Hey there, meme coin enthusiasts! If you've been keeping an eye on the wild world of decentralized finance (DeFi), you’ve probably heard about the latest buzz around liquidity pools (LPs) and how they’re evolving with automation. A recent tweet from Bradydon at HawkFi.ag on July 8, 2025, at 00:38 UTC, gives us a front-row seat to this exciting development. Let’s break it down and see what it means for your crypto portfolio!

The Big Wins: Orca and Meteora LP Performance

Bradydon shared some impressive results from an experiment with the USELESS token, a popular meme coin on the Solana blockchain. By putting 1 SOL into liquidity pools on both Orca and Meteora, and using HawkFi’s automated rebalancing and autocompounding features, the returns are turning heads:

• Orca USELESS LP: +57.2%
• Meteora USELESS LP: +51.7%

That’s right—over a short period, these automated strategies turned a single SOL into significantly more, with Orca edging out Meteora by a small margin. The attached chart shows the price action over the past 24 hours, highlighting the volatility and the "your price range" zones where these LPs were active.

What’s Automated Rebalancing All About?

If you’re new to this, don’t worry—let’s simplify it. Traditionally, managing a liquidity pool means manually adjusting your position as token prices fluctuate. This can be a hassle, requiring constant monitoring and trades. Automated rebalancing, however, uses smart contracts to adjust your pool position automatically, keeping it optimized for profit. In this case, HawkFi’s “up-only” and “stop loss” features ensured the LPs stayed in profitable ranges without the usual manual grind—pretty cool, right?

This approach is a game-changer for meme coins, which are known for their wild price swings. By letting the system handle the heavy lifting, you can sit back and watch your yields grow, as Bradydon’s tweet humorously points out: “not painfully manual withdraws/swaps/deposits 🤡.”

Why Meme Coins and LPs Are a Hot Combo

Meme coins like USELESS thrive on community hype and speculative trading, which can lead to high volatility. Liquidity pools allow you to earn fees by providing tokens to these markets, but the key is staying ahead of the price swings. Tools like Orca’s concentrated liquidity and Meteora’s dynamic AMM pools (check out their docs on Meteora’s site) make this easier by offering flexible strategies. Adding automation on top? That’s like putting turbo boosters on your DeFi rocket!

What This Means for You

So, should you jump into LPing with meme coins? It depends on your risk tolerance. The +57.2% and +51.7% gains are enticing, but meme coins are still a gamble. The automation reduces some effort, but the underlying volatility remains. If you’re intrigued, start small, maybe with 1 SOL like Bradydon did, and use platforms like HawkFi to test the waters.
