In the fast-paced world of Solana's DeFi scene, where meme tokens thrive on high liquidity and quick trades, a recent tweet from Bradydon, co-founder of HawkFi, has caught the attention of many. He highlights how the classic SOL-USDC pools are "heating up," signaling a potential uptick in activity that could benefit traders and liquidity providers alike.

The accompanying stats paint a clear picture: over the last 24 hours, the extended fee-to-TVL (Total Value Locked) ratio sits at 0.73%, breaking down to about 0.03% per hour. For shorter time frames, like the past 4 hours, it's at 0.15% or 0.04% hourly, showing a positive change of +25.3% compared to base levels. TVL refers to the total amount of assets locked in these pools, a key metric for gauging a protocol's health and attractiveness.

Volume-wise, the pools have seen a whopping $251.96 million in total trading activity over 24 hours, averaging $10.5 million per hour. This ramps up in shorter periods, with the last 4 hours hitting $44.73 million at $11.18 million hourly, up 6.51%. These numbers indicate growing momentum, which is music to the ears of meme token enthusiasts who rely on robust base pairs like SOL-USDC for seamless swaps and lower slippage.

Bradydon recommends two presets from HawkFi, a Solana-based LP (Liquidity Provider) terminal designed for high-frequency automations:

• MCU (Multiday Cook Up)​: This is a tight-range autorebalance strategy focused on upward movements. It's ideal if you're looking to capitalize on steady, one-directional price action without constant monitoring.

• HFL (High Frequency Liquidity)​: Here, you widen the range for multiday "ping pong" – that's trader lingo for price oscillating back and forth. It offers higher risk-reward (r/r) potential, suiting those comfortable with volatility.

He suggests HFL for bolder plays or MCU for safer, consistent gains. HawkFi's tools automate liquidity management, making it easier for users to provide liquidity without the hassle of manual adjustments, which is crucial in Solana's meme-driven markets where trends can flip in hours.

Why does this matter for meme tokens? Strong SOL-USDC pools underpin the entire ecosystem. Higher volumes and fees mean better rewards for LPs, attracting more capital and improving overall liquidity. This, in turn, supports emerging memes by enabling smoother launches and trades on platforms like Raydium or Jupiter, where many Solana memes get their start.

If you're diving into Solana DeFi or hunting the next big meme, keeping an eye on these base pairs is essential. Tools like HawkFi can give you an edge, turning passive liquidity provision into a strategic play.
