1/ Identifying best pairs & pools:
To find the most efficient DLMM pairs & pools within my risk tolerance, I check the excellent Tokelo tool by
@KalindroDB 4-5 times a day using the following filters:
• 24h Fee/TVL Ratio: Projected (top of the page)
This metric equally weights fee generation across different time frames. If a token generates proportionally more fees in the last 6 hours than over 24h, it means fee activity is increasing — the pair will move up the list. Big thanks to
@KalindroDB for building this feature so quickly!
• Min Market Cap (M): 5
The lower the market cap, the higher the likelihood of a rapid drop below range.
• Min Liquidity (K): 200
Deep liquidity matters for two reasons: (1) I can deploy capital without overly diluting fee generation, and (2) tokens with high liquidity are generally "stronger" (i.e., less likely to rug or crash -50% in a short window).
• Min Bin Step: 80
Below 80 bin steps usually means much more active management and higher risk of being out of range (leading to significant IL).
• Min 24h Fees (K): 5
Ensures the pair has generated meaningful fees in the last 24h.
• Quote Token: SOL
I exclusively use SOL as the quote token — my goal with Meteora DLMM is to accumulate as much SOL as possible in anticipation of a price rebound.
• Show Single Best Fee/TVL Pool Per Token: Yes
This keeps the display clean and avoids clutter from multiple pools per pair.
• Max Bin Step: 250
Above 250, pools are usually not efficient enough in terms of fee generation.
