๐ Getting Started
Ardena Finance is a DeFi yield vault that automatically optimizes your AAVE token investments across two strategies:
- AaveV3Strategy (60%): Conservative lending for stable returns
- UniswapV3Strategy (40%): High-yield liquidity provision
1๏ธโฃ Connect Your Wallet
Click "Connect Wallet" to link your MetaMask wallet to the platform. Make sure you're on the Ethereum Sepolia testnet.
- Install MetaMask browser extension
- Switch to Sepolia testnet
- Get testnet ETH and AAVE tokens from faucets
2๏ธโฃ Get Testnet Tokens
You'll need testnet tokens to use the platform (these have no real value):
- Sepolia ETH: Use the Sepolia faucet for gas fees
- AAVE Tokens: Click "Mint AAVE Token" button to get test AAVE from Aave faucet
3๏ธโฃ Set Oracle Price (Important First Step)
โ ๏ธ Before doing any trading or manager actions, ensure the oracle price is synced with Uniswap V3:
๐ฏ Why This Matters: The oracle determines accurate asset valuations for all vault operations. If prices are outdated or incorrect, deposits, withdrawals, and rebalancing may fail or give wrong results.
- Check Price Sync: Look at the "Set Oracle Price" card - compare "From Uniswap V3" vs "From Oracle Calculation"
- If Prices Don't Match: Click "๐ Set Oracle Price" to sync the oracle with current Uniswap V3 prices
- Why It Happens: Oracle prices can become stale or incorrect due to network delays or manual updates
- When to Sync: Before deposits, withdrawals, rebalancing, or any manager actions
- Automatic Sync: In production, this will be automated by keeper bots
4๏ธโฃ Deposit AAVE Tokens
In the User Actions section:
- Enter the amount of AAVE you want to deposit
- Approve the transaction (first time only)
- Confirm the deposit transaction
- You'll receive vault shares representing your deposit
