Orca is a unique protocol centered around a Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker (CLMM) with powerful features that allow users to access constant-product-like functionalities. Orca focuses on creating the most user-friendly environment for traders and LPs of varying experience levels, as well as for ecosystem builders ### [](https://docs.orca.so/#mission) Mission Orca exists to change the way assets are traded, and we are going to effect that change through catalyzing a paradigm shift in how market participants provide liquidity. We strive to make trading more efficient and transparent, expand the scope of what can be traded, and connect people across the globe to coordinate capital in new ways. This vision requires going beyond becoming the dominant liquidity layer for today’s Solana-native assets; it means onboarding much of the legacy financial system as well. This necessitates transforming what that system looks like, not just transposing it on-chain. Orca’s ethos is based on 3 Ps: professional, principled and playful. 1. **Professional**: Orca develops DeFi products and features with a user-first approach, ensuring user-friendliness and convenience for a diverse range of users, regardless of their experience level. 2. **Principled**: The DeFi space is often plagued by empty promises and malicious tactics. Therefore, Orca's highest priorities are the safety of user funds, and the transparency of our processes. Orca values steady development and honest communication over catchy slogans and questionable tactics. This commitment has enabled Orca to stand the test of time, maintaining zero hacks over the past four years. 3. **Playful**: Community lies at the heart of Orca’s activities, and we believe that DeFi can be fun. Therefore, Orca innovates with the visual aspects of the brand and platform, while also offering engaging activities for the community. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/#history) History Orca started from humble beginnings: just two builders hacking at a desk in Tokyo, with no venture funding or famous backers. Since 2021, Orca has grown to become one of the top DEXs in Solana ecosystem and in crypto in general. Orca launched its original Constant Product AMM (CPMM) pools while Solana was still in its infancy, becoming one of the first protocols in the ecosystem. The entire initial supply of the ORCA token was airdropped to users based on their liquidity provider and trader activity. **I**n March 2022, Orca transitioned to a more advanced liquidity mechanism with the launch of the Whirlpool program, which still underpins Orca’s CLMM to this day. This marked a departure from the constant product market maker (CPMM) model. With Whirlpools, liquidity providers were able to concentrate their liquidity within specific price ranges, optimizing capital efficiency and earning potentially higher yields. The concentrated liquidity model delivered a better trading experience by providing traders with more favorable rates and less price impact, particularly for larger trades. In October 2024, Orca launched on Eclipse, a modular blockchain that operates as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum while deploying the Solana Virtual Machine for execution. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/#orca-v2-ui-launch-and-user-groups) Orca v2 UI Launch and User Groups After multiple product iterations, Orca launched its v2 UI in 2024, catering to four user groups: 1. **Traders:** can swap tokens cheaply, quickly, and confidently on Orca. Price accuracy is ensured by the built-in Jupiter price comparison tool, while low slippage is guaranteed by the capital efficiency of Orca's CLMM pools. 2. **Liquidity Providers:** sophisticated and novice liquidity providers can benefit from Orca’s powerful position creation sidebar and new portfolio feature to quickly create and manage full range and concentrated liquidity positions. 3. **Token Creators:** creators of new tokens can create permissionless pools for their token launches on Orca using nearly any SPL token on Solana. 4. **Builders:** fellow ecosystem builders can tap into the most efficient source of liquidity on Solana, build quickly and easily using Orca's double-audited, open-source smart contract and SDK, and join the growing number of projects integrating with Orca.

Today, Orca is structured as a DAO with powers delegated to a DAO Council, established and elected through an ORCA holder vote. Holders of the ORCA token [can engage in governance](https://docs.orca.so/token-holder-documentation/orca-for-community/governance) by formulating, discussing, and refining proposals (see Governance), and help chart Orca DAO's course through the DeFi seas.

[NextWhat is Wavebreak](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak) Last updated 9 months ago --- # Wavebreak Rewards FAQ | Orca #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#how-do-i-earn-points) How do I earn Points? You earn Points by buying and selling tokens on Wavebreak that have not yet graduated, this includes when making an initial buy made when launching your token. Points are valid for a single reward period of 24 hours—after that, your balance resets to 0. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#what-do-points-do) What do Points do? Points give you a share of a portion of all the tokens that graduate during the 24-hour period in which you earned them. Even if you didn’t trade a specific token, you still receive a share if it graduated in a period in which you earned Points. You can claim your Rewards at any time in the _Claim Rewards_ section. The number of tokens you are entitled to claim is based on your respective pro rata share of the total balance of Points issued during the rewards period. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#what-is-bonding-and-graduation) What is Bonding and Graduation? Every Wavebreak token starts in the Bonding stage. This ends once 85 SOL worth of the token exists. At that Point, the token graduates. Graduation means the token becomes tradeable outside Wavebreak. You earn Points when buying and selling tokens on Wavebreak during the Bonding stage. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#where-and-how-do-i-claim-my-rewards) Where and how do I claim my Rewards? Click the `Rewards` button in the main navigation. There, you’ll see: * Your current Points * A countdown to the next reset * Your available Rewards You can claim your Rewards here anytime. You’ll be able to choose a maximum of 6 different tokens to claim in a single transaction. Rewards that have been allocated to you will never expire and can be claimed at any time in the future. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#why-are-there-tokens-i-havent-traded-in-my-rewards) Why are there tokens I haven’t traded in my Rewards? You receive tokens that graduated during any period where you earned Points, even if you didn’t trade that token yourself. So even if you missed a trending token, you’ll still have it included in your Rewards. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#how-long-can-i-claim-rewards-from-my-points) How long can I claim Rewards from my Points? Your Points reset every 24 hours, but your Rewards do not expire. You can claim them whenever you like #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#do-i-have-to-do-anything-to-convert-my-points-into-rewards) Do I have to do anything to convert my Points into Rewards? No, your Points are automatically converted into your share of the Rewards at the end of the period, no action is required. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/wavebreak-rewards-faq#are-there-costs-to-claiming-rewards) Are there costs to claiming Rewards? You will pay normal network fees to harvest tokens, this includes rent fees for the creation of any necessary associated token accounts (ATAs), as with any other token on Solana, rent fees can be recouped in the future by closing an empty ATA.

It distributes new tokens through a transparent bonding-curve sale, letting the price rise smoothly as demand increases, then graduates successfully launched tokens straight into Orca Whirlpools for deep, permissionless liquidity. Traders earn points for their trade volume during bonding, which convert into Daily Rewards. [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#why-wavebreak) Why Wavebreak? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Problem** **How Wavebreak helps** **Sniping bots always win** Orca's proprietary Anti-bot System gives everyone equal access to trade the token in the bonding phase, nullifying the advantage of sniping. **Fragmented liquidity after launch** At Graduation, 200 million tokens and 84 SOL raised during bonding are auto-seeded into a Whirlpool, making the token instantly tradable on Orca and aggregator platforms. **Complicated launch processes** Anyone can permissionlessly launch a token in a few easy steps. **Token creators sniping** The initial locked liquidity position belongs to the token creator, and earns LP fees—providing an incentive to stay aligned with holders. **Lack of incentive to trade early** Users earn Points for trading any token while it’s still bonding. The more Points earned, the larger the share of Rewards.

Wavebreak mints tokens incrementally along the Bonding Curve, increasing the spot price with each unit purchased. * Tokens sold during bonding are burned in exchange for SOL, but added back to the amount available to buy. The total supply will still reach 1,000,000,000 tokens at Graduation. * Price increases deterministically with each trade. Buyers can preview estimated tokens received (subject to slippage) before confirming. * Orca’s proprietary Anti-bot System protects humans from losing out to sniping bots. * Users earn points for every trade during bonding, proportional to their trade size. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#graduation) Graduation * Bonding ends when 85 SOL worth of the token exists in circulation. * 1.18% of the SOL collected during bonding is taken as a protocol fee (~1 SOL). * Wavebreak uses 19.32% of supply together with 84 SOL to create a full range locked liquidity position in a new Whirlpool. * The token creator owns this locked LP position and earns 87% of trading fees generated from it. * At Graduation, a portion of the token supply is set aside for Daily Rewards and allocated to users in proportion to their Points. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#post-launch-trading) Post-launch trading * The token is **instantly liquid** on Orca and any aggregator that supports Whirlpools. * * * [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#rewards-program) Rewards Program ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#daily-rewards) Daily Rewards * Throughout the rewards period, a portion of the token supply is distributed to Daily Rewards. * At the end of the rewards period, these tokens distributed to Daily Rewards are shared among users proportionally based on their respective pro rata share of the total balance of Points issued for that token during the rewards period. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#earn-points-by-buying-and-selling) Earn Points by buying and selling * Points are earned based on the volume users trade in tokens that are still bonding. * When trading, the Wavebreak Trading Modal will display how many Points a user’s trade will earn. * Users’ current Points balance can be found in the Rewards Panel, alongside the estimated value of their total Rewards Points and their number of reward tokens. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#daily-token-drops) Daily token drops * Daily Rewards are allocated to users at 8:00 pm Eastern Time each day. * All users who earned Points during the period receive a share of each token that graduated—regardless of which tokens they traded—based on their pro rata share of the total Points earned for that token. * After allocation, Point balances reset and the next 24-hour cycle begins. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#claim-what-you-want-when-you-want) Claim what you want, when you want * Users can view and claim rewards anytime via the Rewards Panel. * Rewards never expire. * Up to 6 tokens can be claimed per transaction. * * * [](https://docs.orca.so/wavebreak/what-is-wavebreak#key-concepts) Key Concepts ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Term** **Meaning** **Bonding Curve** A mathematical formula that sets token price based on how many tokens are in circulation. As more tokens are bought, the price increases. **Anti-bot Protection** Orca’s proprietary anti-bot system ensures humans have fair access from the start. **Graduation** When the sale ends, a Whirlpool is auto-created using 19.8% of the token supply and 84 SOL. This Whirlpool is a special 1% fee-tier Adaptive Fee Pool, making the token instantly tradable on Orca and integrated aggregator platforms. **Points** Earned for trading during the bonding phase. Points determine users’ pro rata share of the Daily Rewards. **Daily Rewards** A proportion of each day's graduated tokens is pooled and allocated to point-holders at 8:00 pm Eastern Time. Rewards are claimable anytime. **Whirlpools** Orca’s concentrated liquidity (CLMM) pools enable efficient trading and liquidity providers to earn fees within defined price ranges.

This approach results in more densely packed liquidity within the selected ranges, typically around the current market price. This enhances capital efficiency and reduces both price impact and slippage. Each position's price range operates like its own CPMM price curve. But unlike CPMMs, which require both assets in a pair, a CLMM position can consist entirely of just one token. This flexibility allows LPs to optimize their strategies based on market conditions, providing greater control and potential returns.

A full-range position is one that spreads your liquidity across the entire price range, from 0 to infinity (∞). This type of position closely approximates liquidity deposited in a traditional CPMM. It sacrifices capital efficiency and the potential for enhanced yields, but gains ease of management and reduced exposure to divergence loss.

