I Tested STON.fi’s Three New DeFi Tools Before Looking at Liquidity Pools
Whenever I look at liquidity pools, my first instinct is usually to compare APR.
This time I decided to slow down and test STON.fi’s three new DeFi tools first.
I started with the APR Calculator, changing deposit amounts, APR values and investment duration to see how different scenarios affected projected returns.
After that I moved to the Impermanent Loss Calculator.
What I found most useful wasn’t the impermanent loss percentage itself, but the comparison between simply holding the assets and providing them as liquidity.
Seeing both outcomes together made the concept much easier to understand.
Finally, I joined the STON.fi Pools Updates channel.
Instead of opening different pools every day, it keeps me informed through regular APR updates.
After using all three tools together, I don’t think of them as separate features anymore.
They’ve become part of my own process before evaluating liquidity opportunities.
They’re not investment advice, but they’re definitely useful for making more informed decisions.
Liquidity depth plays a critical role in decentralized trading.
It determines how much a trade affects market price. Pools with stronger liquidity allow larger swaps with minimal price movement, while shallow pools experience higher price impact.
When evaluating where to trade, liquidity strength should be considered alongside price.
