Aerodrome Autopilot.
Managed-liquidity vaults for Aerodrome Slipstream pools.
Live Base vaults
Browse without a wallet; connect on Base to deposit, zap, claim, redeem.
LP notes
- Concentrated liquidity — earns in range, idles out of range.
- Impermanent loss — LP value can trail holding. Reports ending USD and drawdown, not just APR.
- Rewards — emissions stream as per-share claimable AERO, never compounded into principal.
- Stake mode — 3 non-blue-chip pairs auto-flip staked↔unstaked on the fee/emission ratio; blue-chips stay staked.
- Safety — skipped rebalances are expected, not failures.
- Exit — redeem direct from the vault; no keeper needed.
RFP fit
Mapped to the questionnaire, with live vaults and evidence-backed claims separated from planned work.
Live vault state
Shares, price, caps, range, rewards, withdraw preview — read from contracts.
One vault per pool
Single-chain, pool-specific. No pooled cross-chain share.
No emissions compounding
AERO/xAERO pass through as claimable, not into principal.
Aerodrome-only path
Deposits, zaps, and rebalances stay on Aerodrome.
Risk visible
Range, IL, skipped rebalances, abort reasons, keeper-free redeem.
Operating partner
Keepers, reporting, incident response, LP education, UX feedback.
How Sickle works
vfat.io today is a non-custodial position manager, not a pooled vault: each user deploys their own smart account (a "Sickle") that holds only their positions and runs automation to their settings. Funds are never commingled and the user keeps custody throughout — a self-ALM.
Per-user, non-commingled
Each user's Sickle is a non-upgradeable proxy holding only their positions; only approved strategies drive it, and the user keeps custody throughout.
Automation to taste
Users enable harvest / compound / rebalance per their own on-chain settings — customising the strategy instead of accepting a vault's lowest common denominator.
Live since Dec 2023
All-time peak $115M TVL, ~10,000 users (9,000 active), ~6% of Aerodrome and ~5% of Velodrome TVL.
The Autopilot vaults
The proposed product is a separate pooled-vault design, built on the same primitives. Each vault owns a single Sickle and one Aerodrome position; LPs deposit and hold transferable ERC-20 vault shares, not a personal Sickle.
One Sickle per vault
The vault owns the Sickle and one position per pool — a separate Base system with a dedicated, near-instant automation loop.
LPs hold vault shares
Deposit mints transferable ERC-20 shares; balances and price/share read directly from the contract — no opaque relayer, no partner API in the accounting path.
Keeper-independent exit
Withdraw is a direct vault redeem, never dependent on a keeper. Plus new auto-deposit (reinvest dust) and auto-stake/unstake — both implemented.
Footprint
Current Sickle position-manager figures — not Autopilot AUM.
