We are thrilled to announce the integration between PancakeSwap and Aperture Finance to automate LP management. With this integration, users can leverage AI-powered intent-based LP management tools to optimize liquidity provision on PancakeSwap v3 pools across Ethereum and BNB Chain. Users can effortlessly automate their PancakeSwap liquidity positions (LPs), optimizing capital efficiency and minimizing the complexities associated with manual management. To celebrate the launch, there will be an APTR airdrop for PancakeSwap users; read on to learn more.

What Does This Integration Mean for PancakeSwap and Aperture Finance?

Through this integration, users can seamlessly add liquidity to PancakeSwap v3 liquidity pools on Ethereum and BNB Chain through Aperture, with the added benefit of managing their LPs through Aperture's advanced intent-based LP management tools. Likewise, PancakeSwap users can effortlessly manage their existing v3 liquidity positions with Aperture.

The INTENTional Campaign: Participate in the Airdrop from Aperture

To celebrate this integration, Aperture is offering a healthy bootstrapping of points for PancakeSwap users!

• Any address that has LPed on BNB Chain or Ethereum PancakeSwap in the last 12 months (after 11 April 2023, ~00:00 UTC) +4,200 points

• Any address that has performed at least 1 swap on BNB Chain or Ethereum PancakeSwap in the last 12 months (after 11 April 2023, ~00:00 UTC) +2,100 points

• Snapshot was taken on 11 April 2024, around 00:00 UTC

In addition to this initial bootstrapping of points, all actions or transactions for LPs or swappers on PancakeSwap via the Aperture Dapp will receive a 3X boost on points compared to the same actions on other DEXes. For example - zapping into an LP via Aperture on PancakeSwap will generate 3X points compared to the same action on Uniswap.

The INTENTional campaign allows participants to qualify for a total airdrop pool of 42M $APTR, equal to 4.2% of the total supply. Check out more details about the INTENTional campaign here.

How to get started with Aperture Finance

For existing PancakeSwap v3 LP holders: Connect your wallet to Aperture Finance by selecting “PancakeSwap'' and the desired chain (Ethereum/ BNB Chain). Then, navigate to the "Liquidity Positions" section to view and manage your LPs with Aperture’s tools.

For a new LP through Aperture Finance: Connect your wallet to Aperture Finance. Select PancakeSwap as a DEX and your desired chain (Ethereum or BNB Chain) to add liquidity on. Follow the prompts to add your LP with advanced tools. Check out this guide for broad principles on how to add LP in v3 pools.

Aperture Finance offers a range of advanced features to streamline LP management:

1. Automated Position Rebalance: Set triggers based on price, pool ratio, or time to rebalance LP positions automatically.

Taking an example for reference (as shown in the screenshot below with an example)

You can configure your rebalance parameters by selecting from three triggers: price, ratio, or time, and define your desired strategy. For example:

• Price: Rebalance when the token is above or below a specific price point (e.g., rebalance when BNB price is above/below $600).

• Ratio: Rebalance when a particular ratio is achieved (e.g., rebalance when the BNB-USDT ratio is 50:50).

• Time: Rebalance on a scheduled date (e.g., rebalance my BNB-USDT LP on April 20th).

Additionally, you can choose a "time buffer" for price or ratio-based triggers to ensure they only activate after a set period. For example, if you want to rebalance when BNB reaches $600 after the next 24 hours, you can set a 24-hour time buffer. Please note that all set triggers will automatically expire after 90 days.

You can also establish a gas fee ceiling by specifying the maximum gas fee you're willing to pay, either as a percentage of your position or in dollar terms. For instance, if you anticipate high gas fees at the time of rebalancing position, you can set a gas fee ceiling to trigger rebalancing only when the fee is below a certain threshold, such as 10% of your position.

Please note that currently, Aperture only supports LP automation when the LP (represented by an NFT) is in the user's own wallet, not when it is staked in a farm.

2. Automated Position Closure: Automatically remove LPs positions based on predefined criteria such as price, pool ratio, or specific dates. For example, if BNB reaches $600, you can withdraw all your liquidity and return the assets to your wallet or at a specified date, such as April 24th.

Similar to the previous feature of Automated Position Rebalance, you can set up triggers for position closure based on pricing, pool ratio, time, and gas ceiling cost.

3. Auto-Compounding of Fees: Reinvest fee earnings into LPs at set intervals, maximizing compound returns with optimized gas efficiency. For example, you can auto-compound your BNB-USDT LP fees whenever the total unclaimed fee revenue exceeds $100 (50%) and gas costs below $5 (10%).

To enable this feature, click on your position and locate the Auto-Compound button in the “Unclaimed Fees” section. Toggle to the Auto-Compound button and turn it on, then enter the minimum fee amount and maximum gas amount in dollars or as a percentage of your position. Finally, click the “Auto” button to confirm your settings.

Please note that Aperture will automatically compound your position at the optimal interval based on fees earned versus gas costs for rebalancing. Additionally, Aperture ensures that 100% of your fees are reinvested back into your position, with swaps performed through the same liquidity pool.

4. Revenue Earning Limit Orders: Create revenue-earning limit orders by providing single-sided liquidity at out-of-range prices, earning trading fees when the underlying asset's price crosses your specified price. For example, you can set a limit order for your BNB, selling it when the price hits 900 USDT to earn 900 USDT plus the trading fee.

To use this feature, navigate to the “Limit Orders” section and select PancakeSwap. Choose the asset you want to sell and the asset you want to buy. Specify the price you want to sell, and set a gas ceiling in dollars or as a percentage of the order. In our example below, you would sell BNB when the price reaches 900 USDT, then swap it to USDT and get 900 USDT and fees. Click 'set limit order' to complete the process.

Please note that you must approve PancakeSwap's use of these tokens if you haven't already. After approval, Aperture will automatically close the position once your limit order has hit and the selling asset has been fully converted to your desired buying asset.

Ushering a new era of liquidity management on PancakeSwap:

Now, you can effortlessly rebalance, closeout, or auto-compound your liquidity positions based on price, ratio triggers, or predetermined time frames without constantly monitoring the markets. Manage all your PancakeSwap LPs with just a few clicks—let Aperture Finance do the heavy lifting for you!
