Risk profile

• Smart contract risk

  Funds are deposited into a smart contract. A bug or exploit in the contract could lead to total loss. Audits reduce, but do not eliminate, this risk. Check the protocol page for audit history.

• Impermanent loss

  This pool holds multiple assets, so price divergence between them can reduce your USD value below what holding the assets separately would yield.

• Yield variability

  Current APY is 39.49%; 30-day mean is 29.37%. Yields can change as TVL and incentive emissions change.

• DefiLlama yield prediction

  DefiLlama's model classifies this pool's yield as "Down" with 92% confidence based on historical patterns.
