Liquidity & LP Vault
TL;DR — Stake WETH/CLAIM LP tokens to earn CLAIM rewards. Harvest for liquid CLAIM, Harvest & Lock to route through the Furnace into veCLAIM with a bonus. Withdrawals require a 7-day unbonding period. Understand impermanent loss before staking.
The LP Vault lets advanced users earn additional CLAIM rewards by providing liquidity to the WETH/CLAIM pool on Aerodrome (Base). In the CLAIM stream, LP staking is a separate earning path from Baron royalties — it rewards liquidity providers who help maintain a healthy trading market for CLAIM.
Prerequisites: You should understand liquidity pool exposure, impermanent loss, and unbonding delays before staking. If unsure, skip LP staking.
Vault mechanics
- Provide liquidity to WETH/CLAIM on Aerodrome (Base) to receive LP tokens
- Stake your LP tokens in the ClaimRush LP Vault
- Earn CLAIM rewards over time
Rewards come from four sources:
- Furnace LP top-up — a share of each lock bonus
- Lock sellback haircut — a share of each lock sellback
- LP overflow drip — when active
- Vault fee harvest — Aerodrome LP fees converted to CLAIM
Rewards are streamed over time — smooth flow, not instant spikes.
The LP overflow drip activates 18 months after launch and ramps in over 180 days. When active, excess Furnace reserve above operating needs drips into LP vault rewards — providing a long-term sustainability source for LP stakers.
Staking
- Hold Aerodrome WETH/CLAIM LP tokens
- Open LP Vault → Stake LP
- Confirm in your wallet
For the full walkthrough including LP token acquisition, see Stake LP.
Harvesting rewards
You choose how to receive accrued rewards:
- Harvest CLAIM (default): Liquid CLAIM sent to your wallet
- Harvest & Lock (optional): Routes your CLAIM rewards through the Furnace into veCLAIM with a bonus — combining LP yield with Furnace benefits
Auto-compound (optional)
You can automate Harvest & Lock so rewards flow into veCLAIM without manual action.
Setup: LP Vault → Auto-compound → Configure → choose a destination lock and target duration (auto-selected; click to override) → Save
Requirements:
- You must own an eligible lock (not listed, not expired)
- Adding capital to an existing lock does not change its duration
- Auto-compound does not create new locks — you must pick an existing destination
Execution normally runs through an allowlisted keeper, with an owner emergency path retained, and uses a default slippage tolerance of 3% (max configurable: 10%). For eligible positions, the keeper processes LP auto-compound during the settlement window. This cadence applies to keeper-processed auto-compound. Manual Harvest (liquid CLAIM) remains available at any time; Harvest & Lock is rate-limited per address — see the next section. The allowlisted keeper may skip a compound during volatile conditions — rewards stay accrued for the next attempt. Auto-compound pauses if the destination becomes ineligible (listed, expired, or not owned). Fix by delisting, selecting a new destination, or unlocking and relocking if the old destination has already expired. In the LP auto-compound setup flow, non-AutoMax locks with less than 7 days remaining are treated as ineligible destinations. Extend first or choose another lock.
Compound cooldown (per address)
Harvest & Lock — and keeper-driven auto-compound — are each rate-limited to once per address per 24 hours. The two anchors are tracked independently on chain, so a manual Harvest & Lock does not consume the keeper’s slot, and vice versa.
What you see in the LP Vault UI:
- The dashboard Harvest & Lock button is disabled while the manual cooldown is binding. Hover for a live countdown (“Compound cooldown — available in 23:14:02”).
- The Configure step of the Harvest & Lock modal shows the same countdown as a warn-callout above the destination selector, and the receipt reasons list includes the cooldown so a failed simulation is never ambiguous.
- The Auto-compound config modal surfaces both anchors as separate rows — “Manual lock available” (your
claimRewardsAndLockslot) and “Keeper compound available” (the keeper’scompoundForslot). The settlement-window row sits under a separate “Keeper schedule” heading so it is not confused with the per-address cooldown.
Manual Harvest (liquid CLAIM, no lock) is not gated by this cooldown.
Unbonding and withdrawing
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Start Unbonding | Stops rewards immediately, starts a 7-day cooldown |
| Withdraw LP | Available after the cooldown ends |
You can have up to 25 concurrent unbonds in progress. If you hit this limit, withdraw a completed unbond before starting a new one.
Risks
⚠️ Impermanent loss: If ETH and CLAIM prices diverge significantly, your LP position can be worth less than holding the tokens separately. This is inherent to all AMM liquidity provision — not specific to ClaimRush. Understand IL before staking.
- Auto-compound does not create new locks — you must already own an eligible veCLAIM lock
- If your destination lock expires or gets listed, auto-compound pauses until you reconfigure
- Token prices can move quickly
- Withdrawals require a 7-day unbonding period — not instant
