# Rotate

> Following the yield when it migrates.

Yield is not loyal. Emissions programs get re-voted, incentives migrate between venues, new pools launch rich and decay fast. Rotation is the agent moving liquidity from a fading pool to a better one — the discipline that separates farming from bag-holding.

## How a rotation happens

1. **The screen flags it.** The [universe screen](/strategies/how-pools-are-chosen) continuously re-ranks every eligible pool. When a vault's current pool falls materially behind an alternative — persistently, not on a single noisy reading — it becomes a rotation candidate.
2. **The economics are checked.** Rotating costs real money: unwinding, swapping, re-minting. The agent moves only when the sustained yield difference justifies the switching cost. The scoring model and its thresholds are closed source.
3. **The move executes.** Positions unwind in the old pool, assets convert as needed (per-swap loss caps apply, always), and the [planting](/agent/plant) machinery opens positions at the new venue. Rotation swaps have their own tighter on-chain cap, separate from ordinary conversions.

Each rotation appears in your [statement](/vault/statements): what was left, what was entered, and the transactions.

## What rotation never does

* **Leave the allowlist.** Rotations can only target pools on your vault's on-chain allowlist — the same contract-level boundary as everything else the agent does.
* **Change your strategy.** Bluechip rotates among bluechip pools; your BYO asset picks are never overridden. Rotation changes *where* your assets work, not *what* you hold.
* **Chase noise.** A pool that spiked for an afternoon is not a target. Persistence requirements are built into the scoring precisely because incentive programs whipsaw.
