Understanding Meteor Pools in Solana: Liquidity Mining and Token Bridging
Episode Overview
In this episode, we explore the unique aspects of liquidity mining in Solana's Meteor Pools, comparing it to other blockchains. We also discuss the bridging of the Q&T token from Injective to Solana, highlighting the benefits and potential risks involved.
Key Points Discussed
- Liquidity Mining in Solana: The episode emphasizes how liquidity mining in Solana differs from other blockchains, particularly in terms of volume and fees. Solana's Meteor Pools allow for higher trading volumes, which can lead to greater rewards for liquidity providers. For a deeper understanding of liquidity mining, check out our Comprehensive Guide to Liquidity Mining on Binance Smart Chain.
- Bridging Q&T Token: The process of bridging the Q&T token from Injective to Solana is explained, including the advantages of doing so, such as lower fees and higher potential returns. This topic is closely related to the broader concepts of decentralized finance, which you can explore in our Understanding Decentralized Finance (DeFi): A Comprehensive Guide to Earning Opportunities.
- Impermanent Loss: The risks associated with providing liquidity, especially with meme tokens, are discussed. The importance of monitoring token values to mitigate impermanent loss is highlighted. For more insights on managing risks in liquidity mining, refer to our Current Crypto Portfolio Update and Liquidity Mining Strategies.
- Demo and Practical Examples: A live demo showcases the bridging process and how to provide liquidity in Meteor Pools, illustrating the potential for earning fees in a short time frame.
Important Concepts to Understand
- Liquidity Pools: Understanding what liquidity pools are and how they function is crucial for grasping the content of this episode.
- Decentralized Exchanges (DEX): Familiarity with DEX and how they operate will enhance comprehension of the discussed topics. For a practical guide on DEX operations, see our Comprehensive Guide to Polygon DeFi: Wallet Setup, Transactions, and Yield Farming.

FAQs
-
What are Meteor Pools in Solana?
Meteor Pools are liquidity pools in the Solana blockchain that allow users to provide liquidity for trading and earn fees. -
How does liquidity mining in Solana differ from other blockchains?
Solana offers higher trading volumes and lower fees, which can lead to greater rewards for liquidity providers compared to other blockchains. -
What is the Q&T token?
The Q&T token is a cryptocurrency associated with the Injective ecosystem, which can be bridged to Solana for liquidity mining. -
What is impermanent loss?
Impermanent loss refers to the potential loss in value that liquidity providers may experience when the price of tokens in a liquidity pool changes significantly. -
How can I bridge tokens from Injective to Solana?
Tokens can be bridged using the Wormhole Bridge, which allows for the transfer of tokens between the Injective and Solana blockchains. -
What are the risks of providing liquidity in Meteor Pools?
Risks include impermanent loss, especially with volatile tokens, and the potential for low trading volume affecting fee generation. -
How can I monitor my liquidity mining rewards?
Users can track their rewards through the respective DEX platforms and wallets, which display unclaimed fees and token values.
uh welcome to the episode 73 so today's episode we're going to be talking about the meteor pools in Solana uh and why uh
liquidity fing in in Solana especially for the new tokens that get launched is different from the liquidity forming or
the liquidity options that we've seen in the other blockchain so I I've been making uh passive income videos using
liquidity mining using decentralized Finance for uh almost two years now 2 plus years now today we'll talk about
the Solana Meteora pool options and how it is different from the other blockchains along with that there is a
connected topic which is basically bridging one of the tokens from injective which is a mem token q& for
injective qu and we'll talk about the success of the q&t token as well as how to bridge it from injective to Solana
and what are the benefits and advantages if you're are bridging it from injector to Solana and we'll probably do a full
demo in the video and uh after bridging it you know what can we do with the q& token so as usual
disclaimer warnings I'm not a financial adviser I'm not an investment expert all of these videos I'm doing it just to
share the learning experiences that I've gained over a uh number of years right now so again uh one of the important
points I keep mentioning is never send your money to anyone who calls professional broker investment adviser
all of them are frauds and they'll Target you in emails and comments and they will use sometimes even use my name
never ever send your money or crypto to anyone else it's your your money and you invest it uh I do not have any telegram
groups or closed groups at the moment you know there's a lot of misinformation that can easily be spread in a Clos
group like a WhatsApp group or telegram group so everything that I post I posted publicly on Twitter and I'm active on
the handle at theate Shen to London I'll give you the links to it if you want to follow me and if you follow my Twitter
account you'll get a lot more updates much quicker and much easier and uh not only me but uh you know all the other
crypto information will get it much faster so before we go into today's video
there's some prerequisite knowledge that I expect you to have then it'll make much more sense in terms of what I'm
talking about so if you have not watched the video it'll be difficult to understand some of the concepts like
decentralized exchange what is liquidity pool what does it mean by providing and removing liquidity fee rewards from
liquidity pools what does a form mean um and what is impermanent loss these are some of the key components or key topics
um that key uh points that we going to be referring back in this video and if you do not understand this it'll be
really difficult and these are at least this is one video that I would suggest um that would give you some basic
knowledge on these Concepts and it's available in both English and Tam so is episode 24 I'll give you the links to
these videos as well I'll give you the links to all of the key blockchain videos that have made but these uh few
