Vault Types
AlphaFi has 4 vault categories.
1. CLMM Liquidity Vaults
Auto-compounding, auto-rebalancing positions on top of concentrated liquidity DEXs.
What is concentrated liquidity?
Old-style AMMs like Uniswap V2 spread your liquidity across every possible price, from $0 to infinity. Most of it never gets traded against. Capital efficiency is poor.
Concentrated Liquidity (CLMM) DEXs like Cetus and Bluefin let you focus your liquidity into a specific price range. The same capital earns way more in fees — often 10-100x more — while price stays inside that range.
The catch: when price moves outside your range, you stop earning entirely.
Why CLMM vaults need active management
Managing a CLMM position by hand is a lot of work. You'd have to:
Reset the range every time price exits it
Pay gas for each reset
Manually claim rewards
Swap rewards back into the LP pair
Re-deposit the swapped tokens
AlphaFi's CLMM vaults do all this for you on-chain, multiple times a day. You deposit once.
Target Range & Rebalance Trigger
Each CLMM vault has two settings:
Target Range — How wide the LP position is around the current price. Wider = less fees per dollar, but fewer rebalances. Narrower = more fees, more rebalances.
Rebalance Trigger — How far price has to move before the vault resets. Triggering too often burns gas. Triggering too late means earning nothing while out of range.
These are tuned per pair. Stable pairs (USDC-USDT) use very tight ranges. Volatile pairs (SUI-USDC, WETH-USDC) use wider ones.
Underlying integrations
Cetus — Vaults for USDC-USDT, USDC-SUI, WETH-USDC, USDY-USDC, ALPHA-SUI, and more
Bluefin — Includes the popular SUI-USDC pool
Momentum — Newer integration, expanding coverage
The live list is on the Strategies page.
2. Lending Vaults
Single-asset vaults that supply your token to a lending protocol and auto-compound the interest.
Good for users who want yield without taking on pair exposure or impermanent loss.
How lending vaults work
The vault supplies your asset to an underlying lending protocol. The protocol pays interest in the same asset, plus reward tokens like ALPHA, stSUI etc. The strategy then:
Claims the reward tokens
Swaps them into your deposit asset
Re-supplies them
Your principal stays in the underlying lending protocol the whole time. Withdraw whenever.
3. Stablecoin Vaults
These focus on USDC, USDT, USDY, and similar.
Two flavors:
Stable-stable LP vaults (like USDC-USDT on Cetus) — Almost no impermanent loss since both target $1. Yield comes from trading fees and rewards.
Single-asset lending vaults — Pure lending yield, no IL.
These are the lowest-risk strategies on AlphaFi and the most popular by TVL.
4. ALPHA Vault
Stake ALPHA, earn ~20% APR paid in SUI every week.
Reward token: SUI
Cadence: weekly (every Sunday)
Lock-in period: 35 days
Funded by 50% of all protocol fees. See the ALPHA section for the full breakdown.
Vault Parameters
TVL — Higher TVL is more battle-tested, but yield gets diluted across more capital.
Composition — Which asset(s) the vault holds. Tells you your price exposure.
Underlying Protocol — Which DEX or lending protocol your funds end up in. You inherit its smart contract risk too.
Price Range & Rebalance Trigger (CLMM only) — How wide the position is and how often it resets.
24h / 7d / 30d APY — The 7d and 30d numbers are more reliable. A 24h reading can swing on a single rebalance.
