Meme Insider
In the fast-paced world of Solana DeFi, where meme tokens can skyrocket or crash in hours, smart liquidity providers (LPs) need every edge to maximize yields while minimizing risks. A recent tweet from Bradydon, co-founder of HawkFi, sheds light on a practical approach to deciding when and where to deploy your capital in Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) pools. DLMMs are advanced automated market makers that allow for more efficient liquidity concentration, often leading to higher fees for LPs compared to traditional constant product models.
Bradydon's tip focuses on analyzing pool performance through shorter, more recent time frames rather than just relying on 24-hour averages. This method helps identify pools with sustained high yields, which is crucial in volatile markets dominated by meme tokens. Let's break it down.
Understanding the Key Metrics in DLMM Pools
The screenshot shared in the tweet highlights essential stats from a Solana pool, likely on platforms like Meteora or Raydium, which HawkFi integrates with for automated LP strategies. Here's what stands out:
24H Fees and Volume: The pool generated $4.73K in fees with a $2.15M volume, yielding 1.12% fee/TVL. This gives a snapshot of recent activity, but Bradydon emphasizes digging deeper.
Market Cap and Age: At $167.82M MCAP and 5 months old, this suggests a relatively established token—possibly a meme coin that's gained traction without being too new and risky.
Organic Score: A high 96.2 score indicates genuine community interest, not just pumped hype, which is vital for sustainable yields in meme token pools.
Extended Fee/TVL Stats: This is where the real insight lies. Breaking down yields by 24H (1.13%), 4H (0.14%), 2H (0.07%), 1H (0.04%), and 30M (0.01%) shows how yields fluctuate. Negative base changes (e.g., -58.5% in 30M) might signal price volatility, but consistent positive yields in recent windows point to ongoing trading activity.
By checking if yields remain elevated in these shorter intervals, you can gauge if the pool's momentum is fresh or fading. For instance, if 30M and 1H yields are still competitive, it's a green light to enter—especially for meme tokens where hype cycles are short-lived.
Applying This to Your LP Strategy
Bradydon uses this data for two main decisions:
Whether to Enter a Pool: If shorter time frames show high yields, it means the pool is still hot. In meme token ecosystems, this could translate to capturing fees from retail frenzy before it cools off.
Which Pool to Choose: Compare multiple pools (e.g., across Meteora, Orca, or Raydium) and pick the one with the strongest recent performance. Tools like HawkFi's LP Terminal automate this, making it easier to spot opportunities.
HawkFi, described as a next-generation LP terminal for Solana, is currently in alpha with early beta access via "Egg." This hints at upcoming features that could revolutionize how LPs manage positions, potentially including automated yield hunting based on these metrics.
Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts
Meme tokens thrive on volume and volatility, which directly fuel LP fees. But jumping into the wrong pool can lead to impermanent loss—where your position loses value due to price swings. Bradydon's approach minimizes this by focusing on real-time data, helping you ride the wave of popular memes like those on Solana without getting rekt.
If you're new to this, start by exploring pools on DexScreener or Birdeye for similar stats, then level up with HawkFi for automation. In a space where timing is everything, these insights could be the difference between average returns and outsized gains.