Orca v2 enables LPs to enhance capital efficiency by concentrating assets within specific price ranges. Concentrated liquidity pools can replace traditional Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs), allowing anyone to create pools with Orca's fully permissionless pool creation tools. However, thorough research is essential before engaging in active liquidity provision to understand the mechanics, risks, and strategies involved. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/providing-liquidity-on-solana#understanding-clmms) Understanding CLMMs A CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker) allows LPs to allocate their capital to specific price ranges, rather than distributing it uniformly across all prices. This targeted approach allows LPs to maximize capital efficiency and potential yields, while also providing an enhanced experience for traders. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/providing-liquidity-on-solana#benefits-of-a-concentrated-liquidity-amm-clmm-vs.-a-constant-product-amm-cpmm) **Benefits of a Concentrated Liquidity AMM (CLMM) vs. a Constant Product AMM (CPMM)** 1. **Enhanced Capital Efficiency**: LPs can focus their capital on the most profitable price ranges instead of spreading it across the entire price curve. This results in a more efficient use of capital. 2. **Increased Earning Potential**: By allocating liquidity to high-volume trading ranges, LPs can earn more from transaction fees. The fees accrued per unit of capital deployed can significantly exceed those in traditional full-range CPMM pools. 3. **Flexible Management**: CLMMs offer LPs the flexibility to adjust their price ranges in response to current or anticipated market conditions, optimizing returns and managing risk more effectively than in a CPMM. 4. **Advanced Techniques**: CLMMs support advanced strategies that can mimic other protocols, such as limit orders and take-profit orders, providing greater versatility for LPs. Overall, CLMMs boost LP efficiency and profitability while also enhancing the trader experience.

A custom range position allows LPs to focus their liquidity within specific price ranges, thereby increasing capital efficiency and potential yields. However, managing a custom-range position requires more active oversight and carries a higher risk of divergence loss, which occurs when the value of the assets diverges from each other within the liquidity pool. This added complexity makes it crucial for LPs to thoroughly understand the risks and actively manage their positions to optimize outcomes.

All positions created through the Orca UI are represented by NFTs held in your wallet. These NFTs can be freely transferred to other wallets, including hardware wallets for safekeeping. However, only the wallet that holds the NFT can interact with the associated position in the UI. If the NFT is sent to an incorrect address or accidentally burned, access to the position—and the liquidity it contains—will be permanently lost. To manage your positions efficiently, use the _Position Details_ Sidebar, which provides quick access to a range of portfolio actions in Orca v2. → See the [Position Management Sidebar Guide](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/providing-liquidity-on-solana/managing-your-portfolio-on-solana/how-to-use-the-position-details-sidebar) for a detailed walkthrough.

These pools exclusively support full-range positions, eliminating the need to initialize additional _tickArray accounts_. This makes them ideal for projects that want to establish pools that operate seamlessly without requiring ongoing management. With Splash Pools, creating pools on Orca is faster, simpler, and more cost-effective than ever. Since Splash Pools use the same program as Orca's existing pools, they are automatically compatible with all current integrations. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/orca-for-new-token-creators-on-solana/how-to-guides/how-to-create-a-splash-pool-on-solana#how-do-splash-pools-differ-from-true-cpmm-pools) How do Splash Pools differ from true CPMM pools? In _Splash Pools_, liquidity providers (LPs) receive a pool position NFT that represents their specific position, rather than receiving fungible LP tokens. Additionally, yields earned by LPs must be manually harvested, in contrast to CPMM pools where yields are automatically compounded into the position. This operational model offers LPs greater flexibility in managing their yields but requires more hands-on involvement compared to CPMMs. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/orca-for-new-token-creators-on-solana/how-to-guides/how-to-create-a-splash-pool-on-solana#how-to-create-a-splash-pool) How to create a Splash Pool The Pool Creation tool is intended for expert and professional users only.

Orca is a decentralized protocol that facilitates trades on Solana, as Orca is non-custodial when you trade tokens the protocol will interact directly with your wallet. 1. **Get some SOL** Orca is built on the Solana blockchain, so you need SOL in your wallet to pay network fees. Transactions may fail if you do not maintain a minimum balance of 0.05 SOL. To obtain some SOL either: 1. Purchase SOL on a centralized exchange of your choice, or... 2. Purchase SOL through a fiat on-ramp service, these are integrated into some wallets. 2. **(optional) Move SOL to your wallet** If you went for the centralized exchange option you need to move the SOL to your wallet. The exact methods vary wallet to wallet but typically involve the following. 1. Click _**Deposit**_ or _**Receive**_. 2. Select/find SOL. 3. Copy/scan the deposit address. 4. Use this address to withdraw your SOL from the centralized exchange. **Important:** confirm that the deposit address is correct and the selected withdrawal method is **Solana SPL.** It is sensible to test with a small amount first.

This approach results in more densely packed liquidity within the selected ranges, typically around the current market price. This enhances capital efficiency and reduces both price impact and slippage. Each price range operates like its own CPMM price curve. However, unlike CPMMs, a CLMM position can consist entirely of just one of the token pairs. This flexibility allows LPs to optimize their strategies based on market conditions, providing greater control and potential returns.

All positions created through the UI are represented by an NFT that is held in your wallet. These NFTs can be transferred freely between wallets; they can be moved to other wallets or stored in a hardware wallet. Be aware, only the wallet holding the NFT can interact with the position in the UI. If you transfer the NFT to an incorrect address, or burn it by accident, you will lose access to all of the liquidity associated with the NFT, and the funds will be irrevocably lost. The easiest way to perform many portfolio tasks in Orca v2 is by using the Portfolio Management Sidebar.

With Orca v2, LPs enjoy enhanced capital efficiency and the ability to concentrate assets within specific price ranges. Concentrated liquidity pools can replace traditional Central Limit Order Books (CLOBs), allowing anyone to create pools with Orca's fully permissionless pool creation tools. However, thorough research is essential before engaging in active liquidity provision to understand the mechanics, risks, and strategies involved. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-liquidity-providers#what-is-a-clmm) What is a CLMM? CLMM stands for Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Maker. CLMMs enable liquidity providers (LPs) to allocate their capital to specific price ranges, rather than distributing it uniformly across all prices. This targeted approach allows LPs to maximize capital efficiency and potential yields, while also providing an enhanced experience for traders. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-liquidity-providers#benefits-of-a-concentrated-liquidity-amm-clmm-vs.-a-constant-product-amm-cpmm) **Benefits of a Concentrated Liquidity AMM (CLMM) vs. a Constant Product AMM (CPMM)** 1. **Enhanced Capital Efficiency**: LPs can focus their capital on the most profitable price ranges instead of spreading it across the entire price curve. This results in a more efficient use of capital. 2. **Increased Earning Potential**: By concentrating funds in areas with high trading volume, LPs can earn more from transaction fees. The fees accrued per unit of capital deployed can significantly exceed those in traditional full-range CPMM pools. 3. **Flexible Management**: CLMMs offer LPs the flexibility to adjust their price ranges in response to current or anticipated market conditions, optimizing returns and managing risk more effectively than in a CPMM. 4. **Advanced Techniques**: CLMMs support advanced strategies that can mimic other protocols, such as limit orders and take-profit orders, providing greater versatility for LPs. Overall, CLMMs enhance the efficiency and profitability of liquidity provision while offering traders a better trading experience.

These advanced strategies, often referred to as _range orders_, were not possible with traditional CPMM models. A CLOB trader typically deploys limit orders to trade assets only at a specific price. Such orders are filled (subject to available liquidity) when the market reaches the set price. By providing single-sided liquidity, Orca’s CLMM can broadly mimic a CLOB limit order. These range orders offer both advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional CLOB limit orders. However, when used effectively, they allow a user to automatically buy or sell an asset at a predefined price. The key advantages of a CLMM over a CLOB in this context include: * **Fee earning**: While creating limit orders in a CLOB often incurs costs, CLMM users earn fees as their order is executed. * **Tax advantages**: In many tax jurisdictions, a taxable event is not triggered until assets are withdrawn from the CLMM. This allows users to delay taxable events while assessing current market conditions. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/orca-for-traders-on-solana/how-to-guides/how-to-use-range-orders-on-solana#docs-internal-guid-748eed3b-7fff-2281-0cc9-f462bbee3f50) Limitations of range orders on a CLMM The nature of CLMM mechanics means that not all order types that can be executed on a CLOB can be mimicked on a CLMM. As the current price of a pool rises, the asset increasing in value (relative to the paired asset) is incrementally sold for the asset decreasing in value. This mechanism means that only certain types of range orders are possible, specifically _Buy Limit Orders_ and _Take Profit Orders_, which rely on this direction of conversion. While a range order may appear no different from any other single-sided liquidity position, it is defined by the user’s intention rather than the mechanics of the pool. For a range order to be considered executed, the user must withdraw their assets. Otherwise, the range order will continue to function like any other position, with one asset being exchanged for the other as the price fluctuates within the position’s price range.

This is made possible by CLMM mechanics—when one asset rises in value relative to its paired asset, it is sold in exchange for the other asset. By carefully deploying a single-sided liquidity position, traders can leverage the CLMM to effectively execute a _Buy Limit Order_. **Examples:** You believe that SOL is likely to fall to a price of 150 USDC from its current price of 160 USDC before rebounding, and you want to buy SOL at the lower price to take advantage of the anticipated recovery. This can be achieved by creating a single-sided position across a downside price range in a SOL/USDC pool. For this example, we will create a tight custom range of 150.002226–150.017226 USDC per SOL in the 0.01% fee tier SOL/USDC pool. The deposit will consist entirely of USDC. We now wait for the price to fall to or below the range minimum and then close our position. By that point, all the USDC will have been exchanged for SOL, and we will also have earned some trading fees. It is also possible to create a type of _buy limit order_ that cannot be achieved on a CLOB, designed to take advantage of an anticipated protracted downtrend with an expected bottom. In this case, a wider range can be set, aiming to earn trade fees throughout the duration of the downtrend. For example, we could create a range from 150.002226 to 160.011694 USDC per SOL. As the price moves down through this range, small amounts of USDC will be traded for SOL at every price point between the maximum and minimum range until all the USDC is exhausted. If we withdraw after the price reaches or falls below our minimum range, the position will consist entirely of SOL, and we will have earned additional fees. With this method, the price paid for SOL will be averaged across the selected range, meaning it will be higher than the chosen minimum. **Position Creation Process** 1.

