🔒 WHAT IMMUTABLE POOLS REALLY MEAN ON STONFI
“Immutable” sounds absolute in DeFi, but the useful question is what exactly cannot change.
STONfi pool contracts are immutable, meaning their deployed core code cannot simply be replaced. But it does not mean the pool is frozen.
🧩 FIXED CODE, CHANGING STATE
Every swap changes reserves. Liquidity deposits and withdrawals change LP supply. Fees and pool status can also change through mechanisms already built into the deployed contract.
Immutability refers to contract code, not every value stored by it.
🛡 WHAT IMMUTABILITY REMOVES
An immutable pool cannot have its implementation simply replaced with arbitrary new logic after deployment.
For an LP, the code governing that existing pool remains the code that was deployed.
But immutable code can still contain bugs. It does not remove token risk, impermanent loss, liquidity risk or changing market conditions.
⚙ THE ROUTER IS DIFFERENT
STONfi separates the immutable Pool from the upgradeable Router.
Router upgrades are subject to a seven-day timelock. This gives users advance notice and time to evaluate a change before new code becomes active.
🔍 THE USEFUL QUESTION
Instead of asking only “Is it immutable?”, ask which contracts can change, which parameters are configurable, who controls those changes and how much time users have to react.
For STONfi, the precise model is: pool code stays fixed, pool state evolves, certain parameters can change through predefined rules, and the Router can evolve under a timelocked upgrade process.
It is a security model worth understanding before providing liquidity or trading.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
