30 โ 500 SOL Challenge officially completed! ๐ฏ๐ฅ
Started on August 9 with just 30 SOL.
Today, October 31, exactly 83 days later, I've finally reached 500 SOL.
That's 16.67x in SOL.
I actually had a chance to finish the challenge back in September, but I fell just 20 SOL short of the target.
And somehow, it took me another entire month to earn those last 20 SOL. ๐
But we finally made it!
Here's the wallet where I made the final 100 SOL:

This Monday, I'll be dropping an article sharing my LP strategies, how I approach the market, and my overall perspective on LPing.
Thanks to everyone who's been following this journey! ๐ซก๐ฅ

I think I actually got a bit overheated with this challenge.
In the right market, itโs a huge motivation. But right now, I feel like I need to be more careful, and the desire to complete the challenge is starting to affect my decisions a little.
So for now, I want to lock in the 100 โ 400 SOL result on this wallet and switch to a new one, where Iโll try to make the remaining 100 SOL and complete the challenge.
In the future, if the market gives me the opportunity, I want to do a new 200 โ 1,000 SOL challenge and try to complete it in a shorter period of time.
Why am I not planning something like 500 โ 2,500 SOL yet?
First, I need to be psychologically ready for that size. Second, Iโll need to be much more selective with tokens for my strategy when using bigger size.
P.S. @lpagent_io doesnโt display some narrow-range positions on RWA tokens correctly. Profitable positions can show as negative, while losing positions can show as profitable.
Also, I had one $CATE play where I actually flipped the token for 2x (+$5K) when LP was completely boring.
So technically, the challenge canโt be considered 100% LP.
If you have any doubts about the results, you can easily verify all the transactions using Claude + Helius RPC.

Wallet where I went from 30 โ 180 SOL: 8EGTTWKq2nxWUEeFCsGqzSLsM4JvHSJLHp3o18JYn7ja
Wishing everyone good profits. ๐ซก
Iโll also try to expand my content beyond just posting PnL โ share more about how I approach LPing, how I make decisions, and maybe some Solana on-chain development stuff as well. ๐ฅ

TWO-SIDED SPOT: 279 POSITIONS, +91 SOL, 29% OF ALL FEES
My favourite DLMM strategy. I pulled every position from on-chain data.
vs one-sided Spot:
โถ 3.6ร more fees per trade
โถ 2ร higher net return per SOL deployed
โถ 71.3% win rate, 2.3 min average hold
The catch: holding tokens makes losses bigger. Just 13% of trades (20%+ dumps) ate two thirds of everything the strategy earned.
In the full breakdown:
โถ how I enter (and why 96% of positions start the same way)
โถ ratio, range and the dip cushion
โถ what auto-reinvest really does
โถ the SOL filter that tells me when NOT to use it

