Management

The management of a TWMM pool is performed by a designated role within the smart contract, often referred to as the Strategy Manager. This role is responsible for the strategic direction and risk parameterization of the pool. The core functionalities are detailed below.

  • Setting Target Weights: This is the most fundamental management action, as it defines the pool's core investment strategy and equilibrium state. By adjusting the target weights of the assets, the manager dictates the ideal composition of the portfolio. For example, a conservative strategy might assign high weights to stablecoins, while a growth-focused strategy could give more weight to volatile assets. This control allows the manager to actively respond to market trends, de-risk the portfolio, or optimize for specific outcomes, directly influencing the pool's overall risk/return profile.

  • Assigning Price Oracles: The security and efficiency of the TWMM are critically dependent on the quality of its price data. The manager is responsible for selecting and assigning a secure, reliable, and low-latency price feed for every asset in the pool (e.g., from sources like Chainlink, Redstone, or Uniswap V3). The choice of oracle is a crucial risk management decision, as a low-quality or manipulable price feed could expose the pool to significant arbitrage exploits.

  • Configuring Fee and Cashback Parameters: This function allows the manager to fine-tune the economic incentives that keep the pool balanced. The manager can set the specific parameters that govern the fee curve, such as the Deviation Fee Multiplier (how aggressively fees scale with imbalance) and the Maximum Cashback rate. Calibrating these parameters allows the manager to strike a precise balance between protecting liquidity providers from deviation, generating protocol revenue, and ensuring arbitrageurs are sufficiently incentivized to perform corrective trades.

  • Manually Funding Cashback Reserves This: is a tool for proactive rebalancing. The manager can directly deposit funds into the cashback reserve for a specific asset, creating a large, immediate reward for traders who help push that asset's share toward its target. This is particularly useful for speeding up the initial balancing of a newly added asset, correcting a large deviation caused by a sudden market shock, or facilitating the orderly withdrawal of an asset being phased out of the pool.
