How It Works
Understanding PoolDeFi — your real-time liquidity position monitor
What is PoolDeFi?
PoolDeFi is a monitoring and analysis tool built for real DeFi investors who provide concentrated liquidity on decentralized exchanges. Unlike protocol dashboards that display inflated or momentary APR figures, PoolDeFi tracks your actual pool performance over time using on-chain data collected every 2 hours.
The system reads uncollected fees directly from smart contracts across multiple blockchains, records historical snapshots, and calculates real yield metrics. This gives you an honest picture of what your liquidity positions are actually earning — not what a protocol hopes to advertise.
Who Is It For?
SERIOUS LP INVESTORS
If you allocate capital to concentrated liquidity pools on Uniswap, Aerodrome, or Trader Joe, and need reliable performance data rather than protocol-displayed estimates.
RISK-AWARE PARTICIPANTS
Investors who want to understand impermanent loss exposure, simulate worst-case scenarios, and compare real APR across pools before committing capital.
INCOME-FOCUSED STRATEGIES
Those who treat LP positions as income-generating instruments and need to track whether their monthly targets are being met with actual, verified on-chain data.
MULTI-CHAIN OPERATORS
Investors managing positions across Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB, and Monad who need a unified dashboard to compare performance across networks.
The Problem We Solve
WHAT PROTOCOLS SHOW YOU
- ✗Momentary APR based on the last few minutes of trading
- ✗No historical tracking — you can't see trends
- ✗APR inflated by temporary volume spikes
- ✗No way to compare pools across protocols or chains
WHAT POOLDEFI GIVES YOU
- ✓Real APR calculated from on-chain fee data over days and weeks
- ✓Snapshots every 2 hours showing actual fee accumulation
- ✓Delta and Dynamic Delta to separate real yield from price noise
- ✓Unified view across all major protocols and networks
How Data Collection Works
SMART CONTRACT READ
Every 2 hours, the system calls the collect()function on each pool's NonfungiblePositionManager contract via eth_call. This is a read-only simulation that returns uncollected fees without executing a transaction or spending gas.
PRICE LOOKUP
Token prices are fetched from CoinGecko API. The system records both the raw token amounts (e.g., 0.015 ETH, 42.3 USDC) and USD values at the time of each snapshot. This dual recording enables the Dynamic Delta calculation.
SNAPSHOT STORAGE
Each snapshot is permanently stored with: token0 fees, token1 fees, token0 price, token1 price, and total USD value. Over time, this builds a complete history of your position's real performance.
Understanding Your Metrics
Annualized return based on total accumulated fees since the position was opened. This is your real, historical APR — not a protocol estimate.
The change in total fee value (USD) over a selected period. Use the period selector (3S, 1D, 3D, 7D, 14D, 30D) to see trends. Note: this metric includes the effect of token price changes on accumulated fees.
Dynamic Delta — measures only the new fees earned during a period, valued at the current token price. This eliminates noise from price volatility on previously accumulated fees. If ETH drops but you keep earning fees, Dynamic Delta stays positive while regular Delta might go negative.
Annualized return calculated from the fee delta over the selected period. Shows recent performance trend rather than lifetime average.

Why We Use Wide Ranges
Many LP dashboards focus on narrow, aggressive ranges that look impressive on paper but require constant rebalancing and carry significant impermanent loss risk. PoolDeFi is built around wide-range positions that are designed to be predictable and sustainable.
Wide ranges stay in-range during normal market volatility, providing consistent fee generation without active management.
A wider range means less concentrated exposure. If the price moves sharply, your impermanent loss is proportionally smaller than with a tight range.
By tracking identical pairs across different protocols and networks with similar ranges, you can objectively compare which venue generates the best real yield for your capital.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PoolDeFi?+
PoolDeFi is a free DeFi analytics platform that tracks the real, historical performance of concentrated-liquidity pools across multiple blockchains. It records on-chain fee data every 2 hours and calculates honest APR from actual history — not the inflated, momentary APR that protocol dashboards display.
Which blockchains and DEXes does PoolDeFi support?+
PoolDeFi tracks liquidity pools on 6 chains — Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Monad — across Uniswap (v3 and v4), Aerodrome, PancakeSwap, and LFJ (Trader Joe / Liquidity Book).
How is PoolDeFi's APR different from the APR shown on Uniswap or Aerodrome?+
Protocol dashboards usually show a momentary APR extrapolated from the last few minutes of trading, which spikes and collapses with volume. PoolDeFi computes APR from real fee accumulation measured across hourly snapshots over days, weeks, or the pool's entire tracked history, giving a stable and honest yield figure.
What is the Yield Hunter?+
Yield Hunter is a public scanner that ranks live DEX pools by their real, snapshot-derived APR. It groups pools by pair type (ETH/stables, BTC/stables, stable/stable, and more), shows period volume, period fees, missed-snapshot health, and estimated earnings for a given liquidity amount and range.
Is PoolDeFi free to use?+
Yes. Anyone can browse pool data, the Yield Hunter, the calculator, and the strategy planner for free. A free Google sign-in unlocks more, and the top-performing pools plus advanced periods are available after a quick access approval.
Does PoolDeFi give financial advice?+
No. PoolDeFi is an observation and analysis tool. It surfaces verified on-chain data and projections but does not provide investment recommendations. Users make their own decisions.
How does PoolDeFi calculate impermanent loss and range risk?+
The Strategy and Calculator tools use Uniswap-v3 concentrated-liquidity math to project earnings for a chosen liquidity amount and price range, and to simulate position value and PnL if price reaches the lower bound of your range.
How often is the data updated?+
PoolDeFi takes an automated on-chain snapshot of every tracked pool every 2 hours (12 per day per pool), and every snapshot is stored permanently to build long-term performance history.
