I just passively claimed $400 worth of $HAM (1:1 w/ $TN100x) on hamcaster.com. Will be restaking it for good measure.

something that i can't wrap my head around is the liquidity. why is it so low?

Currently deploying. Unofficial head platypus of /lp 

i bet my head that this is a reason why people that don't know about ham don't buy it more. where do i even get the info for the aerodrome pool? dexscreener is where all people go, and 14k liquidity is weird and looks like a red flag, doesn't it? (maybe im a bad trader -not a trader- and don't understand)

You're looking at the uniswap pool. Look at the aerodrome pool.
