# Pool Management

It serves as the main interface for managing **active liquidity allocations** and preparing **upcoming pool deployments**, ensuring smooth yield continuity across maturities.

**This section enables curators to:**

* View and manage all active pool allocations for a given MetaVault.
* Add or remove pools from their whitelisted market set.
* Review pending pool activations or settlements before liquidity becomes live.
* Plan reallocation and rollover operations to maintain consistent yield exposure.

{% hint style="info" %}
New pools need to be created via the public Spectra App: <https://app.spectra.finance/pools/create>
{% endhint %}

#### Key Components

**1. Active Pools**

<figure><img src="/files/oDHdK3deSBHwZdoDBUb4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Displays all currently deployed and active pools for the selected MetaVault.\
Each entry includes:

* **Protocol and market pair** (e.g., Aave, Euler, IPOR)
* **APY** representing the active yield rate for that pool
* **Allocated value** and share of total vault liquidity
* **Maturity date** for the fixed-term position
* **Manage button** leading to detailed configuration and rebalancing controls

> Active pools collectively define the MetaVault’s real-time market exposure and yield profile.

{% hint style="info" %}
The MetaVault APY represents a **weighted average** of all active pool APYs, factoring in each pool’s **allocation weight** within the vault.
{% endhint %}

2. **Pending Pools**

<figure><img src="/files/3qBr8e8AQe77zOOtlX2x" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Lists pools that are **pending inclusion** into the MetaVault, currently subject to a **predefined timelock** before activation. This ensures operational security and gives the Guardian layer time to review or revoke any potentially harmful configurations.

Each pending pool displays:

* **Pool and underlying protocol** details
* **Live pool APY**
* **Timelock status and activation timestamp**
* **Maturity date**
* **Cancel** action to withdraw pool from the MetaVault setup before inclusion takes place