videos that I'm going to be referring to will be very important for you to uh watch and then only this video will make
a lot more sense because we'll be referring back to the concepts of liquidity Mining and providing liquidity
and Etc and also uh pre knowledge for um Solana so I have posted about uh um injected blockchain and about the Solana
blockchain so you know what is Solana what is injective blockchain how do you install cap wallet from injective
blockchain transferring funds into injective how do you use injective D apps decentralized applications and same
thing about Solana again you know how do you use Soul flare Phantom wallet how do you transfer fun into Solana using the
decentralized applications on Solana I've done demos on this and I've also briefly introduced what is BM hole
bridge in one of my previous videos so uh again I'll I'll give you the links for these videos so episode 63 is the
video where I have done a full demo of what is injective how do you set up the KLA wallet and how do you actually uh
stake injective on the Capal wallet or on injective blockchain how can you transfer funds into the injective
blockchain from either a centralized exchange or directly getting onto decentralized exchange I've also done uh
a video in episode 68 about how you can set up the uh Solana wallets like you know Soul flare or uh Phantom wallet for
the example the video is available in this video but it's not available in English yet but it'll be quite useful if
you go into the video because in that video I've explained with a demo u in English the content uh is in Tamil but
but the slides are in English which you can make use of it and you can look at the demo which helps you easily
understand if you followed my previous videos you'll be able to easily install Solon wallet soulflow wallet and Phantom
wallet and again in episode 69 I've talked about what is briefly what is warhole bridge in today's video we'll
probably uh be able to uh see it in demo we'll do a we'll use one of the waro bridges and we'll take one token from
one blockchain into the other blockchain but in general we talked about it in the previous videos so again um these are uh
topics that I have touched upon in Twitter in English and I posted detailed uh content the same content that I'm
going to explain today I posted it as a detailed thread in Twitter um you know in October 19 I kind of created a brief
demo but that demo was in uh Tamil so today that demo I'm going to actually translated it in English but the content
of the video has already been posted in English in Twitter and I'll share these links as well in terms of you know what
is a meteor pool and and how you can even on top of meteor pool how you can use automation on metor pool I posted
those as well uh in Twitter before itself now what is the difference between um uh the other blockchains
compared to Sol right and why we need to be using or what is the advantage of using Sol and especially in met report
so you know with some of the other blockchains the volume is significantly different uh in vol as in Sol as
compared to the other uh blockchains and this is a big game changer with regards to liquidity mining so in Sol especially
some of the uh the mean tokens the volume of those tokens exceed the volume of tokens in the other blockchain like
one day volume in Sol can exceed the volume of the whole year in the other blockchains and this is very important
I'll show you with an example as to why this is important uh and also the fees is very less so you can actually trade
with even much lesser fees so compare a scenario one where you're providing a liquidity of $100 and if the volume in
the whole year is about $10,000 if you're the only person that is providing the liquidity and the fees is 1% then
the total fees is $100 and your fees is also $100 so you provide a liquidity of $100 on the 1 person fees the volume of$
10,000 you get $100 apy is $100 so in one year you put $100 you got $100 in fee
AP is $100 if there are 50 people in the same scenario if there are 50 people then of that $100 you will only get $2
let's say equally everyone is provided equal liquidity right so then you will get only $2 means the API is only 2% so
in one year out of the $100 you provided you will get only $2 so for you to get that $100 in fees like we did in
scenario one if there are 50 people and the volume needs to then go up to $500,000 so uh it needs to go up by that
many number of times as many number of people are there so the volume needs to be $500,000 for you to get or the total
fees to be $5,000 and for the 50 people to then get $100 each so that API can still remain at 100% so here you can
understand the volume is really important if the volume had stayed as equivalent in the scenario one in
scenario 2 then you are your rewards would have dropped from you know what it could be $100 to about $2 so this is
which is what you see in typical blockchains you see scenario 2 and the scenario 3 the last one is supposed to
be scenario 3 that's a small type so that is why the the uh volume is important but what the other blockchains
do to compensate for this is they have the farming rewards so we spoken about in episode 25 for example we spoke spoke
about pancakes F and uh we've spoken about VVS Finance we spoken about Dojo so what these uh blockchains or what
these Dex platforms do is they have f fing rewards on top of the fee rewards so you provide Equity take that like LP
token and then you farm it in another uh Farm which will then give you a VVS token or a cake token or a doer token
which is basically uh their own token and it can have uh depreciation of the of the price over a period of time
because of the um excessive uh quantity that gets produced on a daily basis inflationary mechanism of these tokens
the while the the available token will will keep going up which means that uh we need to do something like a mercenary
forming technique where you have to harvest those rewards on a daily basis in VVS or cake or dojo and convert it
into usdt or you know whatever tokens you want but in Solana if you provide a token as say let's say render andall if
you provide liquidity the the rewards that the fee rewards that you'll get will be in render and Sol which means
that you're not getting it in you know a farm token which is going to be inflationary you are actually getting
the rewards in the same token that you provided liquidity so which means that there is no need for us to become like a
mercenary forming technique where you have to harvest it you have to convert it into uh a usdt or a cro or or
whatever uh know token that we providing so you're not being uh affected by an inflationary nature of the Dex platform
itself uh in terms of having to farm for additional liquidity rewards you able to sustain your liquidity using the
liquidity fees itself that is the main difference between and the other blockchains so uh for an example right
you know we consider the option where uh the volume is like you know in one year volume is about
$500,000 where let's say 100 people are provided which means that uh you are getting in in the whole of the year uh
if let's say 100 people are providing and the fees is 0.2% then you'll be getting about $10
now the difference in salana is that the fees can go up to 5% as well so but if we consider even 2% fees uh and in some
of the examples you will see that you know there are multiple options available so but in other blockchains
the fees will be like as low as 0.2% so the same liquidity if you're providing it in Solana and the fees is
2% the volume is going to be in one day it can do like I said the volume that other blockchains achieve in one year
which means that if you provide $100 you could probably get $100 in fees in one day itself this is what I'm going to do
a demo and then you'll see for yourself you know I'll do a live actual demo and you'll be able to see it a few points to
notice that we are going to be mainly talking about in this video about meme tokens and one portion of the token is
going to be in the meme so if that Meme token's value goes up then your trading fee value also goes up as a result but
if the meme token value falls down potentially you'll have a high impermanent loss where everything will
get converted into one meme token and your salana will also fully get it converted into the other meme token so
you do have to monitor it quite regularly and the liquidity when conditions are not favorable right so
there's also one more talk discussion going on that it's not it's not very guaranteed but there is a discussion
going on that there will be a potential add drop at some point for matura uh there's a token called me that met token
that is being proposed again uh there's no conclusive uh guarantee that there will be a so add drop but that is also
another advantage that is being circulated again like I said one big warning again before we go into the
video uh impermanent loss option is very very high so for example if you put $50 of mem token $50 of Solona uh all your
um uh the entire liquidity can get converted the $100 liquidity can get converted into Your Meme token and the
meme token could go to zero so I've always said that you know Meme tokens you know when we spoken about previous
meme tokens meme tokens can easily go to zero so your entire liquidity can go to zero before any trading fees have even
got generated so this is again very very important to pick the tokens based on the stability and I will share what
options I am using to pick the tokens on based on volume social media presence tvl which is total volume lock total
value lock which is very important again this is just my strategy that I'm sharing you can you know adapt a
different strategy based on you know what works for you so what I do is I go to bird eyso then you filter on salana
and you you do explore uh and find gems option and go to most view in this you know some of the parameters that I'm
using is minimum 5 million volume 24hour volume is minimum 5 million and minimum 50,00,000 in total value law which means
that uh uh that many uh people have put in that much of uh total value into liquidity already so liquidity is
already around you know $100,000 and preferably you know you could set a minimum liquidity of
$500,000 already being provided for this token which means that the likelihood of this token going to zero is probably far
lesser a couple of examples that I'm going to be using this video are one is go token
uh which was at 14 million tvl and $145 million 24 volume and next the other one is AI cry not which is$ 34 $300,000 tvl
and about $9 million is 30X volume right so uh before we go into met pools I want to talk about radium uh which is one of
the decentralized exchanges in salana and for estblished tokens like the render token for example which I've
talked about a lot which is a hodal token um we will be using we should be using rather radium pools and I use
radium pools um for the established tokens like render and Sol so as you can see there's a concentrated liquidity
section and if you can find your token under the concentrated liquid liquidity section of radium this is probably a
better place than meteor pool in terms of volume for the established tokens so for example um my render tokens and my
salon tokens a portion of it I am providing liquidity using the radium option rather than the meteor appol
options for mean tokens is there I will be going into the meteor appol option so uh I go to the liquidity concentrated
click on deposit and you would have seen this in number of examples so you choose the uh you connect the wallet and then
you provide it in equal values in terms of you know Sola render this is a normal liquidity process that uh we do but the
difference here is again the volume and even though the the fees here is 0.25% uh the volume would actually mean
that you will be getting a decent uh liquidity mining fees and we don't need an additional farm for getting any
additional rewards so uh what we'll do is we'll click on connect so you can either use the Phantom wallet or you can
use the soul wallet in this example I've already um I've got already Soul flare wallet install like I said in my video
we are assuming here at this point of time that Soul flare wallet is already installed so now I'm going to uh go to
met pools and met pools uh you can see I'm I'm using one of the examples where uh I've already provided liquidity for
um Ai codde and go here so if I go to the AI cry node and goat uh you can see that uh my unclaimed swap fee is already
showing up so uh I provided around roughly around you know $100 $82 of liquidity so $40 of a and $40 of Solana