This is possible due to CLMM mechanics—when an asset is rising in value, relative to the paired asset, it is sold for the other asset, this means that by carefully deploying a single sided position the CLMM can be used to execute a Take Profit Order/Sell Limit Order. The method of execution of these two order types are identitocal even f the intention of the order may vary. **Examples:** You believe that SOL is likely to rise to a price of 170 USDC from its current price of 160 USDC, and you want to sell your SOL for USDC at this higher price. This can be achieved by creating a one sided position across a price range on the up side of a SOL/USDC pool. For the purposes of this example we will create a tight custom range of 170.007724-170.024725 USDC per SOL in the SOL/USDC 0.01% fee tier pool. Our deposit will be composed entirely of SOL. We now wait for the price to rise to or above the range Max and close our position. All the SOL will have been sold for USDC, we will also earn some trade fees. It is also possible to create a type of Take Profit Order or a Sell Limit Order which cannot be achieved on a CLOB, which aims to take advantage of an anticipated protracted up trend, with an anticipated top. With this a wider range can be created, with the aim of taking advantage of trade fees during the period defined by the up trend. Here we could create a range from 160.011694-170.024725 USDC per SOL. As the price moves up through our range a little SOL will be sold for USDC at every price point between our Min and Max range until all the SOL is exhausted. If we withdraw after the price reaches or passes our Max range our position will be composed entirely of SOL and we will earn additional fees. With this method the price received for the SOL will be averaged out across the selected range, so will be lower than the selected Max. **Position Creation Process** 1.

A custom range position allows LPs to focus their liquidity within specific price ranges, thereby increasing capital efficiency and potential yields. However, managing a full-range position requires more active oversight and carries a higher risk of divergence loss, which occurs when the value of the assets diverges from each other within the liquidity pool. This added complexity makes it crucial for LPs to thoroughly understand the risks and actively manage their positions to optimize outcomes. 1. Navigate to the Liquidity page ([https://www.orca.so/pools?chainId=eclipse](https://www.orca.so/pools?chainId=eclipse) ). 2.

Widespread participation in governance is both healthy for the protocol and empowers users. An individual user may not have enough voting power to swing a vote in their favored direction, but even a small number of votes may prove decisive. Before voting you are encouraged to read the proposal, and related discussions, so that they are best able to make an informed decision. 2. **Comment** Before a proposal reaches the voting stage it first goes through a period of consultation, if you feel confident you sufficiently understand a proposal you are actively encouraged to: discuss the proposal; seek clarifications; debate merits; or propose amendments or additions. To avoid the discussion becoming difficult to follow, it is important you only post to the forum/Discord when making unique contributions: the react/like function should be used to indicate opinions, wherever possible, to ensure the discussion remains concise and easy to follow. Guidelines on making comments and contributions can be found [here](https://docs.orca.so/token-holder-documentation/orca-for-community/governance/how-to-guides/how-to-participate-in-governance/comments-and-contributions-guidelines) . 3. **Propose** When you have developed a deep understanding of Orca and DeFi, and have ideas that align with the Orca brand and mission, you are encouraged to bring these proposals forward for discussion. The council can make a proposal on your behalf, or in parallel, allowing meritorious ideas potential progression even when they arise from small ORCA token holders. Proposals need not be complete when initially presented but should be sufficiently detailed, and professionally presented, to invite discussion from the community prior to the preparation of a full proposal. When writing a proposal, you should seek to answer at least one of the following questions, and develop the idea in the order they are presented: 1. What problem is the proposal addressing / what is the added value? 2. What is being proposed / what is the change to be implemented? 3. What are the costs of implementing this / what are the downsides? Before formally introducing a proposal, discussion on an identified problem can be invited discussion by providing an answer for question #1, above, and other members of the community can help address #2 and #3. As a proposal takes shape, it should answer other questions: 1. How would the proposal be implemented? 2. Who would be responsible for implementing it? 3. Is it time critical / why should this be prioritized? The suggested proposal template and associated notes can be found here.

Shortly after the launch of the ORCA token, the [first ever “proto-governance” vote](https://medium.com/orca-so/introducing-the-orca-impact-fund-4c26e875e9c4) was held to determine which of two organizations should receive the donation. The worthy recipient chosen by the Orca community was [_Ocean Conservancy_](https://oceanconservancy.org/) . The first donation of $550,000 was [announced](https://medium.com/orca-so/orca-s-550k-donation-to-ocean-conservancy-fdcc674ec564) in November 2022. Orca has worked closely with Ocean Conservancy to determine which of their current initiatives will benefit the most from the additional funds. To support a smooth donation process, funds were converted to USDC in advance of the donation.

These pools exclusively support full-range positions, eliminating the need to initialize additional _tickArray accounts_. This makes them ideal for projects that want to establish pools that operate seamlessly without requiring ongoing management. With Splash Pools, creating pools on Orca is faster, simpler, and more cost-effective than ever. Since Splash Pools use the same program as Orca's existing pools, they are automatically compatible with all current integrations. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-new-token-creators/how-to-guides/how-to-create-a-splash-pool-on-eclipse#how-do-splash-pools-differ-from-true-cpmm-pools) How do Splash Pools differ from true CPMM pools? In _Splash Pools_, liquidity providers (LPs) receive a pool position NFT that represents their specific position, rather than receiving fungible LP tokens. Additionally, yields earned by LPs must be manually harvested, in contrast to CPMM pools where yields are automatically compounded into the position. This operational model offers LPs greater flexibility in managing their yields but requires more hands-on involvement compared to CPMMs. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-new-token-creators/how-to-guides/how-to-create-a-splash-pool-on-eclipse#how-to-create-a-splash-pool) How to create a Splash Pool The Pool Creation tool is intended for expert and professional users only.

Currently, only one Admin token has been minted and the mint authority is controlled by the Governance program. This means any additional tokens will need to be minted through a Proposal. This token has the ability to create Proposals outside of standard ORCA voting requirements, allowing it to pass proposals alone. The token is held by a member of the Orca team as a last resort failsafe measure to protect the Governance Program from any technical or malicious failures with the program. The token will only be used in the event of disaster recovery needs. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/token-holder-documentation/orca-for-community/governance/tutorials/governance-v0-user-guide#faq) **FAQ** * **Will the on-chain governance system stay live after the first (or first few) proposals?** * We’ll decide depending on the community’s response and the learnings received from this trial. Eventually, Orca may choose to build a custom own governance portal that inherits Orca’s human-centered DNA. * **How was the threshold for proposals determined?** * Participating in governance takes time and energy, so Orca strives to ensure that any effort invested is spent on well-thought-out proposals. This threshold ensures that proposals come with the support of a reasonable % of token holders.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for Orca to assist in recovering funds tied to a lost or burned NFT. Once the NFT is destroyed, neither the user nor anyone else can recover the liquidity or yields associated with that position. This is because only the holder of the pool position NFT has the ability to interact with the associated position. Without the NFT, the funds and any generated yields are permanently and irrevocably lost. Naturally, receiving such upsetting news can leave users feeling angry, frustrated, or distrustful toward Orca, despite the protocol's transparent warnings about the risks of burning NFTs. These emotions often lead to follow-up questions and concerns, which we will address below. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/burned-pool-position-nfts#why-cant-orca-help-me-retrieve-my-funds) Why can't Orca help me retrieve my funds? If you burn your **Orca position NFT**, the tokens and yields associated with that position are permanently lost. This is due to the fundamental mechanics of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols like Orca, which operate without centralized control or the ability to reverse on-chain actions. Here’s why Orca cannot assist in retrieving your tokens: 1. **Your Pool Position NFT represents ownership** 1. Orca pool position NFTs represent ownership of a specific liquidity position within a pool on Orca. 2. This NFT encodes the information about your position, such as the deposited tokens, amounts, and gives access to any yields associated with it. 3. If you burn the NFT, you are effectively signaling to the blockchain that you no longer want to claim or own that position. Access to the position and its associated tokens and yields is irreversibly destroyed. 2. **Smart Contracts** 1. Orca runs on Solana and operates through smart contracts, which are permissionless and cannot be simply changed to aware ownership of liquidity to a party that no longer holds the associated NFT. 2. These contracts execute actions exactly as programmed, and once an NFT is burned, the contract has no mechanism to reverse the action or recreate the destroyed NFT. 3. **Decentralized and Non-Custodial Nature** 1. Orca is a decentralized protocol, meaning no central entity (including the Orca team) has control over user funds or positions. 2. This non-custodial structure ensures user sovereignty but also places the responsibility for asset management squarely on the user. 3. Once you burn an NFT, there is no centralized authority that can intervene to "undo" the action. 4. **Burning Is an Irreversible Action** 1. Burning an NFT removes it from circulation by sending it to a null address or executing a contract that destroys it. This action is irreversible by design, to maintain the integrity of blockchain operations. 5. **No Access to Private Keys** 1. Orca does not have access to your private keys or any direct control over your assets. Without the NFT, there is no cryptographic proof of your position, and therefore no way to recover the associated tokens. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/burned-pool-position-nfts#how-can-i-avoid-such-situations) **How can I avoid such situations?** 1. **Understand the Protocol**: Make sure you fully understand the role of a pool position NFTs and its significance in representing your liquidity and yields: your NFT is in effect your receipt for your deposited assets without it you can never reclaim the assets from the pool to which they are deposited. 2. **Double-Check Transactions**: Avoid accidental burns by thoroughly reviewing any actions involving your NFTs or tokens. 3. **Consult Documentation or Support**: Before taking any action you're unsure about, consult Orca’s documentation, social channels forums, or seek advice from a member of Orca's Community Support Team. 4. **Use Safe Wallet Practices**: Ensure you're using wallets with clear interfaces and that you’ve backed up your private keys or seed phrases. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/burned-pool-position-nfts#why-didnt-orca-warn-me-to-stop-this-happening) Why didn't Orca warn me to stop this happening? Both Orca's user interface and documentation include clear warnings against burning the NFT, along with explanations of the consequences. Additionally, the NFT itself is labeled with a warning advising users not to burn it. To further protect users, Orca has reached out to wallet providers and incinerator protocols, requesting that Orca pool position NFTs not be marked as spam. However, it is important to note that Orca has no control over external wallet applications or protocols. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/burned-pool-position-nfts#what-has-actually-happened-to-my-deposited-tokens) What has actually happened to my deposited tokens? The tokens still exist on-chain and continue to provide liquidity, meaning the operation of the pool remains unaffected despite the absence of the controlling NFT. However, without the NFT, the tokens and any yield they generate are effectively locked in the pool permanently and cannot be withdrawn. They will remain there indefinitely. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/burned-pool-position-nfts#what-can-i-do-to-recover-from-this-loss) What can I do to recover from this loss? It’s important to acknowledge that the loss has occurred and that it is irreversible. While this can be difficult to accept, it is crucial to avoid making impulsive decisions or adopting risky strategies in an attempt to quickly recover your losses. Trying to "make it back in one trade" often leads to even greater financial setbacks. Financial losses, especially those resulting from personal mistakes, can have a significant impact on mental health. If you notice signs that the loss is affecting your emotional well-being—such as persistent stress, anxiety, or depression—it’s essential to address these feelings. Reach out to your personal support networks, such as friends or family, and don’t hesitate to seek professional help from a healthcare provider or counselor if needed.

