# Managed Pools

## Market-Tracking Curves <a href="#market-tracking-curves" id="market-tracking-curves"></a>

One use case for [Evolving Proteus](/how-shell-works/proteus-amm-engine.md#history-of-proteus) is the creation of market tracking pools. These pools are designed to be updated regularly to align with the trading range of the paired assets.

One method for adjusting the curve is manual control by a delegate, similar to [Arrakis](https://www.arrakis.finance/). Take, for instance, if Ether's price increases by 50% in USDC terms. The delegate could then adjust the liquidity concentration to the new price point. With this, the curve only needs to be broad enough to encapsulate the majority of the trading range until the next adjustment, not months of price changes.

This market-tracking can also be programmed to occur automatically, with or without a human in the loop. For example, the pool could be designed to follow the time-weighted average price of a token, similar to [Maverick](https://www.mav.xyz/), or draw from a source such as an oracle.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.shellprotocol.io/getting-started/integrations/shell-native-primitives/managed-pools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
