In the fast-paced world of meme coins, FARTCOIN is farting its way to the top, and HawkFi is harnessing its volatility for some serious liquidity plays. Launched in October 2024 on the Solana blockchain, FARTCOIN combines humor and viral culture with real trading action, boasting a price around $0.90 and massive daily volumes over $180 million CoinMarketCap. Now, HawkFi, a Solana-based LP (liquidity providing) terminal, is experimenting with this cheeky token to test high-frequency liquidity strategies that could give users an edge – or "alpha" in crypto lingo.
HawkFi, co-founded by Brady Donut (@bradydonut on X), specializes in smart LP automations on platforms like Meteora, Orca, and Raydium. Their goal? To make complex liquidity strategies accessible, helping users earn better yields without constant monitoring. In a recent X thread, Brady shared how their LP Terminal is "filled with FARTCOIN" to experiment on high-frequency liquidity and uncover alpha opportunities.
As shown in the screenshot, multiple positions in USDC-FARTCOIN pairs highlight active experiments, with balances ranging from $190 to $825. This setup allows HawkFi to quantify strategies 24/7 and simplify them for everyday users. For more details, check out their HawkFi Cook Book, a guide packed with LP recipes.
When asked why they chose the USDC pool, Brady explained it had the highest daily yield at entry – calculated as 24-hour fees divided by total value locked (TVL). That's a key metric for spotting profitable pools. Excitingly, HawkFi's homepage at hawkfi.ag is soon rolling out an intraday screener to sort pools by top fee generation in shorter timeframes, making it easier to jump on hot opportunities.
Diving deeper into the strategies, a user guessed it involved "tight range 1min swapless up only." But Brady clarified: they're using Auto-Rebalance (AR) in both directions for these tests. AR is an automation that adjusts your liquidity position as prices move, aiming for steady token growth and fee earnings. They're comparing swap (involving token exchanges) versus swapless (no exchanges, just fee focus) approaches, along with the "pingpong" strategy.
Pingpong is a classic quant tactic that profits by buying low and selling high in alternating moves, while also raking in fees through optimized dynamic liquidity market making (DLMM). Swapless rebalances, often used in high-frequency liquidity (HFL), keep things tight-range and quick – think 1-minute cycles for concentrated fee generation without full rebalances.
Brady noted that AR up-only (directional adjustments expecting price rises) might work better for wider ranges, but for FARTCOIN's volatile swings, bidirectional AR seems promising. This experimentation is all about finding what delivers the best yields in the wild world of meme tokens.
For Solana enthusiasts and meme coin degens, HawkFi's work with FARTCOIN shows how tools like this can turn fun tokens into serious income streams. Whether you're providing liquidity on Raydium DEX Screener or exploring FARTCOIN's community on X @FartCoinOfSOL, staying updated on these strategies could boost your DeFi game. Keep an eye on HawkFi for more updates – the next alpha might just be a fart away.