and it has generated uh over a period of 24 hours it has generated uh swap fees and uh you can see the unclaimed swap
fees in the token values in terms of Solana and AI cry note now in the recent updates that M has done you can see the
dollar value of unclaimed swap view as well uh previously it used to be such that that you have to claim the swap
fees only then you will be able to see the dollar equivalent value of the fees that are in unclaimed position so till
you claim it you will not be able to see it so at the moment you can see that uh the pool has got about 30,000 or more or
less 90% isn't already in the meme token and there's only about 01 so left in the uh liquidity pool position perspective
but if I claim the fees um and after you know uh a few seconds of claiming so it'll say executing transactions and
then once transaction is completed uh for a first few seconds it will not reflect but if you wait for a few
seconds that claimed positions dollar value will then start reflecting so as you can see in 24 hours the fee that I
have claimed using this liquidity is about know $82 roughly uh but the meme value meme tokens value keeps going down
so as the total liquidity value which was showing at $82 when the refresh has happened you can see the value has
actually now come down with the regards to the value of a gr so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to swap and
the meme token that Meme token portion that I've claimed I'm going to convert that also into Solana so that you know
uh if the meme tokens value goes down any further at least the fees that I have claimed I able to now convert it
fully into Sol and the total fees that I've claimed is now safe enough that it is fully $82 of fees that I've collected
has now been fully converted into Solana which I can then the total investment that I made I've actually recovered in a
period of 24 hours and the some portion or majority of the portion of the investment is still
remaining the go token as you can see it's in orange color it's not in green color which indicates it has been fully
converted from one position to the other position in terms of AI CR note it got converted into the meme token but here
goat's value has gone up and so the goat tokens had been fully converted to Solana and I can click on uh claim fees
and you can see that the fees will get claimed but um even though I provided let's say $250 of liquidity um I have
probably got you know roughly around know 40 to about $60 to $70 in liquidity and the liquidity mining has stopped
because one portion has fully got converted into the other token so only when you have at least some portion of
one of the token left uh when we we add position We'll add 5050 percentage but right now because everything has been
converted into one side token if it is not in green that means that it is no longer generating any liquidity so the
goat position or the goat liquidity is no longer generating any liquidity for me and so uh that you can see when you
click on it you'll be able to see whether it's going into the meme token position or whether it has going into
the uh the Sol position or the uh whatever the other side of token that you're providing so right now uh what I
can do is I can go to smap and I can select the the go tokens and I can see it's about $44 so I'm going to I can
swap it to the Sol tokens now the one thing to notice the the value of the token can either go up or down so in in
this case you know the token that I'm swapping goat uh was around 40 cents or 50 cents which is why 100 goat tokens
was about $44 but the go tokens value from October to November had gone up nearly $1 so that if I had not swapped
would have been around U roughly you $100 plus so as I said b.so and go to find gems explore find gems and uh I use
the most viewed option in fine uh gems uh tab so here uh if you click on the the most VI then you can then uh look at
uh the volume 24hour volume and the tvl in one page and it'll show you the top 15 or 20 trending tokens so as you can
see uh the goat token is on the top uh it's got about you know $14 million in terms of the tvl and a c not is sitting
here it's about $300,000 in tvl and it's about $9 million in the uh 24hour volume which is the 30 times difference that I
was talking about earlier when we started this demo right so that is one reason why I had picked it up so it's
kind of fitting into my parameter of you know above 100,000 in terms of tvl and uh above $5 million in terms of the
total volume uh 24hour volume right so which is which means that it's about 30 times the uh tvl is being traded and
which means that whatever liquidity you're providing you are expecting more uh fees out of it because the higher the
ratio of tvl to the 24hour volume the higher the fees is going to be for the liquidity that you are going to provide
this is what we have explained using the examples as well so again but if you see the price uh for AI gr node in the last
24 hours it has dropped about 34% whereas goat in the last 24 hours it has gone up by about 75% which is why
the go tokens were fully converted into Solana and as you can see uh $14 million is the tvl and $150 million is the
24-hour volume so about 10 times the total volume or total value lock has been the uh 24-hour volume there are
some tokens as you can see it's like you know the volume as well as the total value locked is very very less so these
are highrisk tokens and and very easy that it can actually go to zero because the total value lock is very negligible
as compared to the other tokens that we've just seen and the volume is also not that great so even though it's a
number one trending token the parameters that you need to be I mean I see at least is the total value logged on the
24hour volume not the parameter which is saying you know whether it's the number one trending tokens that could be bought
activity which is actually increasing why the token has gone to number one so gcat was not one of the tokens that I
would have provided liquidity for in that scenario now menusa is another token that I provided liquidity on and
as you can see the the 24hour volume um compared to the tvl lock is also higher for Medusa as well right so what we'll
be doing in this video now is we'll take this token and we'll provide liquidity we provide new liquidity and show you
you know how uh liquidity can be provided so go to meteor pools copy the uh the the uh token address and go to
the metor pool under dmmm uh Dynamic liquidity and select the option which is giving you the highest 24hour uh fees
per tvl so uh the top one gives me the highest 24hour fees so selected it and I go to swap and I can uh swap here itself
I can connect the uh the uh wallet here in Materia pools itself and I can swap here itself I can swap my Solana to
Medusa token here itself on the uh medor pool or I can go into another decentralized uh um exchange like
Jupiter for example and swap it there but right now I have the option to swap so I'm actually swapping about you know
uh $ 20 $25 roughly about 0.15 Sol I'm draw I'm converting it it is now got converted into Medusa so now click on
ADD position and I click on Max and if you use the autofill option the Solana will automatically be the amount of Sol
will automatically be filled up now to provide the liquidity to create the position you need about 06 Sol as fees
and which is refundable so when you create the position over and above the Sol that you're providing to to add to
the liquidity there is also an additional Sol of 06 that is needed so if you have uh if you don't have 06 left
in the uh wallet then it will not be possible to add liquidity so make sure that you have at least 02 Solana left in
the wallet over and above the Solana that you are adding to create the liquidity so now I clicked on ADD
liquidity and it sometimes it takes about 5 6 seconds sometimes take about 10 seconds as well and transaction if it
fails you just need to keep retrying the transaction because uh there's always a congestion option again immediately
after providing liquidity when transaction status is completed if nothing appears on the screen uh don't
worry because once the transaction is completed for your screen to refresh it could take like you know up to a minute
sometimes so now you can see the liquidity has been provided and your Medusa and Sola balance is displayed and
if you uh you know keep looking at it after a few minutes you can start to see the slowly depending upon the volume you
can start to see slowly the U fees starts increasing now um one of the things with
regards to uh the the meme tokens is that you will find liquidity is there in uh in Radium as well but not under the
concentrated section but under the standard section so even though it is saying the APR is 2498 for more than a
day I've given liquidity of let's say $45 and I can't see any rewards being uh harvested or any rewards being aced so
providing liquidity on on uh radium pools is not a good option for meme tokens foras for established tokens that
is a great option the same liquidity when I provide it in material PO for the same token toen even though the volume
is showing as higher on a radium pool and the APR is showing higher on a radium pool we are not getting any
benefits or at least I have not seen fees being generated on the standard pools of uh radium whereas in uh meta
you will immediately start to see the uh fees getting generated now the Medusa uh pool option that we've just added you
can start to see the fees is already started getting generated so that is as as easy as uh adding liquidity and you
can start looking at the fees that is getting generated again with all the warnings that you know the token prices
fluctuate very very rapidly which means that your tokens can either go to one side which is Solana or the tokens could
go to the meme token itself if it goes to Solana it's fine at least your know because the Solana price is more or less
stable or keeps going up in this uh cycle but if it goes to the meme token and the meme token can actually go to
zero value that is one thing that we need to uh keep mindful of so again you know there is no hard and fast
tool as to how often you need to keep uh harvesting your rewards but you know I would say you know once you make like 20
to $30 you can probably start harvesting it and uh it's also a good idea in my opinion uh I which is what I do to
convert the uh the meme token portion of the feast like for example if Medusa I can convert the meme token portion of
the Medusa into Solana so that at least one side of the U uh free Fe is I mean the fees that you are earning uh is
protected in terms of Solona it's like converting it into USD it's almost like the concept of what we do with regards
to the um uh VVS token or cake token for example now um like I said the three tokens that I talked about in this video
goat Ai kode and uh the Meda tokens uh over a period of one month uh the the goat token price had actually doubled so
you know that that uh 100 uh tokens that I had got for go if I kept it and not sold it I mean instead of $40 that I
converted it would be $90 now but AI cryo price had remained pretty much the same so there was not much of a risk but
the last token Medusa token that we were demonstrating for the demo purposes that had lost about 90% of the value it was
about 9 and it's now about 90% less at7 so if this had happened the time
when you were providing liquidity then you could have pretty much lost the entire liquidity that you provided so
again that's the balance of the risk there okay so now we talk about the Q token uh and uh this is from the project
of injected qus now if you've been following me uh on Twitter and and all the social media post back in Feb I
posted about the uh qu token uh sale and at that point of time this token s was on Meo finance and it was from February
22nd to February 26 it lasted for 4 days where you could have actually uh put some amount in and you could have got
the co token now Co token immediately after the sale got completed on the 26th of February uh it pumped nearly about 60
times the price and it stayed about 30 times the price uh and even at that point of time it posted saying the price
has actually jumped about 60 times and it's still staying at about 30 times and I did uh take some profits at that point
itself immediately I had taken some profits and I did post about it saying that I had taken about 30% roughly I had
taken profits out of it because it had gone up nearly you know 60 times and and it even at the minimum profit levels it
was staying at about 30 times the profit now I call this the most successful launch ever on the injective ecosystem
the reason is uh injective coins as an NF itself was given free to anyone who bought the first injector which was
