If you've been diving into liquidity pools on Solana, you might have heard of Meteora's curve strategy. But did you know it's not just for stablecoins? A recent thread from @findocere on X breaks down how this approach, dubbed the "Burger Curve Strategy," can supercharge your yields on sideways token pairs. Think of it as flipping a juicy burger – thick in the middle, rewarding when prices bounce back to your set range.
Understanding the Burger Curve Strategy
The curve strategy on Meteora concentrates liquidity in a specific price range, much like a burger with a thick patty in the center. This setup maximizes fees from trades that happen within that range. @findocere highlights that it's especially effective for pairs where prices are ranging sideways, not wildly volatile or trending in one direction.
In the example, the HUMA-SOL pair shines because $HUMA has been stable between $0.020 and $0.025, while SOL hovers around $135-$140. This stability creates the perfect "chop" for the strategy to print yields – up to 2% in 24 hours, and it works over multiple days.
Why call it a burger? The liquidity distribution looks like a burger: heavy concentration in the middle bins where most trading volume occurs, flanked by thinner layers on the sides.
Why HUMA-SOL Fits Perfectly
@findocere points out that $HUMA from Huma Finance is relatively stable compared to the broader market. Paired with SOL's current sideways movement, it's ideal for multi-day liquidity provision. Plus, on claiming days for $HUMA rewards, volume surges, boosting fees without the price deviating too far.
To verify, check the liquidity distribution on Meteora's DLMM pool for HUMA-SOL: HMBtgxCCc8Tukkm668qbxQUbjUVEAP37b9oAFfWffCUy. You'll see the concentrated bins capturing that high-volume middle ground.
Step-by-Step Guide to Implementing the Strategy
Ready to try it? Here's how @findocere does it:
Prepare Your Tokens: Get equal values of $HUMA and SOL. Swap if needed via Jupiter on Meteora by clicking the JUP logo.
Set Up the Pool: Head to the HUMA-SOL pool on Meteora. Select the curve strategy and set a range of about ±20%. This wide range accounts for potential volatility on claiming days, but the price bounces back due to Huma's yield mechanics.
- Deposit and Wait: After depositing, let the pool work its magic. In @findocere's case, it yielded 2% in just 24 hours.
- Monitor and Optimize: Keep an eye on price action. This strategy thrives on sideways movement, so withdraw if things start trending.
Beyond Stablecoins: Expanding Your DeFi Toolkit
Traditionally, curve strategies are used for stablecoin pairs to minimize impermanent loss. But as @findocere shows, applying it to sideways meme or utility tokens like $HUMA can amplify gains, especially during high-volume events like reward distributions.

This approach is a game-changer for blockchain practitioners looking to enhance their yields without constant monitoring. If you're farming on Solana, give the Burger Curve a flip – it might just be your next happy meal in DeFi.