It is also important to understand the differences between slippage, price impact, and poor value trades. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#what-is-slippage) What is slippage? When trading slippage is the difference between the quoted price when you authorized a transaction and the final price your trade executes at. Movement of token values, in the liquidity pools against which you are trading, that occur between you authorizing a trade and the trade reaching on-chain finality can result in variation in the number of tokens received (or spent). When depositing to, or withdrawing from a pool, the ratio of tokens deposited/received fluctuates with the pool price, slippage in this context, therefore has an impact on the ratio of tokens deposited or received. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#slippage-tolerance-settings) Slippage tolerance settings Users are able to set how much slippage they are willing to accept and still see their transaction executed. Setting your slippage tolerance defines the maximum percentile change you are willing to accept between the originally quoted outcome and the final amounts when the transaction settles. In times of high volatility and/or congestion increasing your slippage tolerance may improve the chance of your trade executing successfully. However, setting slippage too high can result in your transaction being front run or subjected to a sandwich attack. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#risks-of-setting-a-high-slippage-tolerance) Risks of setting a high slippage tolerance Setting slippage tolerance settings too high comes with some risks * Front running and sandwich attacks * Poor value trades **What is Front Running?** Blockchain front running occurs when another user, with access to information on unconfirmed transactions, uses that knowledge to place a transaction ahead of yours on the blockchain. This results in your transaction executing at a disadvantageous price relative to the expected outcome, allowing the attacker to extract value from you. A sandwich attack is a specific form of front running where the original transaction is inserted between two or more transactions, further enhancing the value extraction for the attacker. Front running extracts value by causing the original transaction to experience more slippage than it would have without the insertion of the attacker's transactions. Since a transaction cannot experience more slippage than the set maximum slippage tolerance, setting a lower slippage tolerance reduces vulnerability to front running. **Slippage tolerance settings causing Poor Value Trades** Besides exposing yourself to the risk of front running, if slippage is set too high there is the risk that your transaction will execute at a poor value for you. This can happen simply because of sudden price movement happens to occur between you authorizing your transaction and settlement. This can be avoided by ensuring that slippage tolerance settings are not set too high. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#slippage-vs-price-impact) Slippage vs Price Impact These terms are often confused or used interchangeably, but they truly refer to different concepts. While slippage is the movement of transaction values that occurs between the time a transaction is quoted and when it is settled—caused by factors other than your transaction itself—price impact is the change in price specifically caused by your transaction. High price impact can occur when your trade is large compared to the available liquidity. Orca’s UI displays price impact information when quoting a trade. It is important to carefully consider whether you are willing to accept a trade with a high price impact, as it can result in a poor value trade. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#trade-slippage-vs-liquidity-pool-slippage) Trade Slippage vs Liquidity Pool Slippage Orca recognizes that slippage when trading and when transacting against a pool, as an LP, are quite different, as such Orca allows users to set separate slippage tolerance settings for liquidity pool transactions and trades. As liquidity pool transactions (adding/removing liquidity or closing a position) are more prone to transaction failure due to slippage, and are not exposed to the risk of front-running, a higher success rate can be safely achieved by increasing pool slippage tolerance. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#when-to-set-a-higher-slippage-tolerance) When to set a higher slippage tolerance Setting a higher slippage tolerance may be necessary at times to ensure your transaction settles, below are some examples, this is not an exhaustive list and caution must be taken when setting a higher slippage tolerance: 1. High Volatility: When transacting in a highly volatile market, prices can change rapidly. Increasing slippage tolerance ensures that your transaction goes through despite these fluctuations. If you do not need to transact quickly, make modest increases, until the transaction succeeds, or simply wait for volatility to ease. 2. Low Liquidity: In markets with low liquidity, price swings are more common due to the limited number of buyers and sellers. Higher slippage tolerance may help ensure your trade is executed. 3. Urgent Transactions: If you need a transaction to be executed quickly and can't afford for it to fail, setting a higher slippage tolerance can prevent delays caused by minor price changes. Remember, while setting a higher slippage tolerance can facilitate the execution of your trade, it also exposes you to an increased risk of a poor value trade. Use this option judiciously based on your specific trading needs and market conditions and only increase slippage tolerance after careful consideration and research. Orca cannot accept responsibility for poor value or loss caused by inappropriate slippage tolerance settings. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage#other-causes-of-poor-value-trades) Other causes of poor value trades While Orca’s trade router will search for the best price and trade across multiple pools to deliver it, each pool on Orca remains its own distinct and separate market, independent of every other pool on Orca and beyond in the wider market. The only action that keeps prices in a pool aligned with wider market values is trading activity. Prices are not controlled by Orca, nor are they adjusted to match a 'correct price'. The price you see for a token on a price aggregator site, such as CoinGecko, is an average of the token prices across all available markets tracked by that aggregator; it is not a true or correct price. As such, when you receive a trade quote, it is critical to ensure that you are satisfied with the trade and that it meets your expectations regarding value. Failing to verify that the quoted price meets your expectations may result in a poor value trade. This risk is amplified by thin liquidity, new, dormant, or infrequently used pools, or periods of high volatility—particularly with new tokens. Orca cannot accept responsibility for any poor value trades a user experiences.

These advanced strategies, often referred to as _range orders_, were not possible with traditional CPMM models. A CLOB trader typically deploys limit orders to trade assets only at a specific price. Such orders are filled (subject to available liquidity) when the market reaches the set price. By providing single-sided liquidity, Orca’s CLMM can broadly mimic a CLOB limit order. These range orders offer both advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional CLOB limit orders. However, when used effectively, they allow a user to automatically buy or sell an asset at a predefined price. The key advantages of a CLMM over a CLOB in this context include: * **Fee earning**: While creating limit orders in a CLOB often incurs costs, CLMM users earn fees as their order is executed. * **Tax advantages**: In many tax jurisdictions, a taxable event is not triggered until assets are withdrawn from the CLMM. This allows users to delay taxable events while assessing current market conditions. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-traders/how-to-guides/how-to-use-range-orders-on-eclipse#docs-internal-guid-748eed3b-7fff-2281-0cc9-f462bbee3f50) Limitations of range orders on a CLMM The nature of CLMM mechanics means that not all order types that can be executed on a CLOB can be mimicked on a CLMM. As the current price of a pool rises, the asset increasing in value (relative to the paired asset) is incrementally sold for the asset decreasing in value. This mechanism means that only certain types of range orders are possible, specifically _Buy Limit Orders_ and _Take Profit Orders_, which rely on this direction of conversion. While a range order may appear no different from any other single-sided liquidity position, it is defined by the user’s intention rather than the mechanics of the pool. For a range order to be considered executed, the user must withdraw their assets. Otherwise, the range order will continue to function like any other position, with one asset being exchanged for the other as the price fluctuates within the position’s price range. Creating a Buy Limit Order [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-traders/how-to-guides/how-to-use-range-orders-on-eclipse#tab-creating-a-buy-limit-order) Creating a Take Profit Order/Sell Limit Order [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-traders/how-to-guides/how-to-use-range-orders-on-eclipse#tab-creating-a-take-profit-order-sell-limit-order) #### [](https://docs.orca.so/eclipse-documentation/orca-on-eclipse/orca-on-eclipse-for-traders/how-to-guides/how-to-use-range-orders-on-eclipse#docs-internal-guid-1992e0f9-7fff-3c6f-7348-d43b1e117009) How to create a Buy Limit Order Orca’s CLMM can be used by traders to execute a _Buy Limit Order_. This is made possible by CLMM mechanics—when one asset rises in value relative to its paired asset, it is sold in exchange for the other asset. By carefully deploying a single-sided liquidity position, traders can leverage the CLMM to effectively execute a _Buy Limit Order_. **Examples:** You believe that SOL is likely to fall to a price of 150 USDC from its current price of 160 USDC before rebounding, and you want to buy SOL at the lower price to take advantage of the anticipated recovery. This can be achieved by creating a single-sided position across a downside price range in a SOL/USDC pool. For this example, we will create a tight custom range of 150.002226–150.017226 USDC per SOL in the 0.01% fee tier SOL/USDC pool. The deposit will consist entirely of USDC. We now wait for the price to fall to or below the range minimum and then close our position. By that point, all the USDC will have been exchanged for SOL, and we will also have earned some trading fees. It is also possible to create a type of _buy limit order_ that cannot be achieved on a CLOB, designed to take advantage of an anticipated protracted downtrend with an expected bottom. In this case, a wider range can be set, aiming to earn trade fees throughout the duration of the downtrend. For example, we could create a range from 150.002226 to 160.011694 USDC per SOL. As the price moves down through this range, small amounts of USDC will be traded for SOL at every price point between the maximum and minimum range until all the USDC is exhausted. If we withdraw after the price reaches or falls below our minimum range, the position will consist entirely of SOL, and we will have earned additional fees. With this method, the price paid for SOL will be averaged across the selected range, meaning it will be higher than the chosen minimum. **Position Creation Process** 1.

This is possible due to CLMM mechanics—when an asset is rising in value, relative to the paired asset, it is sold for the other asset, this means that by carefully deploying a single sided position the CLMM can be used to execute a Take Profit Order/Sell Limit Order. The method of execution of these two order types are identitocal even f the intention of the order may vary. **Examples:** You believe that SOL is likely to rise to a price of 170 USDC from its current price of 160 USDC, and you want to sell your SOL for USDC at this higher price. This can be achieved by creating a one sided position across a price range on the up side of a SOL/USDC pool. For the purposes of this example we will create a tight custom range of 170.007724-170.024725 USDC per SOL in the SOL/USDC 0.01% fee tier pool. Our deposit will be composed entirely of SOL. We now wait for the price to rise to or above the range Max and close our position. All the SOL will have been sold for USDC, we will also earn some trade fees. It is also possible to create a type of Take Profit Order or a Sell Limit Order which cannot be achieved on a CLOB, which aims to take advantage of an anticipated protracted up trend, with an anticipated top. With this a wider range can be created, with the aim of taking advantage of trade fees during the period defined by the up trend. Here we could create a range from 160.011694-170.024725 USDC per SOL. As the price moves up through our range a little SOL will be sold for USDC at every price point between our Min and Max range until all the SOL is exhausted. If we withdraw after the price reaches or passes our Max range our position will be composed entirely of SOL and we will earn additional fees. With this method the price received for the SOL will be averaged out across the selected range, so will be lower than the selected Max. **Position Creation Process** 1.

If the price rises and passes through your range, your position will be made entirely of USDC tokens. You must withdraw your liquidity at this point to ensure it does not become active again and your position revert to SOL.

