How we break today’s 100/100 ties
Every pool below has a farmer score of 100/100. That’s the starting gate, not the finish line. To decide what actually deserves your capital today, we rank on a simple, LP-first stack: 1) lower risk score, 2) higher fee productivity (24h volume divided by TVL), 3) TVL depth that can absorb size without you babysitting the position. If two pools tie there, we prefer stable pricing regimes over hyper-volatile memes because realized fees matter only if you keep them.
Contrarian take: ignore headline APRs that don’t come with volume. If 24h volume is zero, a fee APR—no matter how shiny—doesn’t pay you. This is the week to act like a market maker, not a marketer.
Risk‑adjusted leaderboard: today’s 100/100 pools
- 1) PYUSD‑USDC (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $16.78M, 24h vol $1.77M, fee APR 0.4%, risk 29/100. Turnover 10.6%. Deepest book in the set and the only pool with double‑digit daily turnover. Fee APR reads modest, but the volume/TVL shows consistent taker flow that can support range LPs without constant micromanagement. Low risk and real flow makes this the day’s workhorse.
- 2) CETES‑USDC (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $101K, 24h vol $6K, fee APR 0.9%, risk 43/100. Turnover 5.9%. Small, but at least it trades. The fee APR is actually the highest among today’s real‑flow pools, and the turnover supports it. Depth is thin, so size accordingly or keep a narrower range if you want to clip fees without eating slippage.
- 3) apyUSD‑apxUSD (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $7.38M, 24h vol $143K, fee APR 0.8%, risk 50/100. Turnover 1.9%. Mid‑risk stables with decent depth but lighter flow than PYUSD‑USDC. The 0.8% fee APR reads fine, though sustainability depends on range width and whether takers keep showing up at this pace. If you prefer size over micromanagement, this is the second dependable stable bucket after PYUSD‑USDC today.
- 4) Fartcoin‑USELESS (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $45K, 24h vol $2K, fee APR 2.6%, risk 50/100. Turnover 4.4%. The number looks spicy, but the book is thin and the assets are, well, named exactly how you’d expect. If you LP here, treat it as a trade with hard stops and tight ranges. Ranks below apyUSD‑apxUSD because realized PnL depends on not getting walked while you’re asleep.
- 5) BOOP‑USDC (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $182K, 24h vol $0, fee APR 0.0%, risk 39/100. Turnover 0.0%. Lower risk score than the two above, but no trades means no fees. If you’re range LP’ing a memecoin with zero prints, you’re not a market maker, you’re a billboard. Pass until flow returns.
- 6) SPACEX‑SPCXx (meteora‑dlmm) — TVL $132K, 24h vol $0, fee APR 3.2%, risk 60/100. Turnover 0.0%. Headline APR says party, the tape says empty room. With 0 trades in 24h, a 3.2% "fee APR" is either stale, range‑dependent, or emissions‑adjacent. Until prints resume, treat this as a trap.
- 7) USD.infra‑sUSD.infra (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $817K, 24h vol $231, fee APR 0.0%, risk 65/100. Turnover 0.0% (to 1 dp). Mid‑high risk relative to peers with no fee flow today. If you must park cash here, do it short‑term and alert‑driven.
- 8) STONK‑FLYWHEEL (raydium‑clmm) — TVL $124K, 24h vol $0, fee APR 0.2%, risk 82/100. Turnover 0.0%. High risk, no trades. Even a tiny APR print can’t save a silent book. If you’re tempted, set a pre‑defined exit band and assume you’ll be the only liquidity when price gaps.
- 9) SOL‑ICM (raydium‑amm) — TVL $70K, 24h vol $38, fee APR 0.0%, risk 85/100. Turnover 0.1%. A volatile base asset with no fee flow is pure directional risk. Not paying you to hold the bag.
- 10) bSOL‑mSOL (orca‑whirlpool) — TVL $52K, 24h vol $7, fee APR 0.0%, risk 86/100. Turnover 0.0%. LST vs LST can be great when the spread moves, but today the board is dead and the risk score is the worst of the set. Skip. If you’re hunting LST edges, wait for spread drift and real prints.