premiers I think we've talked about it on episode 65 in terms of the the nft itself but the co token was a gated sale
for anyone who own the injected Co nft on 22nd of February if you had the nft then you will be able to participate in
the sale depending upon how many nfts you have you'll be able to put that much amount into the um uh the nft or into
the token uh purchase or the the launch uh option so nft uh if you never owned the nft or if you never got it free like
me then you could have still bought the nft which I what I explained during those days but the nft price was really
high it's about 14 at that point of time which meant that um at that price on on that day's price you probably needed
about $550 as an entry point itself to get into the token launch so um in fact
these token price launches probably led the inj recovery to about $50 of the point of time Point price on launch was
0012 and price today when I made this video last week it was about 029 which is a 240x increase at that point of time
but because of the over subscription uh for every nft holder they were allowed only about they were allocated only
about 6.7 even if you put $100 you were allocated only about $6.7 rest of the money was uh returned back and this was
allocated in the form of Q tokens and q& inj tokens inj liquidity Cod tokens so the the number of q&t tokens were
allocated was 28,000 per nft and the lp tokens that were given was 22.57380 point2 cents but when I made
the video last week it was almost touching an all-time high of 0.03 3 cents and the liquidity pool
option was about $ 6.62 so that 6 $7 if you had participated in the launch um for it was available for 4 days and had
you put in you know even $10 into it you would have being allocated $6.7 for every nft that you had held so for this
what is the current return of investment right so the 28,000 q&t tokens at today's price would be about
$812 and the 22 uh LP tokens had you not withdrawn your LP you know it's currently worth about $
6.62 which means that that's another1 $49 if you had withdrawn it and converted everything into q& tokens then
it would have mean even more higher but if you keep it at that level then the current value is about
$961 and assuming the fact that we spent about $6.7 and converting it into $961 that is
about know 4,349 per which is 140 times the overall return of investment for the Qin token I
don't think there's any other token that had done as well as the Q token and again not only that um on over
and above these you know token prices and everything that we talking about uh injector Quant you know still kept
giving uh more and more add drops for Premier ninjas holders injective coins holders and other ecosystem holders and
so the total number of tokens that they had provided just by holding uh qry tokens or the injector Quant nfts were
even higher so you know you probably can assume that you know another uh at least $100 or $200 worth of q& was provided
free of cost because there was about $18 per nft uh at that point of time but that 2,000 uh q&t tokens would be worth
at the price that uh you know we were talking about in the video 3 cents it would have been worth about $60 so again
this is why while the main tokens you know still remain the main focus the return of investment sometimes from
these meme tokens the add drops for nfts could be significantly higher so slowly uh q&t token had been rising and um even
though there's probably a retrace at this point of time when I'm making the video on 30th of November uh the
expectation is that on the long run injective significant uh when injector goes on a significant run the q& tokens
or all the ecosystem tokens go could also potentially go on a run so um in back in you know August
September I had posted about the D5 opportunities on injective itself so on on mof finance which is one of the
decentralized exchanges of injective ecosystem injective blockchain uh I posted that you could provide liquidity
for injective q& and there was a farm that was there because the fee itself wasn't as rewarding there was a farm
that was created by Meto finance that f is no longer there so there's no APR being generated on injective ecosystem
right now but if you provideed liquidity for injective and quent uh then MTO Finance provid Ed a farm where they
providing rewards in the form of injective Quant itself or in the form of Quant Quant token itself so that AP at
that point of time was nearly 100% because uh providing about roughly 200 $2,300 of liquidity uh over a period of
two months heed about $230 now let's compare that to Solana in a in a few minutes but before that uh let's talk
about the idea that uh q&t token uh injected qu had proposed late in October say
that um they were trying to bridge using warm hole they were trying to bridge the q& token from injector into Solana again
the uh the summary was same token and there'll be no new tokens that are getting created it's using Wormhole
Bridge which means the total Supply will remain the same injector will still remain the home uh but they were trying
to use the Solana's higher volume and higher arage and bring the trading fees back into injective so they also um as a
community token they also asked for like you know uh Solona donations and I thought it was a really good idea and
something different that an injective ecosystem token or injective ecosystem project was doing so I immediately sent
one Sol in today's value it's about $250 worth of uh token I I also contributed like me many others had contributed
small uh values into this this idea I think you know one of the reasons probably injected qu wanted to do this
was they wanted more people to own the idea itself of bridging to Solana so they collected about roughly about 200
solanas about $50,000 uh they collected as as donations uh or you know um people pitching into the idea to say that yes
you know we would like to try this idea and see how it works which is again one of the reasons because you know I was
West I was putting my funds into it probably the first time that I had done something like this where I had
contributed funds into a a decentralized project asking for funds from the users um which is again one of the reasons I
was you know constantly providing updates to say that you know I was eagerly waiting for the Quin token
