Company profile
researched Aug 2026ICHI provides automated liquidity management for decentralized finance, converting single-token deposits into liquidity positions intended to generate yield while reducing the risks normally associated with providing liquidity on automated market makers. The protocol operates a set of vaults accessible through a web application in which users connect a wallet and select a vault on a supported network.
The protocol's stated use cases span several categories of participants: liquidity rebalancing for automated market makers, scalability support for Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks, price stability for token projects, activation of idle tokens held in DAO treasuries, and capital deployment for asset managers. Related tooling surfaced in the application includes a branded dollar treasury, vault metrics, minting, bridging, and an $ALLY asset, alongside governance and documentation resources.
ICHI's smart contracts have been reviewed by external security firms, with the company citing audits or verification from Quantstamp, Solidified, Certik, Pashov Audit Group, Bail Security and FYEO.
Business model
ICHI offers automated liquidity strategies delivered through on-chain vaults that users deposit into directly from a connected wallet, with the protocol deploying and rebalancing that liquidity across supported automated market makers and networks.
