# Velodrome in the ITP Stack

Velodrome is a key execution and yield layer for ITP products on Optimism.

## Why it matters for Infinite Trading

* Deep LP markets for ITP-aligned pairs
* Native gauge rewards that can be harvested and compounded
* Low-friction operational environment for automated vault upkeep

## Velodrome auto-compounder model

Current ITP operations include daily harvest/compound flows across multiple Velodrome pools.

The process is straightforward:

1. harvest rewards
2. swap into LP components
3. add liquidity
4. restake
5. distribute configured incentive path

## Product implications for users

* less manual reward management
* more consistent compounding cadence
* cleaner UX for LP holders who want automation

## Impact on ITP ecosystem operations

As more TVL moves through ITP-connected Velodrome products, the ITP ecosystem gets:

* broader token utility across active products
* stronger operational fit for automation users
* repeatable launch patterns for additional strategy vaults

## Supported pool set and expansion path

ITP’s current Velodrome integration includes a multi-pool deployment path (e.g. ITP/VELO, ITP/DHT, ITP/wstETH, ITP/OP, ITP/WBTC, ITP/USDC) with scheduled compounding operations.

As this set grows, users get broader strategy choice while staying inside one consistent product architecture.
