# ALM Vaults

ALM (Automated Liquidity Management) Vaults on Blackhole automate the deployment and rebalancing of liquidity positions through integration of third-party solutions, such as Steer Protocol's [Smart Pools](https://docs.steer.finance/flagship-apps/smart-pools/) and Gamma Labs' [LP Vaults](https://docs.gamma.xyz/gamma/lp-vaults/introduction). Users deposit tokens into non-custodial vaults that handle concentrated liquidity, providing optimized returns without manual intervention. ALM Vaults are designed to automatically adjust liquidity position ranges to maintain optimal price coverage, maximize emission rewards and minimize impermanent loss risk, enabling passive, hands-off yield generation for depositors.

### ALM Indicator

On the Liquidity page, the pools that support an ALM vault, are marked with an ALM indicator icon:
