Dynamic Memecoin Pools

Meteora has launched a new subset of dynamic pools called "Memecoin pools" (or "Meme pools") to support memecoin launches and liquidity.

A memecoin-type dynamic pool has a few unique features specially suited for memecoins:

  • Permanently-locked liquidity with claimable fees: The liquidity you add during pool creation will be permanently locked forever to help raise community confidence, but you can still earn fees on your locked liquidity.

  • Dynamic Fee: Dynamic fee is set by the protocol and ranges from 0.15%-15%. This fee may be changed by the protocol over time to optimize for different market conditions. In addition, LPs earn lending yield from the locked SOL and USDC in the pool.

  • Volume Referral Fee: 20% of the dynamic fee is used as a volume referral fee that goes to integrators or trading bots that bring volume to the pool.

  • Referral Blink: Easily generate a Referral Blink to share on Twitter which enables the referrer to earn fees from referred volume when users swap via the Blink.

  • Tracked by data analytics and trading platforms: Similar to other dynamic pools, memecoin pools are also tracked by Birdeye, DEXScreener, and DEXTools, and trading platforms such as Jupiter. This improves memecoin discoverability by traders, bots, and LPs.

Note: Only the memecoin-type of dynamic pools have dynamic fee and volume referral fee and referral Blinks.

How Memecoin Pool Fees Work

Claim fees from permanently-locked liquidity

Memecoin projects permanently lock liquidity to give traders confidence. However, on most DEX platforms, fees earned by this liquidity are lost, limiting a project's financial options.

On Meteora, when a liquidity provider creates a new memecoin pool, the liquidity provided is automatically sent to a lock token account to be permanently locked. Fees and yield are still claimable by the liquidity provider (the wallet that provided the liquidity) forever.

By allowing creators to earn fees from locked liquidity, a creator can choose to lock up more or all of the supply and earn fees by growing volume instead of selling allocations as a source of funding. We believe this will help more memecoins improve and grow over the long-run by creating long-term alignment between projects and holders.

LPs earn Dynamic Fees

Fees earned by the liquidity provider are determined by the Dynamic Fee set by the protocol and ranges from 0.15%-15% of each swap through the pool. This fee may be changed by the protocol over time to optimize for different market conditions.

Fees collected are also added back to the pool and auto-compound, so the longer you wait to claim the fees the faster your earnings will grow!

Lending Yield

Additionally, memecoin creators that use memecoin pools can earn from both swap fees and lending yield.

As Memecoin pools (and other dynamic pools) are integrated with our dynamic vaults, the locked SOL or USDC portion in the pools are dynamically sent to external lending protocols for lending yield. When trading volume drops, creators will still be able to earn lending yield from their locked USDC or SOL in their pools. Lending yield also auto-compounds.

Volume Referral Fee

20% of the dynamic fee is used as a volume referral fee that goes to integrators or trading bots that bring volume to the memecoin pool. This helps incentivize more integrations with Meteora and consequently increase volume to the pool. The remaining 80% goes to the memecoin pool creator / LPs.

Thanks to Dialect's Blink feature, memecoins launching on Meteora are able to generate referral blinks (blockchain links) on their pools to share across the internet. The aim is to drive volume to the meme pools by incentivizing influencers, KOLs, or meme creators themselves to share the referral blink with their community.

Both creators and referrers will instantly share the fees from any trading that happens on these Blinks. Blink referrers get the volume referral fee if swaps occur on the meme pool using the blink, while creators (the liquidity providers) get the remaining LP fee.

Example:

  • A memecoin pool is created and has an LP fee of 15% of the swap value

    • 20% of this LP fee is awarded to the volume referrer, in this case the blink referrer

    • So if a user swaps using the referred blink, the referrer earns 20% of 15% = 3% fee from the swap

    • Remaining 80% of 15% = 12% goes to liquidity providers

Note: Blink feature is only available for the memecoin-type of dynamic pools.
