DeFi

who here understands how the pump.fun / raydium liquidity pools work? i mean really understand, like the math of it

feels like there are unexplored opportunities with structuring the LP and would love to know the mechanism that governs all this trading

anyone here looked into this stuff?

tbh i would even take general explanations on uniswap lp as well, always have been curious about the math and the various ways to structure/earn fees from pools so the token is more controlled

tangential but you might wanna check out @flaunch and how they use uniV4 to improve on this

i was gonna tag bryce but ik they're busy af rn lol

i would assume clanker team is quite adept in this

things i'm interested in:
- what is the math that governs the raydium lp and how does it correlate with market cap?
- why do we see massive spikes on the chart and are there clever ways to reduce that kind of volatility
- clanker deploys a 1% pool and takes the fees, then distributes them. as far as i know pump doesn't, but is there a way to still get fee revenue after launching somehow? pumpkin.fun seems interesting but can't tell if that's a layer on top of pump or a separate thing like clanker
- how does one use concentrated liquidity from: 1. to optimize making fee revenue by LPing, and 2. increase liquidity to enable smooth and less volatile trading, especially to entice whales
- what are the benefits of something like aerodrome and where do those yields come from? is there an equivalent mechanism on solana?
- what are the risks of lp'ing into a pool? i know impermanent loss but are there other common risks people don't think about?

probs more but off the top of my head these are the main ones

What do you want to know? I've gone down this rabbit hole a bit and happy to share links and resources.
