Liquidity pool simulator
Pick a real pool from the list and set capital, time frame and a price scenario. The simulator adds up fees at the current base rate, incentives and impermanent loss, and compares the result with simply holding.
How we simulate
Pools and rates come from DefiLlama: base APR (fees paid by traders), reward APR and the 1-day and 7-day averages. Period income is capital × APR × days / 365, without compounding.
Impermanent loss uses the same math as the IL calculator: full range or concentrated with the range you choose, applied to the price move of the pair's first token against the second.
Limitations
In a concentrated pool, your share of fees depends on your range and time in range. The simulator uses the pool's average rate without a concentration multiplier, so it may understate narrow ranges that stay in range and overstate ones that leave it.
Incentives change and end. Past rates do not guarantee future ones, and nothing here is investment advice.
Frequently asked questions
+Where does the pool data come from?
From DefiLlama, which aggregates on-chain protocol data. The list covers the most relevant pools by TVL on Solana, Ethereum and L2 networks.
+Why use base APR instead of total APR?
Base APR comes from trading fees and tends to be steadier. Rewards are paid in protocol tokens, change often and may end, so they are shown separately.
+Does the simulator compound?
No. It uses simple interest, as if fees were not reinvested. Reinvesting slightly raises the result over long periods.
+How should I pick a price range?
Narrow ranges earn more per dollar while in range, but leave it more often and carry higher IL. Try different price scenarios to see the effect.
+Can I track my position after entering?
Yes. The LPulse Monitor detects the position from your wallet address and shows range, fees and real yield, with an alert when price nears the edge.
