Overview
Rebalancing is the process of adjusting vault allocations to maintain target strategy weights, optimize returns, and manage risk. This can be done automatically or manually by curators.Rebalancing Triggers

Rebalancing Process
Automated Rebalancing
For vaults with auto-rebalancing enabled:1
Monitor
System continuously monitors allocation vs targets
2
Detect
Drift or trigger condition identified
3
Calculate
Determine trades needed to restore targets
4
Validate
Ensure trades comply with vault rules
5
Execute
Submit transactions (gasless)
6
Log
Record rebalancing event
Manual Rebalancing
Curators can manually trigger rebalancing:Rebalancing Strategies
Maturity Laddering
Maintain exposure across multiple maturities:- Regular liquidity events
- Reduces rollover risk
- Smooths rate exposure
Rate Optimization
Shift allocation based on rate opportunities:- Stay within concentration limits
- Consider liquidity needs
- Account for expected rate changes
Risk-Based Rebalancing
Adjust for changing risk conditions:Example: Full Rebalancing Cycle
Starting State (Day 0):Costs of Rebalancing
Gas Costs
- Protocol covers gas for automated rebalancing
- No cost to vault depositors
Opportunity Cost
- Exiting positions early may sacrifice yield
- Moving to lower-rate positions reduces returns
Slippage
- Large rebalancing in thin markets may have slippage
- Partial rebalancing over time minimizes impact

Does rebalancing cost me money?
Does rebalancing cost me money?
Gas is covered by the protocol. Opportunity costs (from early exit or rate changes) may exist but curators optimize for overall returns.
How often should rebalancing happen?
How often should rebalancing happen?
Depends on strategy. Fixed Rate Focus vaults may rebalance monthly at maturities. Yield Optimized may rebalance weekly or when large rate opportunities emerge.
Can I see upcoming rebalancing?
Can I see upcoming rebalancing?
Yes. The vault dashboard shows scheduled maturity events and pending rebalancing actions.
What if the curator doesn't rebalance?
What if the curator doesn't rebalance?
Automated rebalancing handles routine events. If a curator is inactive for extended periods, governance may intervene.
