When you open the Pools section on STON.fi, you’ll see numbers like TVL, APR, 24h Volume, and My Liquidity.
But what do they actually tell you?
Understanding these metrics can help you see how big a pool is, how active it is, and how its recent activity may translate into fee-based returns.
💰 TVL — How Much Liquidity Is There?
TVL (Total Value Locked) represents the total dollar value deposited in the pool.
Generally, higher TVL means deeper liquidity, which can help support larger swaps with lower price impact.
📈 APR — What Could the Recent Activity Generate?
APR is an annualized estimate based on recent pool activity.
It can change as trading volume, liquidity, fees, and market conditions change.
So remember:
APR is an estimate, not a guaranteed return.
🔄 24h Volume — Is the Pool Active?
24h Volume shows how much trading has happened through the pool over the last 24 hours.
Higher trading activity can generate more swap fees for liquidity providers.
But don't look at volume alone. A pool with high volume and very low TVL can behave very differently from a deep pool with high TVL.
👤 My Liquidity — What Did You Provide?
My Liquidity shows the amount of liquidity you personally provided to the pool.
It helps you quickly track your position and see how much you currently have in that pool.
🧠 How Should You Read Them Together?
Think of it like this:
TVL → How deep is the pool?
24h Volume → How active is it?
APR → What recent activity may translate into annually?
My Liquidity → What's your position?
The important part is not to judge a pool using just one number.
Pool metrics are dynamic, so they can change as liquidity, trading activity, token prices, and market conditions change.
Before providing liquidity, don't just ask “What is the APR?”
Ask:
“How deep is the pool, how active is it, and what is actually driving the return?” 📊