bridge to happen to Sal and also try and see if providing liquidity in meteor pools like I had explained if I'm
getting same kind of results that I'm getting from the normal Solana mean tokens finally um on on 22nd of November
the bridge was open and I on Twitter I immediately shared my initial feedback within a few uh minutes or probably you
know just an hour of the bridge being open I provided I I um used the bridge option and I provided my initial
feedback that you know bridging experience was great but I also provided my you know small concerns that you know
what if the volume dies back you know um that was one of my main concerns but you know if the volume stayed I was just
expecting that uh the the options that we had seen in metor would fully materialize for the current token itself
but at least for the first day I was expecting the volume to be significantly higher so I wanted to have the bridge
experience and and Bridge it into salana and provide liquidity and see how it goes with regards to providing liquidity
so um now that you got the concept of what injective qu token was and the advantage of going to Solon and the fee
options that are available in Solana now we'll probably what we'll do is we'll do a demo of bridging from injector into
Solana add the uh Quant token into a Mata pool in Solana blockchain and we'll see how much fees gets generated
depending upon the volume now one advice one uh disclaimer is that when we made this video that was the first days the
volume was really higher the volume has significantly died down but before we do that let's just make let's just throw
some questions which will get answered in this video because these are the questions that I kept getting asked if
I'm a qent token holder how does this benefit me and what happens if I don't Bridge what am I missing if I don't
Bridge right so these are the questions that I Tred to answer in the demo and again this needed this context to bring
it into light so you go to bridge. inc. Network mbridge I'll give you the link uh for all of this in the video
description and uh not just q&t token but in a few other tokens were also enabled but probably only q& token had
as much as a connect uh at least on the first day uh unfortunately it doesn't recognize Soul flare so you probably
need a Fantom wallet so even though I had Soul flare uh the injector Bridge currently does not um recognize or
connect to Sol flare so it asked me to install Phantom so I had to install Phantom on the uh um browsers where I
only had soulare for example or I had to use a phantom option but the the download install Phantom option is given
there so again Phantom is just another wallet just very similar to Soul F so I've got 2,000 uh injective Co in this
uh demo wallet here and so what I'll do is uh I'll make sure that I've got both the injective uh ecosystem and the solar
ecosystem connected and I've got about $80 worth of um Solana here and about 2,000 Quant here which is roughly about
$60 so now I'll go to the bridge and I will uh I I'll initially do a refresh because if you've never had Phantom uh
you probably need to do a refresh so that it can recognize Phantom and it can connect to Phantom so you'll connect to
both the KLA wallet for injector and you'll also connect to the Phantom wallet for Solon so you're connecting to
two wallets so one wallet is Kepler for injective another wallet is phantom for Solana that is how you'll be able to
bridge from injective into Sol now as soon as I connected it is showing my 2,000 uh injective con tokens it is
showing it in the in the bridge option um so what I'm going to just check is that I'm going to just check the the
Solon address is the same as what is mentioned in the receiver uh and just making sure that the address is exactly
the same now I'm going to select uh 2,000 tokens uh fully here I've got 2,000 tokens on on my uh injected wallet
I'm going to select all 2,000 tokens I'm going to click on transfer now uh it ask for about four or five approvals and
small fees in all of the approval stages overall I think the total uh fees was roughly around you know uh less than 50
cents but I just wanted to show you the number of times that it asks for for a bridge like this the number of times
that it asks for uh fee transaction so um first time it asks for like 02 Sol uh click on confirm and I'm I'm pretty much
I recorded this in real time with the time option there so you can understand how quickly the whole bridging
experience uh is is is uh completed because sometimes ethereum bridging for example can take up to 30 minutes uh
even so I wanted to show the warm hole option how fast the warhole option in terms of bridging from injective into
Sol and you can do the other side as well you can bring from Solana into injective as well so again uh this is
the second time that is asking for a fee and even though the network fee is very less the Solana fees was originally 02
now it is again 01 um again it is asking for a third typ is asking for a network fees but Network
fees is kind of negligible it is like less than 01 cents I would say so uh so far I've given three approvals and all
three approvals has been on the Solona wallet now again it asked 02 so in total it is so far as for 05 Sol I would say
um and there been three approvals now the final approval or hopefully the final approval the fourth approval where
it is uh saying that 2,000 q& tokens is going to get added to my Solona uh wallet or the Phantom wallet so I click
on confirm and so far all the four approvals that I've done have been on the Phantom wallet I've been on the uh
Solona side so finally when all the uh wallet transfers I mean wallet approvals have complete after four approvals my
tokens will then get transferred from injector into Solana so now I go to the b.so I can look at the the Solana
contract and Solana's token name in um b.so is q& token but with a bracket of warhole token so which means that it's a
bridge token which we'll be able to uh see and you can see the price is almost going at the same rate as compared to
the injective option there's not too much of a variation in terms of the Arbitrage so I go to the metor pool
again I'll give the link to this as well so I can see that there is about $3,500 already tvl provided and there is uh
decent volume that is building up so I click on connect on the um uh Phantom wallet um because I have used I have