Selecting an Asset Allocation strategy that suits your goals, risk tolerance and the lenght of time you want to hold an asset or collection of assets, should follow a structured plan with objectives. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#deposit-ratio) Deposit Ratio The ratio of the two assets deposited is determined by the price you set at this step. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#diversification) Diversification A well known adage is "Never put all your eggs in one basket". Diversification refers to the practice of allocating capital across a broad range of financial asset classes, products, instruments, strategies, and protocols. Within DeFi, besides simply owning a range of assets, diversification can also refer to deploying those assets variously though - for example - staking, lending, or providing liquidity. In the case of Concentrated Liquidity, it is also possible to diversify within a single pool by selecting multiple separate price ranges. The goal of diversification is to reduce the overall risk that may arise form holding a narrow range of assets, asset classes, or deploying single strategies. A diverse portfolio composition is more likely to experience smoother variance in overall value and earnings during times of heightened market volatility. Diversification can be achieved within a single asset class (such as holding a range of assets) and across asset classes (such as owning commodities, shares, securities, saving, and assets). #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#divergence-loss) Divergence Loss Divergence loss is one type of risk that liquidity providers take in exchange for fees they earn in liquidity pools. If divergence loss exceeds the yield earned upon withdrawal, the user has suffered negative returns compared to holding their tokens outside the pool. In CLAMM pools, both the yield from trading fees and rewards and divergence loss are amplified. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#estimated-yield) Estimated Yield Projected yields are estimated using data drawn from the previous 24 hours of trading for the price range selected. Note that concentrating liquidity increases both yield and divergence loss, and previous returns are not a guarantee of future returns. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#fee-rate) Fee Rate The percentage of each trade for this pool that goes to liquidity providers. This value may change to optimize fees over time. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#in-range-and-out-of-range) In-Range and Out-of-Range In a concentrated liquidity pool a user defines the boundaries of the price-range within which they wish to provide liquidity. When the current price of the asset is within the selected price-range, a liquidity provider's position is "In-Range" and the user will earn trading fees, and any associated incentives. However, if the current price for the pair moves outside the users selected price-range, their position would now be "Out-of-Range" and two things will happen: firstly, the users position will become dormant - no incentives, or trading fees, will be earned; secondly, the user's position will consist entirely of one asset. As long as the user's position remains "Out-of-Range", these conditions will remain the case. If the current price for the pair moves back into the price-range of the user's position, then fees and rewards will recommence and the balance of the position will once more begin to fluctuate with the relative values of the paired tokens. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#leverage) Leverage How concentrated your liquidity will be compared to a constant product AMM pool. If this number is 8x, you would earn 8x the fees and incentives for each trade. Likewise, your capital will be exposed to a comparably higher risk of divergence loss. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#nft-mint-address) NFT Mint Address The existence of price ranges makes each pool position unique. Therefore, each position is represented by an NFT instead of fungible pool tokens. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#price-range) Price Range Liquidity deposited will only be used for trades (and earn fees and incentives) when the current price of the assets in this pool is within this range. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#risk-tolerance) Risk Tolerance Describes the variability in expected returns (or losses) that a user is prepared to accept, across the planned time frame the user expects to hold the asset, when set against the assessed likelihood of possible outcomes. It is important that, as part of planning, users assess their personal willingness to accept the range of changes in value and incentives reasonably anticipated for their chosen assets and strategies. Risk tolerance is a personal matter, we request that users do their own research and evaluate their own risk tolerance before using pools. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions#tick-spacing) Tick Spacing Each pool is divided evenly into buckets of liquidity with predefined boundaries known as "ticks". A tick spacing of 8 means that each tick is 0.08% larger than the previous tick, and 128 means that each tick is 1.28% larger than the previous tick. Stable pools use smaller tick spacing to allow for more granular price ranges.

In this guide, we’ll explore what Adaptive Fee Pools are, how they differ from traditional fee structures, and how they interact with existing Whirlpool concepts like ticks and tick spacing. Whether you're a seasoned LP or just getting started, understanding Adaptive Fee Pools can help you optimize your liquidity strategy on Orca. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#what-are-adaptive-fee-pools) What Are Adaptive Fee Pools? _Fixed Fee Pools_ on Orca apply a fixed fee to every trade. LPs choose a pool with a given fee tier (like 0.05% or 0.3%), and that’s the fee traders pay—no matter the market conditions. _Adaptive Fee Pools_, on the other hand, introduce a more flexible approach. Instead of a single fixed rate, they combine: * **Base Fee**: The standard fee you select when depositing (just like in fixed fee pools). * **Adaptive Fee**: A dynamic component that increases when prices move rapidly—i.e., when market volatility is high. ![](https://docs.orca.so/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2506703662-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MPvyETgLWLe-8rEIO01%252Fuploads%252FIQSCmhtt01UqpdzSbH0h%252Fadaptive_fee_001.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3D08c37d02-d157-4b62-895e-c3f21038f339&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=8d072b98&sv=2) This means LPs can still choose their preferred base tier while gaining the potential to earn more during periods of high trading activity. In essence, you get the best of both worlds: predictability during calm markets and higher yield potential during volatile ones. > 💡 **Tip:** Adaptive Fee Pools are a new type of Whirlpool pool. If you're not ready to try them out, you can continue using fixed-fee pools as before. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#why-adaptive-fees) Why Adaptive Fees? Market conditions aren’t static, so why should fees be? Imagine a high-volatility day—traders are active, prices are swinging, and the risk of [divergence loss](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss) is elevated. In a fixed fee pool, LPs earn the same fee as they would on a slow day. Adaptive Fee Pools change that. As volatility rises, so does the adaptive fee, which means: * LPs are compensated for increased risk * Traders pay higher fees only when markets are volatile ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#how-does-it-work) How Does It Work? So how do Adaptive Fee Pools know when to adjust? It all comes down to price movement. Behind the scenes, the Adaptive Fee mechanism monitors how far the price moves during a trade—specifically, how many tick groups it crosses. If the price travels far from the reference point (the price at the start of the swap), the adaptive fee increases. > _You don’t need to worry about the math—Orca handles it all. But if you’re curious, check out the_ [_Developer Docs_](https://dev.orca.so/Architecture%20Overview/Whirlpool%20Fees/) > _for a breakdown of how Adaptive Fees are calculated under the hood._ Here’s the key idea: * If prices have been stable leading up to a trade → low adaptive fee * If prices have been volatile leading up to a trade → higher adaptive fee Traders pay more when prices are volatile and their trades are contributing to volatility and LPs are rewarded proportionally. > Think of the adaptive fee like surge pricing in a rideshare app: fees increase when demand (price volatility) spikes, rewarding drivers (LPs) who stay on the road (supply liquidity) during busy times. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#lp-strategy-with-adaptive-fees) LP Strategy with Adaptive Fees From an LP’s perspective, Adaptive Fee Pools offer a new layer of strategy. Here’s how they compare: Traditional Fee Pool Adaptive Fee Pool Fee is fixed (e.g. 0.3%) Fee starts at base rate, can rise dynamically Suitable for predictable, low volatility, markets Ideal for volatile or fast-moving markets Easier to estimate returns Offers potential for higher yield, but less predictable Competes primarily on tick range Competes on tick range **and** dynamic fee behavior If you're already laddering liquidity across multiple fee tiers, you could consider using Adaptive Fee Pools to anchor your strategy in pools likely to see high volume or sharp price moves. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#what-stays-the-same) What Stays the Same? While Adaptive Fee Pools introduce a new way to earn, many core concepts remain unchanged: * [Ticks and tick spacing](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca) still define where your liquidity lives. * [Fee tiers](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca) still serve as the base fee, and LPs choose them when depositing. * You still earn [fees](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/trading-fees) when trades occur within your active tick range. * The pool UI and deposit experience remains intuitive and familiar. In short: Adaptive Fee Pools feel just like the Orca LP experience you know, but smarter. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools#conclusion) Conclusion Adaptive Fee Pools are a powerful addition to the Orca LP experience. By combining the familiar structure of fee tiers with a dynamic response to market conditions, they offer LPs a smarter way to earn and mitigate risks generated by volatility. Whether you're optimizing for stability or volatility, Adaptive Fee Pools unlock new possibilities for your liquidity strategies.

