I’ve been spending most of my time so far with Uniswap and Shadow, but I’m starting to look at some other platforms to see where the better LP opportunities might be. The three I’m looking at are: - Aerodrome on Base - Meteora on Solana - Orca on Solana I’m especially curious about things like actual realized ROI, how often you have to manage/rebalance positions, how good the liquidity and volume are, and whether the displayed APRs are anywhere close to what you actually earn. If you’re using any of these, I’d love to hear which one you like, what pairs you’re in, and what you’ve learned so far. I’m trying to compare platforms based on real results, not just advertised APR.

A pretty exciting LP win - 44% ROI in 48 hours

One of my higher-risk experiments really surprised me. I opened a NET/USDG V4 liquidity position on Uniswap as a small test, knowing it carried more risk than the blue-chip pools I had been working with. In roughly 48 hours, the position generated fees equal to about 44% of my original investment. The part I’m most encouraged by is that this wasn’t just a crazy displayed APR on the screen. Those were actual fees earned and collected. The position briefly moved out of range, converted heavily into USDG, and then moved back into range, so there has definitely been volatility along the way. But that is also part of what has made the pool productive. My biggest takeaway: Displayed APR gets your attention. Realized ROI tells you whether the strategy is actually working. Still a higher-risk position and definitely not something I would size aggressively, but this has been a really interesting example of why it can be worth looking deeper at volume, fee structure, pool version, and actual trading activity instead of simply chasing the highest APR. Definitely one I’ll keep studying.

Chart on Uniswap pools

Can anyone explain what the chart on the right side of the Uniswap pools represents? Is it the % of each token and the value of them at different price levels?

Those light gray horizontal bars on the right are a Volume Profile. Instead of showing volume by time, like the usual volume bars along the bottom of a chart, a Volume Profile shows how much trading occurred at each price level. So in your screenshot: - Longer gray bar = more trading volume occurred around that price - Shorter gray bar = less trading occurred there - A thick cluster of bars often represents an area where buyers and sellers have repeatedly agreed on price - Thin areas are prices the market moved through relatively quickly For LP analysis, this can be particularly useful because those high-volume zones can act somewhat like price magnets, support, or resistance. They can help us estimate where price may spend more time, which matters a lot when choosing a concentrated liquidity range. For example, notice the substantial gray concentration around roughly the 0.0462 WETH per CASHCAT area. That's telling you there has been meaningful trading activity around that level. If price keeps returning there, it may be an important equilibrium area. One important distinction: the gray bars do not tell you whether the volume was buying or selling. They primarily tell you where trading occurred.

That why they mention to practice on stable coins as you are learning.
