Pair - Return Analysis
Simulate multiple pools that use the same pair
The Pair page elevates your analysis by allowing you to compare the same token pair across multiple pools simultaneously. Rather than evaluating pools individually, this feature lets you see how the same asset pair performs across different fee tiers, exchanges, and networks - all in one unified view. This comparative approach ensures you're selecting the optimal pool for your specific strategy.
Configuration Controls
At the top of the page, you'll configure your comparison parameters:
Exchange Selection: Choose which DEXs to include in your comparison. Leave it on "All" to see every available option, or filter to specific exchanges you trust or prefer.
Network Selection: Select the blockchain networks to include. This is particularly useful when comparing gas costs and network-specific opportunities.
Token Pair Selection: This is where you specify which token pair to analyze. The interface will then find all pools matching this pair across your selected exchanges and networks.
Calculation Timeframe (Days): Set to 14 days by default, this determines the historical period used for calculating averages and projections across all displayed pools. Adjust using the +/- buttons to match your investment horizon.
Price Range:
Min Price: The lower bound for your position simulation
Max Price: The upper bound for your position simulation
Setting a consistent range across all pools ensures an apples-to-apples comparison of potential returns.
Deposit Amount: Enter your intended investment amount ($1000 in the example). This same amount will be simulated across all pools for direct comparison.
Full Range Toggle: When enabled, simulates a full-range position across all pools, useful for comparing pools without the complexity of concentrated liquidity.
Similar Assets Toggle: This powerful feature expands your comparison to include derivative or correlated assets. For example:
Selecting ETH would also show stETH, wETH, and other ETH derivatives
Selecting USDC might include USDT, DAI, and other stablecoins This helps identify potentially better opportunities in closely related markets.
Pool Comparison Display
The page presents each matching pool as a separate card, making it easy to compare key metrics side-by-side:
Daily Fees (24h)
Monthly Returns
Yearly (APR)
Each pool displays six key metrics for comprehensive comparison:
TVL (Total Value Locked)
AVG Daily Fees
Daily Fees / TVL
AVG Daily Volume
Daily Volume / TVL
Each pool card has its own "Simulate" button, taking you to the detailed simulation page for that specific pool with your pre-configured parameters already applied.
Best Practices
Start Broad, Then Narrow: Begin with all exchanges and networks to see the full landscape, then filter down to your preferred platforms.
Consistent Range Settings: Use the same price range across all pools to ensure fair comparison. Adjust based on your risk tolerance and market outlook.
Consider Similar Assets: Always toggle this on to ensure you're not missing better opportunities in derivative markets.
Look Beyond APR: While estimated returns are important, consider:
TVL for stability and depth
Volume/TVL ratio for activity levels
Fee tier implications for different market conditions
Document Your Findings: Before clicking Simulate, note why certain pools stand out - this helps build your investment thesis.
The Pair page transforms pool selection from guesswork into data-driven decision-making, ensuring you always find the optimal venue for your liquidity provision strategy.
