How Ajna Works

References

• Ajna Protocol Whitepaper (Oct 12, 2023): https://www.ajna.finance/pdf/Ajna_Protocol_Whitepaper_10-12-2023.pdf

Bucket System

Ajna uses 7,388 price buckets (Fenwick index 1..7388; 0 is invalid for add/move).

Price mapping (quote per collateral, WAD) is:

price = 1.005^(4156 - index)

So:

• Index 4156 → price ≈ 1.0 (anchor)
• Lower index (< 4156) → higher price
• Higher index (> 4156) → lower price

Interest & Yield

• Variable APY: Based on pool utilization
• Higher utilization = Higher interest rates
• No liquidations: Novel Ajna design
• Permissionless: Anyone can create pools

LP Tokens

• Deposit quote tokens → Receive LP tokens
• LP tokens represent your share of the bucket
• LP value grows with accrued interest
• Burn LP tokens to withdraw + interest

Deployment Steps

1. Find or Create Ajna Pool

Ajna Addresses on Base:

Source: https://faqs.ajna.finance/info/deployment-addresses-and-bridges

AJNA_ERC20_FACTORY="0x214f62B5836D83f3D6c4f71F174209097B1A779C"
AJNA_ERC721_FACTORY="0xeefEC5d1Cc4bde97279d01D88eFf9e0fEe981769"
AJNA_POOL_INFO_UTILS="0x97fa9b0909C238D170C1ab3B5c728A3a45BBEcBa"
AJNA_POSITION_MANAGER="0x59710a4149A27585f1841b5783ac704a08274e64"

Check if Pool Exists:

# Check for AKITA pool
cast call $AJNA_ERC20_FACTORY \
  "deployedPools(address,address,uint256)(address)" \
  $AKITA_TOKEN \  # Collateral
  $WETH \         # Quote token
  50000000000000000  # 0.05 (5%) interest rate

If No Pool, Deploy One:

// Deploy AKITA/WETH lending pool
IAjnaPoolFactory(ajnaFactory).deployPool(
    akitaToken,  // Collateral
    weth,        // Quote token (what we lend)
    0.05e18      // 5% initial interest rate
);

2. Deploy AjnaStrategy

cd contracts

forge create AjnaStrategy \
  --rpc-url https://mainnet.base.org \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY \
  --constructor-args \
    "0xA015954E2606d08967Aee3787456bB3A86a46A42" \ # AKITA Vault
    "0x5b674196812451b7cec024fe9d22d2c0b172fa75" \ # AKITA Token
    "0x214f62B5836D83f3D6c4f71F174209097B1A779C" \ # Ajna ERC20 Factory
    "0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006" \ # WETH (quote)
    "$YOUR_ADDRESS"                                   # Owner

# Verify on Basescan
forge verify-contract \
  $DEPLOYED_ADDRESS \
  AjnaStrategy \
  --chain base \
  --constructor-args $(cast abi-encode \
    "constructor(address,address,address,address,address)" \
    "0xA015954E2606d08967Aee3787456bB3A86a46A42" \
    "0x5b674196812451b7cec024fe9d22d2c0b172fa75" \
    "0x214f62B5836D83f3D6c4f71F174209097B1A779C" \
    "0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006" \
    "$YOUR_ADDRESS")

3. Configure Strategy

# Set the Ajna pool address
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "setAjnaPool(address)" \
  $AJNA_POOL \
  --rpc-url base \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

# Initialize approvals
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "initializeApprovals()" \
  --rpc-url base \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

# (Recommended) Keep a small % of assets idle inside the strategy so withdrawals
# don't have to touch Ajna every time.
# - 0      = fully deploy (previous behavior)
# - 1000   = 10% idle buffer
# - 2000   = 20% idle buffer
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "setIdleBufferBps(uint256)" \
  1000 \
  --rpc-url base \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

# Optional: Adjust bucket index (default is 4156)
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "setBucketIndex(uint256)" \
  4156 \
  --rpc-url base \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

4. Add to Vault

# Add strategy with weight 100
cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "addStrategy(address,uint256)" \
  $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  100 \
  --rpc-url base \
  --private-key $PRIVATE_KEY

---

For 4-Way Allocation

Complete Strategy Setup:

# 1. AKITA/WETH 1% LP Strategy
AKITA_WETH_STRATEGY="0x..." # Deploy CreatorCharmStrategy

# 2. AKITA/USDC 1% LP Strategy  
AKITA_USDC_STRATEGY="0x..." # Deploy CreatorCharmStrategy

# 3. Ajna Lending Strategy
AJNA_STRATEGY="0x..."       # Deployed above

# Add all 3 strategies with equal weight
cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "addStrategy(address,uint256)" \
  $AKITA_WETH_STRATEGY 100 \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "addStrategy(address,uint256)" \
  $AKITA_USDC_STRATEGY 100 \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "addStrategy(address,uint256)" \
  $AJNA_STRATEGY 100 \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