Despite the name, IL is not always impermanent—and not always a true loss relative to your original capital. This guide explores: * Why the term "impermanent loss" can be misleading * How IL behaves in Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers (CLMMs) * When IL becomes permanent—and when it does not * How strategic management of positions can affect outcomes * Why Orca believes the term _Divergence Loss_ (DL) better describes this phenomenon Understanding these dynamics is essential for liquidity providers who want to make informed decisions and optimize returns over time. [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#understanding-impermanent-loss-in-clmms) Understanding Impermanent Loss in CLMMs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Most liquidity providers (LPs) have heard of _impermanent loss_ (IL), but many struggle to fully understand what it is—or perhaps more importantly, what it isn’t. (Spoiler: it’s not always impermanent, and not necessarily a loss.) Given the term’s ambiguity, it's hardly surprising that IL is often misunderstood. In essence, impermanent loss might be _neither_ truly impermanent nor an _actual_ loss. Whether IL becomes permanent—and whether it results in a real loss—depends entirely on how and when the liquidity provider interacts with their position. So, what exactly is impermanent loss? Let's walk through it carefully. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#what-impermanent-loss-means) What Impermanent Loss Means **Impermanent:** Temporary; capable of being reversed. **Loss:** A reduction in value. In an Automated Market Maker (AMM), IL occurs when the relative prices of the assets you’ve provided liquidity for change compared to when you deposited them. If you withdraw liquidity at a different price ratio, the value of your position may be lower than if you had simply held the tokens. However, IL is: * Not always impermanent. * Not always a true loss in absolute terms. * Not necessarily worse than other strategies. In a Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) like Orca, these effects can be sharper—but they can also be managed carefully. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#why-the-name-is-confusing) Why the Name Is Confusing The term "impermanent loss" itself can cause misunderstanding: * **Impermanence** suggests the loss will resolve itself. In reality, if you withdraw liquidity at the wrong time, the loss becomes permanent. * **Loss** implies that LPs are left worse off. Yet many LPs stay profitable overall, even after accounting for IL. Understanding these nuances is critical for making informed liquidity decisions. [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#example-scenarios) Example Scenarios ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For simplicity, we assume: * 1 USDC = $1 * **Initial SOL price:** $200 * **Selected range:** $160–$250 * **Liquidity provided:** * 2.5 SOL (worth $500) * 500 USDC 1 **Scenario 1: When Impermanent Loss Is Temporary** * Price falls to: 170 USDC/SOL * If you withdraw now: * Receive ~4.50 SOL (worth ~$766) + 130 USDC * Total value: ~$896 * If you had simply held: * 2.5 SOL (worth ~$425) + 500 USDC = $925 At this moment, withdrawing would realize an IL of $28.86 However, if you wait and the price returns to $200, your position would again be worth $1000—no loss realized. This outcome is explained by path independence: In a CLMM, if you withdraw liquidity at the same price you deposited, you'll retrieve the same value, regardless of the path prices took. > **Key takeaway:** Impermanent loss can become permanent but only if you withdraw liquidity at a price point other than the one at which you deposited 2 **Scenario 2: When Impermanent Loss Isn't Truly a Loss** * **Price rises to:** 250 USDC/SOL * **If you withdraw now:** * Receive ~1059 USDC * Total value: ~$1059 * **If you had simply held:** * 2.5 SOL (worth ~$625) + 500 USDC = $1125 Compared to holding, you have "lost" $65.83. However, you are still ahead of your original $1000 deposit. This illustrates that IL is often a _relative_ loss—it compares your LP strategy to simply holding, rather than showing an absolute decrease in value. And importantly, this does _**not yet**_ include any trading fees earned while your liquidity was active, which can more than compensate for the IL. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#key-takeaway) Key Takeaway * **IL is only realized if you withdraw.** If you wait and prices recover, the loss can disappear. It is worth noting that price may never return to the exact deposit value. * **IL is a relative measure, not an absolute loss.** You can still be in profit compared to your initial deposit. * **Fee earnings are critical.** You outperform simple holding when your earned fees exceed any realized IL. * **Position management matters.** If you expect price recovery, holding your position may be better. If you expect continued divergence, repositioning could make sense. * * * [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#terminology-why-orca-prefers-divergence-loss) Terminology: Why Orca Prefers "Divergence Loss" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the industry-standard term is _impermanent loss_, Orca often refers to the phenomenon as _divergence loss_ (DL). We believe _divergence loss_ is a clearer and more accurate description, because: * The impermanence of IL depends entirely on LP behavior—not market behavior alone. * Divergence directly reflects what happens: asset prices move apart (diverge) from their original ratio. * Loss should always be understood relative to an alternative action, not automatically assumed to be absolute. Throughout Orca documentation, you may encounter both terms used side-by-side, especially in contexts where external standards are also referenced. Our goal is to help liquidity providers fully understand the risks, strategies, and outcomes associated with liquidity provision—without relying on misleading terminology. [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/impermanent-loss#conclusion) Conclusion ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impermanent loss is an important concept for every liquidity provider to understand—but it’s only part of the bigger picture. Managing liquidity positions requires balancing: * Fee generation * Risk of price divergence * Opportunity costs compared to alternative strategies like holding, staking, or lending With careful strategy and active management, LPs can often turn impermanent loss from a threat into an opportunity. [PreviousAdaptive Fee Pools](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools) [NextUnderstanding Slippage](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-slippage) Last updated 3 months ago --- # Trading fees | Orca ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/trading-fees#trading-fees-on-orca) Trading Fees on Orca Whenever a trade is executed on Orca, a percentage of the input token is collected as a trading fee. The exact fee depends on the **fee tier** of the pool (or pools) used for the trade. Orca supports two types of fee structures: * **Fixed Fee Pools** — where the fee is constant * **Adaptive Fee Pools** — where the fee increases relative to volatility ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/trading-fees#fee-distribution) Fee Distribution The total trading fee is deducted from the input token. 🧾 _Input token:_ The token supplied by the trader at the start of the trade — for example, in a SOL → USDC trade, SOL is the input token, and the trading fee is deducted from the SOL amount. This fee is then distributed among the liquidity provider (maker), the protocol, and the Climate Fund. This distribution is consistent across both the Solana and Eclipse networks, and applies to all fee tiers: * 87% to the Liquidity Provider * 12% to the Protocol Treasury, subdivided as follows: * 50% to the initial development team, supporting ongoing operations and development * 30% to the Orca DAO Fee Treasury * 20% used programmatically to buy ORCA for the xORCA pool * 1% to the Climate Fund ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/trading-fees#fee-rate-and-tiers) Fee rate and Tiers When a new pool is created, the fee rate is selected by the pool creator. In the context of a CLMM (concentrated liquidity market maker), the fee rate functions similarly to a spread in a traditional order book. Each fee tier is associated with a specific tick spacing and defines the percentage of the trade value paid as a fee. The table below outlines: * The Tick Spacing and Fee Tier * The Fee paid by the trader (taker) * How the fee is shared between the Liquidity Provider (Maker), Orca DAO Treasury, and Climate Fund > **Note:** For fixed fee pools, the fee paid by the trader is always equal to the selected fee tier. For adaptive fee pools, the base rate matches the selected fee tier, but the actual fee may increase dynamically based on volatility. Regardless of whether the fee increases, the fee split remains the same: 87% to LPs, 12% to protocol, 1% to the Climate Fund. Please select the appropriate network tab.

Orca pool positions are represented by an NFT, but any other NFTs purporting to be from Orca are almost certainly part of a scam. Orca will not send you an NFT that promises you free tokens or access to an airdrop. Orca will not ask you to connect your wallet to another website. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#i-cant-harvest-my-yield-from-my-pool-why) I can't harvest my yield from my pool, why? This can happen for two reasons: 1. Your wallet does not have a token account for the token you are trying to harvest. **Solution:** if this is the case, trading to obtain a small balance of the token, should allow you to harvest. 2. The rewards for the pool are depleted. **Solution:** raise the issue with a Community Manager on Orca's [#🤖│support-ticket](https://discord.com/channels/798712664590254081/1126616010481471589) Discord channel, they will ensure the party who adds the rewards for your pool are informed. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#im-trying-to-close-my-position-but-i-get-the-error-unable-to-close-position-because-its-not-empty-wh) I'm trying to close my position, but I get the error _"unable to close position because it's not empty"_, why? This is usually happens when one of the reward tokens for the pool are depleted. **Solution:** raise the issue with a Community Manager via Orca's [#🤖│support-ticket](https://discord.com/channels/798712664590254081/1126616010481471589) Discord channel, they will ensure the party who adds the rewards for your pool are informed. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#when-i-try-to-trade-the-trade-button-says-unavailable-in-your-country-or-region-what-does-that-mean) When I try to trade, the trade button says _"Unavailable in your country or region",_ what does that mean?

Orca extracts its token list from CoinGecko - if the token is not listed on CoinGecko you can request to have it added to Orca (see [this guide](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/community-listing/how-to-guides/how-to-add-a-token-to-the-orca-token-list) ). If the token is listed on Orca, but you still can't trade it may be that no liquidity exists, you can check by searching for the token in the [liquidity browser](https://www.orca.so/liquidity/browse) . ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#i-want-to-create-a-pool-for-my-token-but-it-isnt-listed-what-can-i-do) I want to create a pool for my token, but it isn't listed, what can I do? If you cannot find a token, it is likely because it is not on CoinGecko. You can either list your token there, or follow [this guide](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/community-listing/how-to-guides/how-to-add-a-token-to-the-orca-token-list) . ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#what-does-the-error-oops-something-went-wrong-mean) What does the error _"oops something went wrong"_ mean? This error is often the result of an inadequate SOL balance. It is recommended to maintain a balance of at least 0.05 SOL in your wallet. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#why-does-it-say-trading-pair-not-supported-mean) Why does it say "trading pair not supported" mean? If adequate liquidity doesn't exist for a pair in the current tick, trading is not possible. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#what-does-try-using-a-newer-wallet-that-supports-versioned-transactions-mean) What does _"Try using a newer wallet that supports Versioned Transactions"_, mean? Versioned Transactions are the latest transaction format which allows for additional functionality in the Solana runtime, you can read more [here](https://docs.solana.com/developing/versioned-transactions) . ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/additional-faqs#why-doesnt-the-price-in-an-orca-pool-match-the-price-shown-on-sites-like-coingecko) Why doesn't the price in an Orca pool match the price shown on sites like CoinGecko? Prices aren't set by Orca, or an oracle, each pool is its own market and the price is determined by trading activity. Prices will usually converge on wider market value through the action of trading, traders (and bots) specialising in arbitrage trading seek out imbalances between different markets and trade for profit.

They provide flexibility and efficiency for liquidity providers (LPs) and deliver optimized trading. In this article we will explore each concept and take a closer look at how these elements interrelate, and hopefully, though increased understanding, enhance your experience of using Orca. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca#what-are-ticks) **What are ticks?** Ticks are discrete price intervals within a pool. By segmenting price ranges into ticks, LPs are able to allocate capital precisely where it’s most effective (maybe where they think most trading will occur). For example, you might choose to concentrate liquidity within a specific range for a pair like USDC/SOL, optimizing your capital for expected market conditions. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca#what-is-tick-spacing) **What is Tick Spacing?** _Tick spacing_ describes the size (or granularity) of ticks and therefore price intervals, used for a given pool. Narrow spacing allows for higher precision when depositing liquidity. This increased precision is typically best suited to stable or price correlated pairs with predictable price movements. Wider spacing, on the other hand, suits volatile pairs, providing flexibility for asset pairs expected to see greater price volatility. _Tick spacing_ and _fee tiers_ on Orca are correlated ensuring LPs for more volatile pairs are more likely to earn higher yields to offset increase risk exposure. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca#what-are-fee-tiers) **What are Fee Tiers?** Fee tiers describe the transaction fee paid by traders when trading against the liquidity in a pool. These fees are used to generate yield reward LPs. There are a broad selection of fee tiers available on Orca from 0.01% to 2%. It is typical to find most liquidity for stable and price correlated pairs allocated to lower fee tiers due to lower price risk, while volatile pairs adopt higher rates to compensate for greater price risk exposure. LPs can effectively compete with one another by adjusting their liquidity across different fee tiers, seeking optimal returns. Typically periods of increased market volatility leads to an increase of movement of liquidity through these tiers (laddering) as LPs attempt to react dynamically to price fluctuations and meed demands of the prevailing, or expected, trading activity. On Orca, every fee tier operates as a separate pool, in competition with other fee tiers on the platform and also with external liquidity sources. This competition drives opportunities for arbitrage traders, and LPs to exploit fee and price differences between pools for profit. Periods of heightened market volatility amplify this competition, causing liquidity to flow rapidly between tiers. > **Now introducing Adaptive Fee Pools** > > With the introduction of Orca’s Adaptive Fee pools, LPs can now deposit into this new class of pool where fee tiers function as a base rate rather than a fixed rate. In contrast to traditional Fixed Fee pools—where the trader always pays a fixed fee based on the selected fee tier——Adaptive Fee pools allow the actual fee to increase in response to price volatility. This means LPs can still select their desired base fee tier (from 0.01% to 2%), but benefit from higher fees (and therefore potentially greater yield) during periods of elevated market volatility. e. Adaptive Fee pools represent a more flexible way for LPs to compete and respond to shifting market dynamics while maintaining the clarity and control of Orca's fee tier structure. ### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/understanding-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-on-orca#how-do-ticks-tick-spacing-and-fee-tiers-interrelate) **How do Ticks, Tick Spacing, and Fee Tiers interrelate?** On Orca tick spacing and fee 1. **Efficiency:** Narrow tick spacing optimizes capital efficiency in low-volatility, stable and price correlated pools. 2. **Risk and Coverage:** Wider tick spacing is ideal for volatile pairs, offsetting risks of increased price risks and divergence loss exposure. 3. **Trader Costs:** Concentrated liquidity reduces slippage and price impact for traders. 4. **Liquidity Provider Strategy:** LPs can leverage these concepts to strategically allocate liquidity, balancing potential earnings against risks. 5. **Yields:** Yields derived from trading fees are distributed to LPs based on their share of the liquidity in the tick the trade was executed against. 6. **Rewards Distribution:** Rewards for liquidity providers are distributed based on their share of the liquidity in the current tick. The more liquidity you provide to an active tick, the greater your share of the rewards. For more information about tick spacing and associated fee tiers for Solana and Eclipse, visit our [documentation on trading fees](https://docs.orca.so/useful-information/trading-fees) . **Conclusion** Ticks, tick spacing, and fee tiers are integral to our pool's functionality and understanding these concepts should empower you to improve your liquidity strategies. Dive into our pools armed with your new understanding, and hopefully unlock the full potential of Orca’s concentrated liquidity.

