Strategic partner pairs as approved by governance. Availability and APY vary by period.
Pool Selection: Available pools may vary based on market conditions and governance decisions. Check thirdfy.com/liquidity for current options.
How to Get Started
1. Choose & Deposit
Visit thirdfy.com/liquidity, select a pool, and deposit just one token. Ichi handles everything else automatically.
2. Earn Automatically
Your position grows through automatic fee compounding, xTFY emissions (if voted for), and any LP incentives offered.
3. Claim & Optimize
Claim your xTFY emissions periodically and decide whether to stake, mint o33 for automation, or use for other purposes.
Automatic vs Manual Liquidity
Understanding when to choose automatic pools over manual concentrated liquidity positions:
Important: Currently, xTFY emissions from gauge voting are only available on Automatic Pools. Manual concentrated liquidity positions earn trading fees only, without access to community-directed emissions or the governance reward system.

✅ You want hands-off management
✅ You only have one token to deposit
✅ You want access to xTFY emissions 🔥
