📅 Market analysis for August 13, 2026 · data as of 14:00 UTC · powered by live Wealthville Scores
One pool flashes 48.9% while two print 0.0% — the spread between real fees and dead flow is stark.
How we’re ranking risk‑adjusted yield today
Every pool in today’s universe shows a farmer score of 100/100. That’s a tie. Useful for filtering, not for sizing. To break the tie, we rank by real flow and sustainability:
- Turnover: 24h volume divided by TVL (daily %). Higher turnover supports ongoing fee generation.
- Fee APR: Reported fee APR for the last period. High is good, but only if turnover backs it.
- Risk: Lower is better when two pools look similar on flow and fees.
Protocols matter for mechanics. Orca Whirlpools (CLMM) and Raydium CLMM concentrate liquidity; Raydium AMM is wide; Meteora’s DLMM uses bins that can grind high fees if order flow sits inside them. But the day’s math still starts with turnover and fee APR side by side.
If fees aren’t printing, the pool is just exposure with drag.
We also cross‑reference prior behavior. If you want the longer arc on why concentrated blue‑chip pairs often out‑earn memecoins, read our earlier take: SOL‑USDC CLMMs Are Paying; Memecoin APRs Are Mostly Noise.
Today’s ranking: from strongest flywheel to likely dust
Farmer scores all equal (100/100). Ordering below reflects turnover, then fee APR, then risk.
1) ANTHROPIC‑USDC on meteora‑dlmm — fee APR 48.9%, turnover 2.9%, risk 62/100
Stats: TVL $515K, 24h vol $15K. Turnover is 2.9%. Fee APR is 48.9%. That combo is the day’s outlier in a good way. DLMM bins can make fee APRs spike when flow hugs your bands, and 2.9% turnover is meaningful against a half‑million TVL base. Risk at 62/100 isn’t low, but the trade‑off looks acceptable when the engine (volume/TVL) is actually spinning.
Why it scored here: real flow, real fees, decent depth. Sustainability watch‑item: high APRs like this often decay if price wanders out of active bins or if liquidity crowds in after a banner day.
2) OCTO‑SOL on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.6%, turnover 0.9%, risk 72/100
Stats: TVL $104K, 24h vol $890. Turnover is 0.9%. Fee APR is 0.6%. For a Raydium AMM pair in the current tape, that’s active. The catch is obvious: risk at 72/100 is the highest in the set. Rotation risk is real; fees can vanish if attention slides.
Why it scored here: second‑best turnover today, fee APR not fake, but the risk is screaming. Treat it like a trade, not a set‑and‑forget LP.
3) SOL‑ELIZA on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.4%, turnover 0.3%, risk 49/100
Stats: TVL $95K, 24h vol $263. Turnover is 0.3%. Fee APR at 0.4% beats most peers today. Risk is 49/100, one of the lower readings. Nothing flashy, but this is the profile that often quietly pays while attention chases spikes elsewhere.
Why it scored here: balanced. Solid turnover for an AMM, decent fee print, and comparatively lower risk.
4) SOL‑GNON on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.1%, turnover 0.3%, risk 58/100
Stats: TVL $107K, 24h vol $335. Turnover is 0.3%. Fee APR is 0.1%. You’re getting flow, but not a big cut of it today. Could be fee tier, could be flow outside your share. Risk is middling. If fee APR ticks up with the same turnover, it climbs the list quickly.
5) SOL‑XIN on raydium‑clmm — fee APR 1.3%, turnover 0.2%, risk 64/100
Stats: TVL $97K, 24h vol $181. Turnover is 0.2%. Fee APR at 1.3% is the third‑highest headline here. On a CLMM, that likely reflects effective positioning or thin competing liquidity. Risk at 64/100 is nontrivial; plan for rebalancing if price drifts.
6) GLDx‑XAUt0 on raydium‑clmm — fee APR 0.1%, turnover 0.2%, risk 64/100
Stats: TVL $98K, 24h vol $159. Turnover is 0.2%. Fee APR is 0.1%. This reads like a hedged or synthetic commodity corner of Solana. Flow is present, not hot. Same risk read as SOL‑XIN, but lower fee print pushes it below.
7) SOL‑BUTTCOIN on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.3%, turnover 0.1%, risk 48/100
Stats: TVL $122K, 24h vol $116. Turnover is 0.1%. Fee APR is 0.3%. The fee print looks okay against thin turnover, suggesting either a generous fee tier or a temporarily high LP share. Risk is 48/100, on the lower side for the set, which is a plus if you insist on AMM memecoins.
8) Daily1%‑USDC on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.0%, turnover 0.1%, risk 53/100
Stats: TVL $191K, 24h vol $135. Turnover is 0.1%. Fee APR is 0.0%. With a name that implies yield, the day’s read is the opposite. If you’re LP’ing here, you’re mostly warehousing exposure without compensation. It belongs below pairs that at least print something.
9) BOOP‑USDC on orca‑whirlpool — fee APR 0.0%, turnover 0.0%, risk 67/100
Stats: TVL $213K, 24h vol $18. Turnover is 0.0%. Fee APR is 0.0%. CLMMs can pay well when in‑range and active, as our Orca coverage often shows, but today this is cold storage. For a $213K pool, $18 of volume is noise. Risk is high at 67/100. Hard pass until volumes revive.
10) SOL‑CDR on raydium‑amm — fee APR 0.1%, turnover 0.0%, risk 57/100
Stats: TVL $192K, 24h vol $11. Turnover is 0.0%. Fee APR is 0.1%. Eleven dollars on six‑figure TVL is functionally zero. You’re taking price risk and impermanent loss risk with no fee offset. It sits last because there’s no evidence of a fee flywheel right now.
What looks like a trap despite a big number
Two flavors of trap show up in this snapshot:
- Banner APR with modest flow: ANTHROPIC‑USDC shows 48.9% fee APR with 2.9% turnover. That can be real on DLMM bins when order flow sits on your range, but it’s fragile if price walks away or LPs crowd in. If you chase it, use tight ranges and a leash.
- Zero fees on six‑figure TVL: BOOP‑USDC and SOL‑CDR both read like parking lots today. A farmer score of 100/100 doesn’t rescue a pool with 0.0% fee APR and 0.0% turnover.
My view: I’d rather LP a boring 0.3% turnover AMM that actually pays than chase a 48.9% banner that vanishes the moment bins go out of range.
Where fees are likely to persist
Consistency beats spikes. What tends to stick on Solana right now:
- Concentrated majors during session hours: We’ve argued before that CLMMs on core pairs print when in range. See: SOL‑USDC CLMMs Are Paying; Memecoin APRs Are Mostly Noise.
- Non‑hype pairs with steady 0.2–0.3% turnover: SOL‑ELIZA at 0.3% turnover and 0.4% fee APR is more promising than it looks.
- DLMM with sticky order flow: If ANTHROPIC‑USDC sustains 2.9% turnover for several days, the 48.9% won’t stay that high, but it won’t collapse to zero either. Watch cumulative fees, not just a single‑day APR print.
- Commodity‑adjacent or hedged corners: GLDx‑XAUt0 shows steady but slow usage. If you want calm water, that’s often where it lives (boring can be good).

How to position and monitor
Sizing and range
High headline APR on ANTHROPIC‑USDC deserves a test, not a commitment. Small size, tight bands, daily checks. If bins drift, exit or reposition. For OCTO‑SOL, the turnover is there, but the 72/100 risk rating argues for even smaller bites.
Rotation risk
Memecoin‑ish pairs like SOL‑GNON and SOL‑BUTTCOIN can be fine until they aren’t. The moment turnover slides from 0.3% to 0.0%, your fee offset against adverse price becomes nil. Build a habit: check 24h volume before adding LP, not after.
Don’t subsidize silence
BOOP‑USDC and SOL‑CDR are the day’s example of dead flow on real TVL. Even if the token goes up, you could have held spot without incurring IL. If fees are 0.0%, LP is just an inferior way to hold inventory.

FAQ
Why do all these pools show a 100/100 farmer score?
That score isn’t the same as sustainable fees. It’s a quick filter that many LPs use to surface active or supported pools, but when everything ties at 100/100, the real work is checking turnover and fee APR. If volume is 0.0%, the score won’t save the trade.
How do you judge fee APR sustainability from one day of data?
Pair it with turnover and pool design. A big fee APR with 2.9% turnover on DLMM can be legit if order flow sits on your bins. A big APR with 0.0% turnover would be suspect. Either way, sustainability shows up in multi‑day cumulative fees, not a single print.
Is higher risk score always bad for LPs?
Not always, but it tightens your leash. A risk of 72/100 on a 0.9% turnover memecoin pair can still be a trade, just smaller size and closer monitoring. When two pools look similar on turnover and fees, we favor the one with lower risk.
Why is turnover more important than TVL by itself?
TVL is capacity. Turnover is usage. Fees come from usage. A $200K pool with 0.0% turnover can’t pay you. A $95K pool printing 0.3% turnover has a path to daily fees, even if the TVL looks smaller.
Should I avoid pools with 0.0% fee APR entirely?
Until the number moves, yes. You’re taking price and impermanent loss risks without compensation. If you want exposure to the token, holding spot is cleaner than LP’ing a silent pool.
