Compoundr Vaults — Auto-Compounding Yield Optimizer on Cronos
Compoundr is WolfSwap's yield optimization protocol — a set-and-forget DeFi vault system that automatically compounds your LP farming rewards every 30 minutes. Deposit your LP tokens, and Compoundr handles the rest: harvesting, swapping, re-adding liquidity, and reinvesting — maximizing your yield without any manual action.
Think of it as your personal yield farmer that never sleeps. Similar to platforms like Beefy Finance, Compoundr turns simple LP farming into optimized, compounding yield strategies across Cronos and other supported chains.
How Compoundr Works
The compounding process runs automatically every 30 minutes:
- Harvest — Collects pending farming rewards from the underlying DEX farm (VVS Finance, Ebisus Bay, etc.)
- Swap — Converts harvested reward tokens back into the two tokens of your LP pair
- Re-add liquidity — Pairs the swapped tokens and adds them back to the liquidity pool, creating more LP tokens
- Reinvest — Deposits the new LP tokens back into the farm, compounding your position
This cycle repeats 48 times per day. Each compound increases your total LP position, which then earns even more rewards on the next cycle — your yield earns yield.
Depositing into a Vault
- Browse vaults — Visit the Compoundr page and filter by chain, sort by APY or TVL
- Get LP tokens — If you don't have the required LP tokens, use the "Add Liquidity" link on the vault page to create them on the underlying DEX
- Approve — Approve the vault to spend your LP tokens (exact amount only — WolfSwap never requests unlimited approvals)
- Deposit — Enter the amount and confirm. You receive Proof Tokens that represent your share of the vault
- Earn — Your position grows automatically as the vault compounds every 30 minutes
Withdrawing
- Select the vault and switch to the Withdraw tab
- Enter the amount of LP tokens you want to withdraw
- Confirm the transaction — you receive your original LP tokens plus all compounded earnings
Fees
Compoundr keeps fees simple and transparent:
- Deposit fee: 0%
- Withdrawal fee: 0%
- Performance fee: A small percentage of harvested rewards (varies by vault)
The performance fee is already deducted from the APY shown. What you see is what you earn — no hidden charges.
APY vs APR
Understanding the difference is key to evaluating vault performance:
- APR (Annual Percentage Rate) — The base farming reward rate from the underlying DEX, without compounding
- APY (Annual Percentage Yield) — The effective return after auto-compounding every 30 minutes
Because Compoundr reinvests your rewards 48 times per day, the APY is always higher than the APR. The more frequent the compounding, the greater the difference.
APY Calculator
Each vault includes an interactive APY Calculator where you can:
- Enter a custom deposit amount
- Set a time period (days, months, or years)
- See estimated earnings in USD
- Compare APY vs APR on a visual chart
What You See on Each Vault
Every vault page provides full transparency:
- APY / Daily APY — Annual and daily yield percentages
- Strategy TVL — Total value locked in the vault across all depositors
- Risk level — Rated 1–5 based on the underlying strategy and assets
- Last compounded — How long ago the most recent auto-compound ran
- Next compound countdown — Minutes and seconds until the next cycle
- Your position — Deposited amount, earned amount, and per-token breakdown
- Historical chart — APY/APR over time so you can track performance trends
- LP composition — Pie chart showing the exact token breakdown of your LP position
Supported Platforms & Chains
Compoundr aggregates farming opportunities from multiple DEXs across supported chains:
Cronos
- VVS Finance — The largest DEX on Cronos
- Ebisus Bay — NFT marketplace and DEX
- H2 Finance — DeFi protocol on Cronos
- Marswap — Community DEX
Other Chains
- zkCronos — Cronos zkEVM farms
- Polygon, Base, Blast, Linea, Abstract, Ethereum — As vaults become available
New vaults are added regularly as WolfSwap expands to more platforms and chains.
Vault Risk Levels
Each vault is assigned a risk level from 1 to 5:
- Level 1 — Blue-chip pairs with deep liquidity (e.g., WCRO-USDC on VVS)
- Level 2–3 — Established pairs with moderate liquidity
- Level 4–5 — Newer or smaller pairs with higher yield but more risk
Risk is based on the underlying assets, liquidity depth, farm contract age, and platform reputation. Higher risk vaults may offer higher APY but come with greater exposure to impermanent loss and smart contract risk.
Why Use Compoundr Instead of Manual Farming?
| Manual Farming | Compoundr | |
|---|---|---|
| Compounding | You harvest and reinvest manually | Auto-compounds every 30 minutes |
| Gas costs | Pay gas on every harvest + swap + add liquidity | Gas costs shared across all vault depositors |
| Time | Requires daily attention | Set and forget |
| Efficiency | Compounds once per day at best | Compounds 48 times per day |
| APY impact | Lower effective yield | Higher effective yield from frequent compounding |
The gas savings alone make Compoundr worthwhile — instead of paying gas for every manual compound, the cost is split across all depositors in the vault.
Tips for Vault Users
- Compare APY, not APR — APY reflects what you actually earn after compounding
- Check the risk level — Higher APY often means higher risk. Make sure you're comfortable with the pair
- Understand impermanent loss — LP positions are subject to IL when token prices diverge. This applies whether you farm manually or use Compoundr
- Monitor your position — Use the vault detail page to track your earnings and per-token breakdown over time
- Look at TVL — Higher TVL generally indicates more trust and deeper liquidity in the strategy