[PreviousDefinitions](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/definitions) Last updated 16 days ago --- # FAQs | Orca #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#docs-internal-guid-0a4fb5ba-7fff-11ea-6230-38a8005027b7) What is Orca? Orca is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that strives to be the epicenter of spot trading on Solana. Built by DeFi OGs with a user-first approach, Orca is now its smoothest, fastest and most reliable v2 iteration now. Combining constant-product like features on top of a concentrated liquidity AMM (CLMM) paired with an easy-to navigate intuitive UI, and unparalleled user support: Orca is accessible for traders and liquidity providers of all experience levels. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-the-difference-between-a-clmm-and-a-traditional-exchange) What is the difference between a CLMM and a traditional exchange? There are two primary ways to trade cryptocurrencies: traditional order book exchanges (CLOBs) and [automated market maker](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/amm-what-are-automated-market-makers) (AMM/CLMM) protocols. In a CLOB, buyers and sellers are matched based on price and the amount of tokens to trade. In contrast, AMMs allow users to trade against a pool of tokens rather than directly with other users. For blockchain applications, Orca believes that CLMM-based trading protocols offer a superior approach due to their simplicity and composability. With the right tools and education, a CLMM can achieve everything a CLOB can—and more. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-solana) Why Solana? Of the solutions competing to scale the blockchain ecosystem, Solana's performance stands out: 50,000 transactions per second, 400ms block times, and low transaction fees. What’s more, Orca has been continually impressed by the values, vision, and engineering progress of the Solana team. For these reasons, Orca believes that Solana is the best choice to support the next generation of DeFi apps. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-do-i-trade-on-orca) How do I trade on Orca? You can find a full guide for trading, [here](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/orca-for-traders-on-solana/how-to-guides/how-to-trade-using-orca-on-solana) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-an-adaptive-fee-pool) What is an Adaptive Fee Pool? An Adaptive Fee Pool dynamically adjusts trading fees based on market volatility. LPs still choose a base fee tier, but fees increase during volatile conditions—potentially earning more when trading activity generates increased price volatility → [Learn more about Adaptive Fee Pools](https://docs.orca.so/reference/educational-documents/adaptive-fee-pools) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-a-fixed-fee-pool) What is a Fixed Fee Pool? A Fixed Fee Pool charges the same swap fee for every trade, regardless of market conditions. LPs select a specific fee tier (e.g., 0.05%), and that rate remains constant. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-choose-orca-for-seasoned-defi-natives) Why choose Orca for seasoned DeFi natives? Orca continues to iterate in its quest to provide users with ever-improving reliability and efficiency. During periods of high volatility, on-chain trades often fail—precisely when success is most critical. Beneath the surface, Orca incorporates several technical improvements: * A front-end built with Next.js, which is slated to be open-sourced. * A custom Smart Router using up to six liquidity pools to provide optimal pricing. * Faster confirmation times and a simple retry mechanism. * More accurate stats and price APIs. * Dynamic priority fees. Additionally, if a competitor (via Jupiter) offers a better price, you can choose that quote instead, without even leaving Orca. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-does-spend-at-most-and-receive-at-least-mean-in-the-trade-details-dropdown) What does "spend at most" and "receive at least" mean in the trade details dropdown? The displayed figure represents the absolute maximum you will spend or the absolute minimum you’ll receive from your trade if slippage occurs to the maximum permitted extent. If slippage causes this figure to be exceeded, the trade will fail. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#where-can-i-find-more-information-on-the-fees-displayed-in-the-trade-details-dropdown) Where can I find more information on the fees displayed in the trade details dropdown? A small portion of your trade goes to liquidity providers for the pools your trade routes through and a further portion to the Orca treasury and Orca Climate Fund (details [here](https://docs.orca.so/reference/trading-fees) ). A further portion is network fees. The exact amount depends on the trade route. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-a-sub-route) What is a sub-route? Orca's Smart Router can route your trade through up to six channels to find the best price. A sub-route is an indirect path for a trade, such as ORCA > SOL > USDC, rather than trading directly between ORCA and USDC. These indirect trades are sometimes referred to as multihop trades. To ensure the best price, Orca’s Smart Router can also split trades across multiple routes simultaneously. You can view how your trade is composed by expanding the trade details dropdown. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#does-orca-have-a-governance-token) Does Orca have a governance token? The ORCA governance token was launched on 9th August 2021. See the [Token Treasury](https://docs.orca.so/token-holder-documentation/orca-for-community/token-treasury) page for more details. For details of Orca's governance process please see the [Governance User Guide](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-holders/governance/tutorials/governance-v0-user-guide) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#which-wallets-can-i-use-with-orca) Which wallets can I use with Orca? To connect to Orca you will need a compatible wallet, a list of currently supported wallets can be found [here](https://docs.orca.so/reference/wallets) . Orca plans to integrate other wallets that support Solana program execution, as they are released. Orca cannot and does not endorse nor guarantee the security of compatible wallets. Podmates should exercise caution and [do their own research](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-traders/how-to-guides/do-your-own-research-dyor) before interacting with or depositing to any wallet. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#can-i-use-orca-on-my-phone) Can I use Orca on my phone? You can use Orca on the phone with mobile device compatible wallets, you can find a list [here](https://docs.orca.so/reference/wallets) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#has-orca-been-audited) Has Orca been audited?

SOL is required to pay network fees. It is recommended to maintain a balance of at least 0.05 SOL. Actual fees are typically far lower, but for simplicity, a small minimum balance of SOL is required to transact. → For more details, see: [Pool network fees](https://docs.orca.so/reference/pool-network-fees) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#which-curves-do-orcas-pools-use) Which curves do Orca's pools use? Orca's uses concentrated liquidity pools, similar to ([but not identical to](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/master#how-do-orcas-pools-differ-from-uniswap-v3) ) Uniswap v3. Each liquidity provider chooses a range within which to provide liquidity: trades are executed using the combined liquidity of all individual [in-range](https://docs.orca.so/reference/definitions#in-range-and-out-of-range) curves. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-fees-do-i-pay-when-i-trade) What fees do I pay when I trade? * Taker fee: When trading, a percentage of the trade value is paid as a fee. These fees vary depending on the routing of your trade. The table [here](https://docs.orca.so/reference/trading-fees) shows the fee paid when trading on Orca, and how it is split between earnings for liquidity providers, Orca Treasury, and Climate Fund. * Network fee: when trading a nominal amount of SOL is also paid in the form of Solana network fees. The exact amount varies depending on the parameters of the trade; when trading a token for the first time, more SOL is required to add that token to your wallet. In the past, typically trades cost between 0.0001 — 0.001 SOL. More details about network fees can be found [here](https://docs.orca.so/reference/pool-network-fees) . Orca does not charge any additional fees. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-price-impact) What is price impact? The trade price on Orca depends on the size of the order, as price impact is influenced by trade size and available liquidity. As the number of tokens you buy from the pool increases, the token's price rises. This increase in price is called [price impact](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46462472_Price_Impact) . If your trade results in a price impact of 1% or more, the UI will display a _Price Impact Warning_. You can still proceed with the trade after acknowledging the warning. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-did-my-trade-fail) Why did my trade fail? If your trade fails, it is most likely due to market volatility causing the price to move beyond your slippage tolerance. When a trade fails, Orca will provide an error reason, and the UI will offer the opportunity to retry with the same parameters. Due to current smart contract limitations, trades that route through multiple pools have a higher likelihood of failing. However, the transaction may succeed if sent again. Orca recognizes that this can be frustrating, so the new version incorporates improvements in trade logic when using multiple pools. Additionally, Orca dynamically adjusts slippage and priority fees to increase the likelihood of success, even during periods of Solana network congestion. If you prefer to adjust these settings manually, please refer to the guide on adjusting slippage tolerance. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-does-orca-decide-which-tokens-to-list) How does Orca decide which tokens to list? Orca adds tokens to the Orca Token List based on information provided by the project and demonstrable community demand (e.g., volume or interest). As a decentralized protocol that facilitates trades, Orca aims to support any asset tradable on Solana. Permissionless listing allows advanced users to create initial pools for assets (see [Orca for Asset Listers](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-asset-listers) ). While creating an initial pool is intended for advanced users, anyone can create a pool for a token already listed on Orca using the simpler [pool creation process](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/classic-community-listing/creating-a-pool-tutorial) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#are-tokens-on-orca-wrapped) Are tokens on Orca wrapped? An increasing number of tokens on Orca are wrapped. There are several source protocols for wrapped tokens, please ensure to _Do Your Own Research._ #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#i-have-erc-20-tokens-in-metamask.-how-can-i-trade-them-on-orca) I have ERC-20 tokens in MetaMask. How can I trade them on Orca? To trade ERC-20s on Orca, you’ll need to convert them to SPL tokens by transferring them through a bridge, it is important to _do your own research_ before wrapping tokens. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-does-concentrated-liquidity-impact-the-trade-experience-on-orca) How does concentrated liquidity impact the trade experience on Orca? As a trader, there is nothing that need be done to take advantage of Orca's concentrated liquidity pools; all the magic happens behind the scenes. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#can-i-trade-programmatically-on-orca) Can I trade programmatically on Orca? Of course! You can interact with pools using [Typescript SDK](https://github.com/orca-so/whirlpools) . Please visit the [Orca Developer Portal](https://orca-so.gitbook.io/orca-developer-portal/orca/welcome) and [#📚│dev-resources](https://discord.com/channels/798712664590254081/1049775881008193716) .