Yesterday I shared how I made $16k+ on Meteora LP
Here is Part 2: 166 SOL โ 471 SOL in 28 days ($42,300+ total profit across W1+W2)
Same fee scalping approach, but I had to change 3 key rules as my size grew
Wallet 2 of my 30 โ 500 SOL challenge (784 positions, 36s median hold):
The numbers (26 Aug - 22 Sep):
- Started with 166.6 SOL from Wallet 1
- Net wallet result: +304.6 SOL at today's SOL price (withdrew 100 SOL + 35,011 USDT along the way)
- Pure LP PnL: +218.4 SOL (Fees: +693 SOL | Price impact: -475 SOL)
- Win rate: 63.3% | Profit factor: 1.79 | Max DD: -39 SOL
- Avg trade: ~41 SOL size (+0.28 SOL net profit / 0.88 SOL fees)
The setup:
- 90% Spot shape, 10% Bid-Ask (94% placed right at active price)
- Even faster exits: 63% closed under 1 min, 93% under 5 mins
- Up to 4 active positions at once
One-sided vs Two-sided:
- One-sided (81% of trades): SOL-only or USDC-only, avg width 31 bins. 2.02 PF, 1.27 R:R
- Two-sided (19%): 146 of 147 trades were re-opens in the same pool using leftover tokens. Avg width 51 bins. 72% WR, but avg loss hit -2.95 SOL.
What changed from Wallet 1:
1. Narrow ranges instead of wide: in week 1, I kept using wide ranges from Wallet 1 and lost -19.5 SOL. Switched to narrow ranges (โค20 bins) and printed +166 SOL (3.5 PF), while 61-70 bins lost -49 SOL. On a 36s hold, price rarely leaves the range, and tight bins collect way more fees per SOL
2. Established USDC pools (ORE, AAVE, POLYMARKET): 3-bin ranges, ~150 SOL size, 25s holds. Only 13% of trades, but brought in 39% of all profit (78% WR, 3.09 PF)
3. Sizing up on A+ setups: 40+ SOL positions made +143 SOL (81% WR).
What lost money & bonus edge:
- Holding 10+ minutes lost -20.6 SOL total (worst trade: -27.8 SOL on an 80 SOL position held for 3.4 hours).
- Bonus edge: SOL bids placed fully below active price made +45 SOL across 46 positions (losers only cost tx fees).
Correction on Part 1: LP Agent showed +188.96 SOL, but real cash profit on Wallet 1 is +137 SOL (30 โ 167 SOL)
Should I drop Part 3 next? Tell me below what you want me to break down in more detail
How I made $16,000+ on Meteora LP in 17 days
This is fee scalping, not holding
Here's the exact strategy, straight from on chain data
Wallet 1 of my 30 โ 500 SOL challenge
(797 positions, 53s median hold):
The numbers:
- Net PnL: +188.96 SOL (Fees: +415.88 SOL)
- Win rate: 84% (Avg size: 20.8 SOL)
- Profit factor: 1.92 | Max DD: -25.9 SOL | 15/18 green days
The setup:
- Fresh memecoins vs SOL (bin step 100, 1-3% base fee)
- 96% Spot shape, wide ranges (1/3 near the 70-bin max)
- Max 3 active positions at a time
- 91% of trades closed under 5 mins (~7 re-entries per pool while volume is hot)
One-sided vs Two-sided:
- One-sided SOL (68% of trades): 28s median hold, 42 bins avg. +55.9 SOL, 3.0 PF (profit factor). Cleanest setup with minimal downside.
- Two-sided (32%): re-opening the same pool with leftover tokens (~24% token), 2.3m hold. Brought in 71% of all fees (+80 SOL), but avg loss is 2x avg win due to token risk.
What actually worked best:
- 1-3 min hold time: 81% WR (win rate), 2.7 PF (profit factor)
- Wide 61-70 bin ranges crushed tight โค20 bin ranges (3.66 PF vs 1.19 PF)
- Bin step โค80 pools printed 7-9 PF
- 5% fee pools lost money

When someone mentions LP on Solana, memecoins almost always come to mind.
Makes sense: thatโs usually where the craziest yields and best-looking screenshots come from.
But why do I see so few breakdowns of RWA pairs?
On Solana, you can already provide liquidity for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
Same idea, lower risk: you provide liquidity and earn a share of the fees from swaps through it.
I find these pairs using my own monitor, @navigatorDLMM, which tracks sudden spikes in trading activity.
Of course, yields are much lower in current market conditions, but during periods of high activity, these pairs have delivered some really solid returns.
๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ?
In DLMM, itโs not just trading volume that matters, but how much liquidity is competing for those fees.
Before entering, I check fees across different timeframes, liquidity around the current price, and the pairโs chart.
APR shouldnโt be treated as a promised return for the year either.
Volume can dry up, price can move out of range, and fees might not cover the decline in your positionโs value.
And RWAs arenโt all the same. An index ETF, an individual stock, and a pre-IPO token carry very different risks.
But in my view, the risks here are still much lower than with memecoins.
Screenshot from September, when market activity was much higher.
Anyone already LPing RWA pairs on Solana? Share your results.
30 โ 500 SOL Challenge officially completed! ๐ฏ๐ฅ
Started on August 9 with just 30 SOL.
Today, October 31, exactly 83 days later, I've finally reached 500 SOL.
That's 16.67x in SOL.
I actually had a chance to finish the challenge back in September, but I fell just 20 SOL short of the target.
And somehow, it took me another entire month to earn those last 20 SOL. ๐
But we finally made it!
Here's the wallet where I made the final 100 SOL:

This Monday, I'll be dropping an article sharing my LP strategies, how I approach the market, and my overall perspective on LPing.
Thanks to everyone who's been following this journey! ๐ซก๐ฅ

I've been pretty much AFK for the entire month. October results are in the screenshot. ๐
Only 15 SOL left to complete my 100 โ 500 SOL challenge.
My LP strategy has always been more focused on short-term positions in high-volume pools, with frequent position rebalancing.
So I decided to build my own tool to fill the gaps in my approach to slow cooks.
That's actually what I've been spending most of my time on lately.
Hopefully, I'll have something interesting to share soon. ๐ซก๐ฅ
