LP education · width, delay, presets
Two knobs, one trade. Here is how to turn them on purpose.
The short version
Pick a 2% range instead of 15% and each dollar sits about 7× thicker at the price. But it holds price about 50× shorter.
Width sets that trade. Delay sets how fast you follow price. Presets pick both for you.
202.5× vs 29.1× concentration (6.95×); hold ratio (ln 1.15 ÷ ln 1.02)² = 49.8, whatever the wiggle. Illustrative, not a promise.
1 · Range width
Your deposit earns only while price is inside your range. Narrower packs the same money thicker, so it takes a bigger fee share. It also loses the price sooner.
10% → 42.5× · holds 2.52 days σ 3% a day, example
| Width | Concentration | Average hold (σ 3%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2% | 202.5× | 2.61 hours |
| 5% | 82.5× | 15.87 hours |
| 10% | 42.5× | 2.52 days |
| 15% | 29.1× | 5.43 days |
| 50% | 10.4× | 45.67 days |
2 · Tick math
Price lives on ticks: price = 1.0001tick, so one tick is 0.01%. A range's edges must sit on multiples of the pool's tick spacing. So the narrowest range is one spacing wide.
| Venue · fee tier | Spacing | Narrowest range |
|---|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain · USDG/DELL 1% (live) | 200 | 2.02% |
| Uniswap v3 (e.g. Arbitrum, Base) · 0.01% / 0.05% / 0.3% / 1% | 1 / 10 / 60 / 200 | 0.01% / 0.10% / 0.60% / 2.02% |
| PancakeSwap v3 · 0.01% / 0.05% / 0.25% / 1% | 1 / 10 / 50 / 200 | 0.01% / 0.10% / 0.50% / 2.02% |
| Aerodrome Slipstream · pools are listed by spacing | e.g. 100 | 1.01% |
| Raydium CLMM (Solana) · spacing set per fee config | 1 / 10 / 60 / 120 | 0.01% / 0.10% / 0.60% / 1.21% |
Narrowest = 1.0001spacing − 1. This shows how tick math works on each venue. QuantumPools runs on Robinhood Chain today; there is no QuantumPools vault on Arbitrum, Base or Aerodrome, and Solana support is in development, not live and not audited.
3 · Rebalance delay
The delay is how long price must stay out before an automatic snuggle. Short follows every move. Long skips spikes that snap back, but earns nothing while it waits.
The keeper checks about every 1–3 minutes, best effort, and only with Auto Snuggle on. No snuggle time is guaranteed.
24 h: 5 snuggles · in range 68.8% Synthetic path, illustrative
| Delay | Snuggles in 30 days | Time in range |
|---|---|---|
| 0 h | 52 | 92.8% |
| 4 h | 14 | 81.0% |
| 24 h | 5 | 68.8% |
| 3 days | 3 | 55.2% |
Model: hourly steps, 3% daily wiggle, snuggle once price has been out for the full delay; the new range opens just past price. Not a real price history.
4 · The three presets
The add screen measures the pool's recent volatility and sizes every preset from it. When our optimizer, Quantum Drive, has studied the pool, its picks replace those.
Tighter than Best Fit, on a shorter delay. Densest fees, most snuggles.
Tuned to the pool's measured volatility: a middle band on a middle delay.
Wider than Best Fit, on a longer delay. Stays in range longest, snuggles least.
Examples: what the app's code computes for a 3% daily move on the live spacing-200 pool, before any optimizer picks. The half-widths are 0.9σ, 2.2σ and 3.5σ, snapped to whole spacings. If the optimizer returns one setting, Mad Max takes about half Best Fit's width and Easygoing about double, on shorter and longer delays. The app shows the exact width and delay on each preset.

6 · Try it
Enter the pool's daily move, a width and a delay, or load a preset example.
Days in range: (h ÷ σ)², h = ½ ln(1 + width), from the square law. Concentration: 1 ÷ (1 − (1 + width)−¼). Illustrative, not a promise.
Honest limits
What to do with this
You can now read a preset like a recipe: a width for fee share, a delay for patience.
Start from Best Fit, then ask one question: would you rather earn denser or ride calmer? Nudge width first, delay second. Public deposits are open on the live venues (Robinhood Chain, Base and BNB Chain); see the audit status.
