Tracks cumulative revenue growth from each pool's first revenue-generating day, comparing trajectories across all pools over their first 90 days.

Use Cases​

This page helps you:

  • Compare pool performance: See which pools generated revenue fastest from Day 1
  • Analyze growth patterns: Compare steady growers vs. pools with explosive growth or spikes (e.g. from liquidations)
  • Evaluate pool maturity: Track how long it takes pools to reach revenue milestones
  • Benchmark new pools: Compare newer pool trajectories against historical performance
  • Assess pool lifecycle: Understand typical revenue patterns in the first 90 days

How to Read This Chart​

Multi-Line Chart:

  • X-axis: Days since establishment (1-90 days). "Day 1" is the first date a pool generated revenue > 0 (may differ from actual on-chain pool creation date if pool was inactive initially)
  • Y-axis: Cumulative revenue in SOL
  • Lines: One line per pool showing cumulative revenue trajectory
  • Colors: Automatically assigned to each pool
  • Steepest curves: Pools with fastest revenue growth from Day 1
  • Early leaders: Pools that started generating significant revenue immediately
  • Growth patterns: Steady linear growth vs. spikes or exponential curves
  • Final values: Cumulative value at Day 90 shows total revenue over first 90 days

Interactive Features:

  • Days slider: Adjust the time window (7-90 days) to focus on early growth or full lifecycle
  • Pool visibility buttons: "Select All Pools", "Deselect All Pools", or "10 Newest Pools" for quick filtering
  • Default visibility: Pools are hidden by default if their 90-day cumulative revenue is less than 5 SOL, or if they are the two main SOL-USDC pools (Orca (SOL–USDC) and Fusion SOL-USDC) which dominate the scale - use "Select All Pools" to show all pools
  • Hover on lines: See pool name, protocol, day number, date, daily revenue, and cumulative total
  • Click legend: Show/hide individual pools to declutter the view
  • Double-click legend: Isolate a single pool to focus on its trajectory
  • Drag to zoom: Select specific day number ranges or revenue ranges
  • Double-click chart: Reset zoom to the original axis range

Methodology​

Key Concepts

  • Pool Establishment: Defined as the first revenue-generating transaction from the pool
  • Day 1: The first day a pool generated revenue > 0. Revenue below 0.000001 SOL rounds to zero and may cause Day 1 to display 0; the establishment date is still correct
  • Cumulative Revenue: Running total of all revenue generated by the pool since Day 1
  • Time Horizon: First 90 days of each pool's life

Data Source

  • Revenue data is attributed per pool from daily transaction records
  • Pool names follow a standard naming convention based on the token pair and protocol
  • Pools are sorted by all-time total revenue (descending)

Calculation Process (per pool)

  • Identify Establishment Date: Find the first date with revenue > 0
  • Build Daily Series: Track revenue for each day from establishment
  • Calculate Cumulative Total: Sum all revenue from Day 1 to Day N
  • Limit Time Window: Track up to 90 days from establishment

Example

For the Fusion SOL-USDC pool established on 2025-07-31 (values from a point-in-time snapshot; hover over this pool in the chart above for current figures):

Day 1  (2025-07-31):    0.000013 SOL daily →      0.000013 SOL cumulative
Day 2  (2025-08-01):    0.0      SOL daily →      0.000013 SOL cumulative
Day 3  (2025-08-02):    0.000015 SOL daily →      0.000029 SOL cumulative
...
Day 90 (2025-10-28):    8.41     SOL daily →  1,629.56     SOL cumulative

Limitations

  • Establishment Date Accuracy: "First revenue date" may differ from actual pool creation - some pools may have been created but inactive initially; only the first appearance of revenue is detected, not the on-chain pool creation timestamp
  • Data Availability Variance: All pools are capped at 90 days. Newly added pools may have fewer days of data and will show shorter lines on the chart until they reach the 90-day mark.
  • Revenue Attribution: Only revenue with pool attribution is included; some early transactions may lack pool data, and the "unknown_pool" category represents unattributed revenue

Data Update Frequency

Pool ramp-up data is automatically updated once per day. Check the "Last updated" timestamp in the site header for data freshness.
