This vault optimizes yields for Curve's TricryptoUSDT pool through Convex Finance. The Tricrypto pool is one of Curve's flagship products, enabling efficient swaps between USDT, WBTC, and WETH using Curve's specialized volatile asset AMM design.
How This Vault Works
Provide USDT, WBTC, and/or WETH to the Curve Tricrypto pool
Curve's Tricrypto pools use a different AMM design than stablecoin pools:
Crypto Pool Algorithm: Designed for volatile asset pairs
Concentrated Liquidity: Automatically adjusts around current prices
Higher Fees: Typically 0.04-0.4% swap fees to compensate for impermanent loss risk
Three Asset Composition: Balances between major crypto assets and stablecoin
Pool Assets
USDT: Tether stablecoin providing dollar-denominated value
WBTC: Wrapped Bitcoin bringing BTC exposure to Ethereum
WETH: Wrapped Ether representing native ETH
This composition allows traders to efficiently swap between the three most important crypto assets.
Fee Structure
Standard Convex fees:
16% of CRV rewards
No deposit/withdrawal fees
Tricrypto pools have higher base swap fees than stablecoin pools.
Risk Disclosures
Impermanent Loss Risk: Volatile asset pools have significant IL risk. Large price movements between USDT, WBTC, and WETH cause LP losses.
Smart Contract Risk: Exposure to Curve's crypto pool algorithm, Convex, and all underlying asset contracts.
WBTC Custody Risk: WBTC depends on BitGo custody of underlying Bitcoin.
USDT Risk: Tether's reserve management and regulatory standing.
Correlation Risk: Crypto assets can move together during market stress, but divergence between BTC and ETH causes additional IL.
Higher Volatility: This pool is significantly more volatile than stablecoin pools.