Why the winners look boring (and that’s good)
The top two are stables against USDC on Orca Whirlpools. Not a coincidence. PYUSD‑USDC combines the day’s lowest risk score (29/100) with the highest turnover (10.6%). That’s the definition of fee sustainability: many small trades, tight spreads, deep books. CETES‑USDC is tiny by TVL at $101K, but a 5.9% turnover shows someone is paying for immediacy. If you’re nimble with ranges, you can harvest that flow without dangling too much inventory.
apyUSD‑apxUSD slots in because size matters. $7.38M can take your size without constant slippage paranoia, even if the turnover (1.9%) trails the leader. Its 0.8% fee APR is fine if you keep your bands calibrated to where the trades actually print. These are setups where LP is a business, not a bet.
Looks hot, pays cold: the traps
- SPACEX‑SPCXx: 3.2% fee APR with $0 24h volume. That mismatch is your tell. Until prints return, the APR is a mirage. DLMM can concentrate inventory into bins, but bins without buyers are just boxes.
- BOOP‑USDC: Low risk score on paper (39/100) and $182K TVL. Zero volume. Nothing to earn. If you want BOOP exposure, buy BOOP; don’t subsidize silence.
- STONK‑FLYWHEEL: High risk (82/100), zero volume, and an AMM that will happily hold your bag during gaps. The 0.2% fee APR won’t hedge a void.
Headline APR without trades is marketing; realized fees come from takers crossing your range.
AMM structure matters for fee capture
Orca Whirlpools is a concentrated‑liquidity design; you set a price range and earn fees when price trades inside it. That’s why turnover as a share of TVL is such a strong tell. If you want a primer, the Whirlpools docs do a solid job explaining range placement and fee accrual. Raydium’s CLMM is similar in mechanics, while its legacy AMM pool (SOL‑ICM) is passive and will expose you to more impermanent loss if price drifts without volume to compensate. Meteora’s DLMM adds discrete bins; great when the market hops between bins often, awful when it doesn’t.
Today’s board says this clearly: concentrated models pay when the tape is alive. For PYUSD‑USDC, that’s true. For the zero‑volume sets, those ranges are just inert capital. If you’re going to keep a quiet pool, it should be because you’re front‑running known flow (market open, listing, unlock), not because a dashboard shows a cute APR.
How to actually position into these
- Start with the board leaders: scale into PYUSD‑USDC as your core. Add a nimbler sleeve to CETES‑USDC for a shot at the 0.9% fee APR if the prints keep coming.
- Use alerts for the maybe‑payers: if you want optionality on apyUSD‑apxUSD, stand by with alerts and push liquidity in only when turnover rises. Our AI Signals surface flow inflections so you don’t babysit charts all day.
- Set hard rules for memes: position small, go tight on ranges, and require live prints before funding. If the last 24h is 0.0% turnover, walk away. No exceptions.
- Keep a watchlist, not a wishlist: If you need fresh catalysts, the live Best Solana pools feed updates throughout the day with TVL, volume, and fees you can actually harvest.
One practical habit that pays: check volume/TVL at least once per session. If turnover rolls over, widen ranges or pull capital. That discipline alone will save you from 80% of APR mirages.
FAQ
Why rank pools when every farmer score is 100/100?
Because the 100/100 just gets you in the door. Realized returns depend on risk, fee productivity (24h volume relative to TVL), and depth. Today’s ordering rewards low risk and real flow over headline APRs.
What does “turnover” mean and why does it matter?
Turnover is 24h volume divided by TVL. It’s a fast proxy for fee opportunity. PYUSD‑USDC printed 10.6% turnover; CETES‑USDC printed 5.9%. Pools at 0.0% aren’t paying you regardless of APR claims.
Are zero‑volume pools ever worth LP’ing?
Only if you have a near‑term catalyst and a plan to exit. Without prints, fees are zero and you’re taking directional and liquidity risk. Wait for flow or keep it on a watchlist with alerts.
Why place stablecoin pools above memecoin pools with higher APR?
Because APR without trades doesn’t accrue. Stable pairs also reduce price divergence risk. Today, stables combine the best risk scores with actual volume; that’s what compounds.
How should I size ranges on concentrated pools?
Match your range width to expected volatility and recent print zones. Start tighter on high‑turnover pools and expand if fills thin out. If price exits your band and volume dies, pull capital rather than hoping.
Where can I monitor the live board and spot new flow?
Use the live boards on our Best Solana pools page and flow alerts via AI Signals. They track TVL, 24h volume, fee APR, and surface shifts you can act on.