actually transferred the q& tokens to Phantom wallets here so previously we were using soulare wallet just to say so
now I go to the uh the pull option and I go down and I click on um uh as usual like what we have done click on the add
liquidity so my q& token balance should appear here uh from the bridged q& token and my Solana balance is appearing now
I'll just provide half the q& token so even though you can Bridge 2,000 tokens you don't need to provide liquidity for
all of it uh I'm just showing this as an example that you can provide liquidity for whatever uh quantity that you want
to provide liquidity for there's no need for you to provide liquidity on the entire rate this applies to all meme
tokens not just q& and I just compare the price because the price is showing in Sol I just compare the price to what
is there in B.O making sure that it's not too different from the b.so price so uh finally I click on uh add liquidity
and as I said the Solana needed to create a position the refundable Solana need to create a position is about 06
Sol and once you close the position that refundable option that refundable Sol will get refunded to you so even though
the Sol that I'm providing liquidity for is only 0.13 for the uh the the uh 06 added to it I'm
providing roughly around 0.19 to Solona and q& tokens I'm I'm providing about 1,000 q& tokens so again it takes about
a few seconds and the uh Solana liquidity U the liquidity for q& tokens to Solon has been completed and like I
said before in my previous example it takes a few seconds for your uh liquidity to appear here so immediately
after providing liquidity if it doesn't appear here uh you know don't get uh tensed but it just takes a few seconds
for the dollar value to start appearing in your in your liquidity section so um now as you can see the liquidity is
appearing and your current balance uh is starting to appear immediately after providing the liquidity you can see the
unclaimed swap fee has started generating that is because the volume on that day was quite good there was decent
volume that was going on so um if the volume dies down then you will not see unclaimed swap fees or you will not see
the swap Fe being increasing but as you can see $60 that we provided and immediately after providing within a few
seconds 4 cents of swap fees got generated position that I've just to show a demo of how a new position would
look like now um I will show you overnight what had happened uh for the Q token position that I had provided in
one of my other wallets so um I'll just switch to the other wallet where I already provided
the q& and Solana position and we'll see how much fees has been generated in a 24-hour period so here I provided
roughly around $700 and as you can see um so far I've collected about $160 and you can also see the unclaim
spap Fe the difference between the previous demo and this demo is that over a period of time Mia has done this uh um
Improvement where even unclaimed swap fees dollar value is also visible to you so now I click on claim all fees and uh
once the transaction gets completed that unclaimed swap fee will then now get the dollar values will then get added to the
fees earned or the claim section so roughly about $200 of fees has been claimed over a $700 uh liquidity that
are provided in a 24hour period now if you remember in MTO Finance over a period of 2 months for about three times
the liquidity about $2,300 we were able to generate about $200 in fees um in 2 months but in 24s
in one day uh because of the volume and because of the Solona ecosystem being able to you know provide this get this
fees back to you using Materia as one of the decentralized applications we were able to generate this in fees itself
without any incentivized liquidity Farms using almost onethird of the liquidity so that is the advantage here now uh
part of the liquidity part of the fees that we've claimed obviously it will be in Solana part of the fees that we've
claimed obviously will be in new entry tokens so if you want we can convert that position
convert the q& tokens into Sola immediately or we can leave it in the other uh token if you want to so again
this is just a demo of how to provide new liquidity what were the options now I do not um recommend going and
providing q& um liquidity High q& liquidity to this point because the volume had significantly died down after
I had made this video but the whole concept was the first 24 hours was always going to be useful and and how to
make uh Advantage I mean how to take advantage of when a new token in a new token there is enough support moving
into Solana because I expect lot of other projects will probably try and copy this and this is probably what
you're going to see at least in the first 24 hours where you'll be able to take advantage of the high fees that get
generated now q& project itself has probably provided about $150,000 using the community uh fees that they
collected or the community inputs that they've collected and so if with $700 if I was able to make $200 then the Quint
token uh ecosystem or the project team itself would have made higher fees on the first 24 hours and they brought back
that uh fees into injective and they burned some q&t tokens expecting to have a price increase so all this were
basically momentum uh in increase options or something different that the project team wanted to do so this was
the advantage if you had if you had been a q&t holder and if you don't Bridge nothing happens you know your injective
tokens are uh your q&t tokens are safe in the injective blockchain you are not uh that is not going to go away there's
no loss of funds for you on the injective ecosystem what you will miss out if you don't bridge is that in the
first 24 hours as you can see I was able to earn about you know $200 out of a um $700 uh liquidity that I provided my
liquidity is also safe and I was able to get about $200 return in 24 hours which is what I was explaining in Twitter and
I just wanted to make the video so it's clearer as to what are the opportunities out there to uh earn these F fees in the
Solona ecosystem and as compared to injective or the other blockchains you know how uh how much time it takes to
earn the same amount of rewards that we earning in the other blockchains hopefully the video was
useful to you uh until next time thanks bye
