Arrowfarm
Summary
Ketju does not approve Arrowfarm under the class rule for liquidity pools: every Arrowfarm vault holds two tokens, and the docs say automatic range management does not remove impermanent loss. Arrowfarm runs vaults on Robinhood Chain that place deposits in concentrated-liquidity pools on Uniswap and reinvest the fees. On 2026-10-16 the DefiLlama yield feed listed nine vaults with about $517,000 in them, at rates from 69% to more than 3,000%. Ketju has also not approved Robinhood Chain. We made no finding against Arrowfarm itself.
- Arrowfarm ships a product without two-token pool exposure that merits its own review
Ketju checks this memo every night and opens a review if its venues or files show a warning or a cited document changes. The first confirmation is due 2027-01-16.
Research
How it works
A depositor puts in one token or two. If the deposit is one token, the vault swaps part of it into the second token and charges a 1% swap fee. The vault then holds a concentrated position in a pool on a platform “such as Uniswap.” It collects fees and reinvests them when the gain is larger than the gas cost. When the price moves toward the edge of the range, the automation can move the range. It does so only after it checks the price against a recent time-weighted price. The depositor gets a receipt token. The docs state that the position can end up wholly in one token and stop earning, and that fees may not offset the loss.
Fees
Arrowfarm charges 0.2% on deposit and 9% of yield, with no withdrawal fee. All protocol fees buy and burn the ARROWFARM token. The docs say Arrowfarm can change the fee schedule at its discretion.
Size and holdings
The rates in the feed come mostly from rewards paid in small tokens. The ARROWFARM and USDG vault holds $99,000 and shows 1,582%, all of it reward. The WETH and AI vault shows 3,265%.
Who controls it
DefiLlama lists no audit, and the docs pages we read name none. The docs say the automation is “designed to be” non-custodial. They list these risks: smart-contract bugs, automation that is delayed or misconfigured, price manipulation of the safety check, and total loss. The docs do not name who holds the admin or automation keys, and we did not read the contracts.
Withdrawals
A depositor redeems the receipt token through the Arrowfarm page. The depositor receives whatever mix of tokens the position holds, which may differ from the deposit. The docs warn that a holder who sells or sends the receipt token can lose the right to redeem. Single vaults hold $14,000 to $118,000, so a large withdrawal would move the price of the pool it trades through. A holder who leaves Robinhood Chain must also use the chain’s own bridge. Ketju counts that bridge as a limit on who controls a withdrawal.
Class rule
The class rule for liquidity pools covers every Arrowfarm vault. Ketju will review Arrowfarm again only if it ships a product that does not hold two tokens. Growth in the vaults would not change the verdict.

The asset and the chain
This memo covers the protocol. A position also holds an asset and settles on a chain. Whichever of the three holds the most power over the position decides who can freeze it. These tables describe control and do not judge quality.
| Chain | Verdict | Freeze | What it can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain | Not approved | Mixed control | one sequencer and two permissioned validators sit beneath an emergency council and transaction filter that can defeat the normal force-inclusion backstop. |