# Set minimum idle to 12.5M (keeps 12.5M idle)
cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "setMinimumTotalIdle(uint256)" \
  12500000000000000000000000 \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

---

Testing the Integration

1. Test Deposit

# Simulate deposit
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "deposit(uint256)" \
  1000000000000000000 \
  --from $AKITA_VAULT

# Check balance
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "getTotalAssets()(uint256)"

2. Test Withdrawal

# Simulate withdrawal
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "withdraw(uint256)" \
  1000000000000000000 \
  --from $AKITA_VAULT

3. Check Yield

# Check pending yield
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "pendingYield()(uint256)"

# Harvest yield
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "harvest()" \
  --from $AKITA_VAULT

4. Check Ajna Pool Stats

# Get pool utilization
cast call $AJNA_POOL \
  "poolUtilization()(uint256)"

# Get interest rate
cast call $AJNA_POOL \
  "interestRate()(uint256)"

# Get our LP balance
cast call $AJNA_POOL \
  "lenderInfo(uint256,address)(uint256,uint256)" \
  4156 \           # Bucket index (price=1.0 anchor)
  $AJNA_STRATEGY   # Our address

---

Advanced Features

Rebalancing Between Buckets

If market conditions change, move liquidity to a different price bucket:

# Move to bucket 4000 (higher price than 1.0 anchor)
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "moveToBucket(uint256,uint256)" \
  4000 \  # New bucket index
  0 \     # Amount (0 = move all)
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

Bucket Selection Strategy

Index < 4156: higher price (more aggressive / more borrower-friendly)
Index = 4156: price ≈ 1.0 anchor
Index > 4156: lower price (more conservative / less borrower-friendly)

Default 4156 is a neutral anchor. In production, pick the bucket from a real market price (e.g. Uniswap V3 TWAP for CREATOR/USDC) and optionally apply a small safety buffer.

Monitoring

Key Metrics to Track:

# 1. Total assets in strategy
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "getTotalAssets()(uint256)"

# 2. Pending yield
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "pendingYield()(uint256)"

# 3. LP position (bucketIndex may change over time)
BUCKET=$(cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "bucketIndex()(uint256)")
cast call $AJNA_POOL "lenderInfo(uint256,address)(uint256,uint256)" $BUCKET $AJNA_STRATEGY

# 4. Pool utilization
cast call $AJNA_POOL "poolUtilization()(uint256)"

# 5. Current interest rate
cast call $AJNA_POOL "interestRate()(uint256)"

Health Checks:

# Is strategy active?
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "isActive()(bool)"

# Last harvest time
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "lastHarvest()(uint256)"

# Current bucket index
cast call $AJNA_STRATEGY "bucketIndex()(uint256)"

---

Emergency Procedures

If Something Goes Wrong:

# 1. Pause strategy
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "setActive(bool)" \
  false \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

# 2. Emergency withdraw (pull all funds)
cast send $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  "emergencyWithdraw()" \
  --from $AKITA_VAULT

# 3. Remove from vault
cast send $AKITA_VAULT \
  "removeStrategy(address)" \
  $AJNA_STRATEGY \
  --rpc-url base --private-key $PK

Gas Costs

Estimated gas for operations:

Deposit:   ~150k gas (~$0.003 at 20 gwei)
Withdraw:  ~180k gas (~$0.0036)
Harvest:   ~120k gas (~$0.0024)
Rebalance: ~200k gas (~$0.004)

Total cost for 4-way activation: ~$0.006 (plus LP strategies)

---

Security Considerations

✅ Safe:

• No liquidations in Ajna
• User controls bucket selection
• Emergency withdraw available
• Owner can pause strategy
• ReentrancyGuard on all functions

⚠️ Risks:

• Smart contract risk: Ajna protocol bugs
• Bucket risk: Wrong bucket = suboptimal yield
• Utilization risk: Low utilization = low yield
• Pool risk: New pool = less tested

🛡️ Mitigations:

• Start with small amount
• Use a market-derived bucket (e.g. Uniswap V3 TWAP for CREATOR/USDC); 4156 is the neutral anchor (price ≈ 1.0)
• Monitor pool utilization
• Can emergency withdraw anytime

---

Expected Performance

Conservative Estimates:

Pool Utilization: 50%
Base Interest Rate: 5%
Expected APY: 2.5-7.5%

With higher utilization (80%):
Expected APY: 8-15%

Comparison:

Ajna Lending:     5-15% APY
LP Fees (WETH):   20-40% APY
LP Fees (USDC):   15-30% APY
Idle:             0% APY
---
Combined (12.5M each): ~10-20% blended APY
