Please see [Security](/v1-archive/contracts/security.md) for associated risks. The Balancer Managed pool is deployed by the Aera Vault in the `constructor` function. The following additional constraints are applied to the pool: * Tokens are hardcoded upon deployment and assets cannot be added/removed * The Balancer Pool Token shares cannot be traded and are owned exclusively by the Aera Vault * No liquidity is ever removed or added, any withdrawals/deposits are handled by rebinding the vault. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.aera.finance/v1-archive/concepts/aera-vault/balancer-managed-pool.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
