Analyzing Liquidity Pools

Overview

Analyze DEX liquidity pools across Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer to evaluate TVL, trading volume, fee income, and impermanent loss risk. Compare pools across protocols and chains to identify optimal LP opportunities.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+ installed
• Internet access for subgraph/API queries
• Understanding of liquidity providing concepts (IL, fee tiers, TVL)

Instructions

1. Analyze a specific pool by address or token pair:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --pool 0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --pair ETH/USDC --protocol uniswap-v3
   

2. Calculate impermanent loss for a price change:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --il-calc --entry-price 2000 --current-price 3000  # 2000/3000 = ETH price at entry/now in USD
   

   Project IL for various scenarios:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --il-scenarios --token-pair ETH/USDC
   

3. Estimate LP returns with fee APR and position projections:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --pool [address] --detailed
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --pool [address] --position 10000  # 10000 = LP position size in USD
   

4. Compare pools across protocols or fee tiers:

   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --compare --pair ETH/USDC --protocols uniswap-v3,curve,balancer
   python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/pool_analyzer.py --compare --pair ETH/USDC --fee-tiers 0.05,0.30,1.00
   

5. Export results to JSON or CSV:
