📅 Market analysis for September 9, 2026 · data as of 14:00 UTC · powered by live Wealthville Scores
Ten Solana pools, ten perfect farmer scores — the tie-breaker is whether yesterday’s fees can repeat tomorrow.
Every 100/100 today — don’t get fooled by the tie
Today’s feed is noisy: every pool here prints 100/100 on the farmer score. That signals fee intensity happened — it does not promise it continues. The only way to separate signal from bait is to look straight at three things for each pair: TVL depth, fee sustainability, and volume relative to TVL. If those three don’t rhyme, the APR screenshot is a souvenir.
We’ll keep the ranking simple: since farmer scores are tied, we order pools by real trading turnover (24h volume divided by TVL) and then haircut by risk. High turnover with tolerable risk climbs. Dead flow or max risk drops.
“Every 500% fee screenshot is a trade, not a bond.”

Today’s risk-adjusted leaderboard (within 100/100)
- 1) SOL-JTO (Raydium CLMM) — TVL $102K, 24h vol $3.88M (38.0x), fee APR 500.0%, risk 46/100. Enormous turnover on thin TVL plus the lowest risk in the 500% cohort. If you LP here, your edge is speed: that 38.0x can fade fast.
- 2) SOL-LOOM (Raydium CLMM) — TVL $287K, 24h vol $2.60M (9.1x), fee APR 500.0%, risk 62/100. Solid turnover with mid-pack risk. Better depth than SOL-JTO, but less explosive fee density per $1 staked.
- 3) UBI-USDC (Raydium CLMM) — TVL $184K, 24h vol $719K (3.9x), fee APR 500.0%, risk 83/100. Fees printed, but the risk flag is high. Treat as a rotation, not a parking spot.
- 4) PURPS-SOL (Meteora dAMM v2) — TVL $116K, 24h vol $2.18M (18.8x), fee APR 500.0%, risk 100/100. Turnover screams opportunity, the risk meter screams trap. If you touch it, use tiny sizing and strict exits.
- 5) tGBP-USDC (Orca Whirlpool) — TVL $241K, 24h vol $155, fee APR 0.0%, risk 30/100. Safety king with no income. Good place to stage dollars between trades, not to earn.
- 6) SOL-SolARBa (Raydium AMM) — TVL $245K, 24h vol $1K, fee APR 0.7%, risk 76/100. The math doesn’t pencil: mid risk, near-zero flow, near-zero fees.
The remaining four pools are, bluntly, idle capital today: PAJAMAS-SOL (TVL $60K, vol $1, fee APR 0.0%, risk 72/100), SHIT-SOL (TVL $56K, vol $4, fee APR 0.0%, risk 70/100), SOL-CHAOS (TVL $54K, vol $0, fee APR 0.0%, risk 70/100), and BOOP-USDC (TVL $158K, vol $21, fee APR 0.0%, risk 95/100). If you insist on AMM exposure in them, think of it as directional bag-holding with LP tax.
Pool-by-pool notes (why each scored where it did)
SOL-JTO — thin TVL, huge flow, lowest risk in the fee cohort
TVL at $102K is light. 24h volume at $3.88M is not — that’s 38.0x turnover. On a CLMM, that combo mints fees quickly when price chops through concentrated ranges. The 500.0% headline is a byproduct of that churn, not a promise. Risk at 46/100 is the best among the 500% pools, which bumps it to the top of a risk-adjusted list. If you LP here, tighten your active range and set alerts; the second turnover drops, so do fees.
SOL-LOOM — decent depth, real trading, mid risk
$287K in TVL with $2.60M traded yesterday gives 9.1x turnover. That’s enough to carry fee APR without relying on a single whale print. Risk at 62/100 is acceptable for short stints. This is the classic “fees beat TVL” setup we’ve written about before (see Raydium CLMM: Where Fees Beat TVL — and Where They Don’t), but you still need discipline when volatility compresses.
UBI-USDC — fee spike with a high risk haircut
TVL $184K, volume $719K, so 3.9x turnover did the heavy lifting for yesterday’s 500.0% print. Risk at 83/100 says counterparty and price behavior are jumpy. If you’re running this, think hours not days. A staged exit ladder around realized fee milestones helps you take the screen-shot gains before they evaporate.
PURPS-SOL — explosive flow, hard red risk flag
TVL is just $116K while volume clocks $2.18M, an 18.8x day. That explains the 500.0% fee APR. The catch is the risk score: 100/100. When risk maxes, assume tail events are in play — price gaps, liquidity pulls, or concentrated flow from a single actor. On Meteora’s dynamic AMM, fee buckets can look terrific for a few hours then stall. Trade this like a scalp if you must (tiny size, hard stops), or skip it entirely.
tGBP-USDC — safest seat, but the band isn’t playing
On tGBP-USDC (Orca Whirlpool), TVL sits at $241K. 24h volume was $155. Fee APR 0.0%. Risk is just 30/100. That’s your dry-powder bucket. You won’t earn, but your capital isn’t getting fed to a dead AMM either. Use it to stage entries into actual paying pairs, or as a resting place between rotations.
SOL-SolARBa — decent size, no business
TVL $245K, volume $1K, fee APR 0.7%, risk 76/100. With that flow, an AMM passively quotes into slippage, not into spread capture. If flow doesn’t appear, your PnL depends on mark-to-market drift, not fees. Pass unless you have a thesis on imminent volume.
BOOP-USDC — risk isn’t coy here
TVL $158K, volume $21, fee APR 0.0%, risk 95/100. No fees and near-maximum risk means you’re taking memecoin exposure while paying the LP tax. If you want BOOP, buy BOOP. Don’t subsidize a dead pool.
PAJAMAS-SOL, SHIT-SOL, SOL-CHAOS — three ways to idle capital
PAJAMAS-SOL: TVL $60K, volume $1, fee APR 0.0%, risk 72/100. SHIT-SOL: TVL $56K, volume $4, fee APR 0.0%, risk 70/100. SOL-CHAOS: TVL $54K, volume $0, fee APR 0.0%, risk 70/100. All three have the same shape: no trading, non-zero risk. If you insist, treat them as directional punts, not income positions.
What 500% fee APR really means on Solana
On concentrated AMMs like Raydium’s CLMM, fees spike when price pings back and forth through dense liquidity ranges. That’s healthy behavior — until it stops. Then the headline resets to whatever the next 24 hours deliver. Sustainable fee APR depends on two things you can measure without guessing: turnover and dispersion of flow.
- Turnover: Yesterday’s volume divided by TVL tells you fee intensity per dollar. 38.0x (like SOL-JTO) is a different animal from 3.9x (like UBI-USDC) even though both show 500.0%.
- Dispersion: Concentrated, one-sided flow can print fees then vanish. Distributed two-way flow sustains them. You won’t see dispersion in a single stat, but combining turnover with the risk reading gets you close.
If you want the mechanics laid out, read the Raydium CLMM docs on fee tiers and active ranges (docs.raydium.io) and Meteora’s dAMM v2 overview (docs.meteora.ag). Then re-read our take on when fees actually beat TVL: Raydium CLMM: Where Fees Beat TVL — and Where They Don’t.
Here’s the opinion you probably won’t see in a Discord: the best LP trades this week are in smaller TVL pools with authentic turnover and middling risk — not the biggest pools, and not the max-risk screamers. Depth is comfort. Turnover is cash flow.
Tactics you can actually run today
- Favor high-turnover, mid-risk pairs: SOL-JTO and SOL-LOOM fit. Scale position size to risk and TVL.
- Treat 500% APR like a sprint: Rotate in, clip fees, rotate out. Use cancels and alerts (yes, really).
- Avoid dead AMMs: If volume is $0–$1K on tens of thousands in TVL, you are subsidizing quotes. Fee APR 0.0% says it plainly.
- Stage capital in a safe bucket: When you’re flat, park in something like tGBP-USDC (risk 30/100) until your next entry.
- Mind correlation: If you run two SOL-quote pools, your inventory risk stacks. Balance with a stable-quote pair when possible.
- Use a “fee-first” exit: Pre-commit to taking chips off when realized fees hit a threshold, regardless of unrealized PnL drift.

What to watch over the next 24 hours
- Turnover persistence: Does SOL-JTO hold anywhere near 38.0x, or does it halve? If it halves, your fee APR will too.
- Risk normalization: If PURPS-SOL drops from risk 100/100 to something in the 70s while holding double-digit turnover, it graduates from “trap-watch” to “scalp-only”.
- Depth changes: A sudden TVL jump into any of the 500% pools will cushion fees per dollar. Great for the pool, worse for your unit economics.
- Flow arriving on dead AMMs: SOL-SolARBa, PAJAMAS-SOL, SHIT-SOL, SOL-CHAOS, BOOP-USDC all need real traders to show up. If they do, fees can come alive quickly. Until then, they’re capital sinks.

FAQ
Why do all these pools show the same 100/100 farmer score?
Because farmer score reflects recent fee intensity, not longevity or safety. All ten pools printed strong enough fee conditions to max that metric. The tie then breaks on turnover quality and risk, which is why we order by volume-to-TVL and haircut by the risk reading.
Is a 500.0% fee APR ever sustainable?
Yes, but only for short windows. It typically comes from high two-way flow through concentrated ranges on CLMMs or dynamic AMMs during volatile sessions. When volatility or flow dispersion fades, the number compresses quickly. Think sprints, not marathons.
What makes a “trap” despite a big APR?
Three giveaways: maxed risk (like 100/100), near-zero dispersion of flow (one-sided prints), or a sudden TVL surge that dilutes fees per dollar. PURPS-SOL fits the first case today. The fix is sizing small, using alerts, and exiting when turnover fades.
Why rank a low-income stable pair like tGBP-USDC at all?
Because positioning is part of PnL. A safe, low-risk parking spot lets you avoid subsidizing dead AMMs while you wait for real flow elsewhere. It’s not for income, it’s for staging and risk control between rotations.
How do I act on this daily without babysitting all day?
Pre-define your range widths, fee targets, and stop-outs; then set alerts for volume spikes or TVL jumps. Use live boards like Best Solana pools and auto-alerts via AI Signals to cut monitoring time. If you can’t check in at least a few times a day, skip the sprint pools.
Are AMMs or CLMMs better for this week’s conditions?
CLMMs typically outperform when turnover is high within narrow price bands, because you can concentrate exposure where trades occur. Static AMMs need broad, continuous flow. Given today’s numbers, the paying pools are mostly CLMMs for a reason.