There are a number of risks to using Orca: 1. Smart contract vulnerabilities: The Solana Mainnet is still in beta, and there is always the possibility of an exploit in the smart contract. To mitigate this Orca's concentrated liquidity product is [double audited](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/master#has-orca-been-audited) . 2. Divergence loss: also known as _impermanent loss_, occurs when token prices deviate from their initial deposit values, causing the value of liquidity to decrease compared to simply holding the tokens in a wallet. Due to market volatility, the value of deposited liquidity may be lower at the time of withdrawal than at the time of deposit, leading to potential losses for liquidity providers. For a detailed explanation, [blog post](https://pintail.medium.com/uniswap-a-good-deal-for-liquidity-providers-104c0b6816f2) from the Uniswap team is an excellent resource. The risk of divergence loss can be higher in concentrated liquidity pools. Divergence loss, as a metric, is a comparison of the value of a liquidity position versus simply holding the assets. Loss in value due to changes in the underlying asset’s price is not considered divergence loss. 3. Wallet providers: Orca is compatible with a wide range of wallets (see compatible [wallets](https://docs.orca.so/reference/wallets) ). A wallet exploit could affect users. Orca **CANNOT** and does **NOT** endorse nor guarantee the security of compatible wallets. Podmates should exercise caution and do their own research before interacting with or depositing to any wallet. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-was-i-charged-higher-network-fees-than-usual) Why was I charged higher network fees than usual? When setting your chosen range, if it includes a lower and/or upper price limit that falls within price ranges where no positions have been created previously, you may incur additional network fees of 0.07 SOL or 0.14 SOL. These fees are non-refundable, so carefully review the quoted fees before authorizing the transaction. To avoid these costs, consider adjusting your range. These fees are part of Solana's network fees, used as rent for an account called a tickArray, which is essential for Orca's pool operations. Orca cannot control these fees, and they may change if Solana updates its network fee structure. For more details on other fees, see: [Pool Network Fees](https://docs.orca.so/reference/pool-network-fees) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-would-i-provide-liquidity-on-orca) Why would I provide liquidity on Orca? Whether or not you provide liquidity is entirely up to you. Users typically provide liquidity to Orca’s pools to earn trading fees. For example, if you provide liquidity to a SOL/USDC pool, you will receive a pool position NFT in return. This NFT acts as a receipt for your deposited tokens and is needed to withdraw them. Each time a trade routes through your selected SOL/USDC pool, a fee is paid by the trader (the taker), a portion of which is shared with liquidity providers (the makers). See [Trading fees](https://docs.orca.so/reference/trading-fees) for details. These fees can be [harvested](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/orca-v2-how-to-guides/how-to-harvest-yield) at any time. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-do-i-earn-fees-on-orca) How do I earn fees on Orca? When you provide liquidity in a pool you earn a [maker fee](https://docs.orca.so/reference/trading-fees) from each trade executed against your liquidity, some pools also attract rewards. All earned yields are [harvestable](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/orca-v2-how-to-guides/how-to-harvest-yield) at any time. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#can-i-harvest-yield-from-just-one-position) Can I harvest yield from just one position? Yes, on Orca v2 it is possible to harvest a single position through Orca's UI, you can find instructions [here](https://docs.orca.so/solana-documentation/orca-on-solana/providing-liquidity-on-solana/managing-your-portfolio-on-solana/how-to-harvest-yield) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#as-a-liquidity-provider-do-i-get-orca-tokens-as-a-reward) As a liquidity provider do I get ORCA tokens as a reward? Orca occasionally distributes ORCA token rewards to encourage deeper liquidity for specific trading pairs. Eligible pools are clearly marked in the explorer. Pools that are not eligible for ORCA rewards will still generate trading fees from the provided asset pair. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-are-the-displayed-yields-calculated) How are the displayed yields calculated? Yields displayed are based on the formula 24h Yield / TVL. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-is-the-current-price-in-a-pool-determined) How is the current price in a pool determined? The current price in an existing pool is determined solely by market action through trading. Orca cannot alter or interfere with this price, even if the pool is empty. The initial price in a new pool is set by the pool creator. To avoid losses, users should ensure the current price matches their expectations before depositing liquidity or trading, and pool creators should take care when setting the initial price. **REVIEW CAREFULLY** it is critical you check your range and the current price of the pool match your intentions, depositing liquidity at a price not consummate with wider market values may result in loss. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#can-i-withdraw-my-liquidity-at-any-time) Can I withdraw my liquidity at any time? Yes, the Orca protocol allows you to withdraw liquidity at any time. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#can-i-yield-farm-stake-on-orca) Can I yield farm / stake on Orca? Some pools attract rewards in the form of token emissions, pools currently receiving emissions can be found here. Trading fees and emission yields accrue continuously and can be harvested any time with no lock-up. Orca does not offer single-sided staking. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-are-the-risks-and-advantages-of-concentrated-liquidity-pools) What are the risks and advantages of concentrated liquidity pools? In Orca's concentrated liquidity pools, liquidity providers compete for trading fees and token emissions, which are distributed based on the parameters of their positions. The effects of leverage mean that tighter positions receive higher yields than wider ones. However, tighter ranges are also more vulnerable to Divergence Loss (also known as Impermanent Loss or IL) and are more likely to fall out of range. Out-of-range positions do not earn. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-doesnt-orca-display-aprs-for-pools) Why doesn't Orca display APRs for pools? Projecting an APR based on past activity is not a reliable way to predict yields over a year. Orca displays the pool's 24-hour Yield/TVL, but it's important to remember that past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. You can adjust settings in the UI to display an annualized yield projection: _Annualized Yield / TVL (24h)_. However, it's important to note that projecting an annualized yield using 24 hours of activity is illustrative only and not should not relied up on. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-token-represents-my-deposit) What token represents my deposit? In traditional constant product pools, liquidity provider (LP) tokens represent ownership of liquidity. These pools have a fixed range and no multiplier, making all LP tokens identical and fungible. In Orca's concentrated liquidity pools, however, liquidity providers set the parameters of their positions, making each LP token unique and non-fungible. Positions in Orca's pools are represented by NFTs, which serve as a receipt for your liquidity. If a pool position NFT is burned or lost, the associated liquidity and any yield cannot be withdrawn and are irrevocably lost. For more information, see [What is a pool position NFT](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-a-pool-position-nft-can-i-sell-it) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-a-pool-position-nft-can-i-sell-it) What is a pool position NFT? Can I sell it? The pool position NFT is an LP token that represents a position in a pool. If it is burned or lost, the associated liquidity cannot be withdrawn. It is technically possible to trade a pool position NFT on secondary markets; however, if sold, the associated liquidity is also transferred to the buyer and will no longer be held by the original owner. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-do-price-ranges-work) How do price ranges work? In traditional constant product pools, liquidity is provided across the entire price range (from 0 to ∞). In Orca's concentrated liquidity pools, however, users select the minimum and maximum prices for their liquidity. It's important to note that these limits are not arbitrary; users must choose from a set of evenly distributed, discrete ticks. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-happens-if-the-price-goes-above-or-below-my-limits) What happens if the price goes above or below my limits? Trading continuously influences the fluctuation of a pool's price and token balances. As users trade token B for token A, the pool's price shifts toward the position's maximum limit. Due to the laws of supply and demand, the value of token A increases relative to token B. Once the price reaches the maximum limit, all of token A will have been sold, leaving the position entirely composed of token B. Conversely, when the price approaches the position's minimum limit, the reverse occurs. If the current price reaches or exceeds the minimum or maximum limits, the position becomes dormant, ceasing to provide liquidity and, therefore, stops earning incentives or trading fees. However, if the price moves back within the position's range, liquidity provision, incentives, and trading fees will resume. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-can-i-provide-liquidity-if-my-position-is-out-of-range) How can I provide liquidity if my position is out-of-range? If your position is out-of-range, you can either wait for it to return to the price range (if expected) or provide liquidity to a new range. Should you wish to set a new range, you will need to withdraw your liquidity. Since the tokens withdrawn will not match the required deposit ratio of an in-range position it will be necessary to trade, you can do this using the Autoswap toggle. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#does-concentrated-liquidity-mitigate-divergence-loss) Does concentrated liquidity mitigate Divergence Loss? No. The exposure to divergence loss increases relative to th of the selected range. However, concentrated liquidity, pools allow users to deposit less liquidity and get the same or higher yields, due to the multiplier effect of [leverage](https://docs.orca.so/reference/definitions#leverage) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#why-isnt-the-deposit-ratio-50-50-for-my-range) Why isn’t the deposit ratio 50:50 for my range? The deposit ratio is dependent on the selected price range and its relationship to the current price: the closer the current price is, to either of the min or max limits than it is to the other, the less balanced the deposit ratio will be. A full range position will have a 50:50 deposit ratio. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-is-the-leverage-shown-in-the-ui-calculated) How is the leverage shown in the UI calculated? ![](https://docs.orca.so/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2506703662-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252F-MPvyETgLWLe-8rEIO01%252Fuploads%252FwuGaccYsyWhmqigoRZ4X%252Fleverage.png%3Falt%3Dmedia%26token%3Dafe36395-6016-47f3-87bf-a80c627a2161&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=4b8496a&sv=2) In this formula Pu is the max price, and Pl is the min price for the elected price range. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-do-orcas-clmm-pools-differ-from-uniswap-v3) How do Orca's CLMM pools differ from Uniswap V3? Beside the obvious advantages of Solana's low transaction fees and fast transactions, Orca's pools have: * a simpler, more guided UX for concentrated liquidity provision; * a [double audited](https://docs.orca.so/orca-for-liquidity-providers/master#has-orca-been-audited) , custom built, and open sourced smart contract designed for the Solana virtual machine; * built-in yield farming—a first for any concentrated liquidity AM. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-much-of-the-emissions-rewards-will-i-earn) How much of the emissions rewards will I earn? When emission-based rewards are applied, a fixed number of tokens are distributed each second according to the weekly emission rate. These rewards are shared proportionally among liquidity providers based on their share of the pool’s in-range liquidity. For example, if you hold 1% of the liquidity in the current tick, you will receive 1% of the rewards distributed every second. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#what-is-the-fee-structure-for-using-orcas-pools-and-are-there-different-fee-rates-for-different-pair) What is the fee structure for using Orca's pools, and are there different fee rates for different pairs? When creating a pool users can choose a fee rate, which will determine the taker fee paid by traders. How this fee is divided can be seen here. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-do-i-track-pnl-profit-and-loss-after-providing-liquidity-in-pools) How do I track PnL (profit and loss) after providing liquidity in pools? First, decide whether your PnL (Profit and Loss) will be tracked in terms of the deposited tokens or relative to a currency such as USD. Make a note of the token values at the time of your initial deposit (if you did not do this, these values can be retrieved from a blockchain explorer). You will also need to track harvested yield and any additional deposits. Provided you have this data, the formula to calculate your PnL is straightforward: **PnL = Final Value of Position + Accumulated Fees and Rewards - Value of Deposits** **Disclaimer**: The content of this communication is not financial advice and should not be relied upon as such.

No. If a Pool Position NFT has been burned there is no way for Orca (or anyone else) to access the liquidity that was associated with it. The NFT is the proof to the blockchain that your wallet owns the liquidity, if that proof is destroyed you can no longer interact with the liquidity it represented. Because Orca's pools are non-custodial it is not possible for Orca to alter the ownership retrospectively, nor assign the ownership to a new NFT. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#will-the-old-community-listing-feature-be-deprecated) Will the old Community Listing feature be deprecated? Yes, the older Community Listing feature is not included in Orca v2, which has a completely new pool creation flow. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#does-orca-charge-fees-to-create-pools) Does Orca charge fees to create pools? No, only Solana network and Metaplex fees are payable. **What are Token Extensions?** Token Extensions are advanced functionalities for tokens to comply with legal requirements. Majority of the tokens created do not need Token Extension functionalities turned on. For more information, check out our [Token Extensions document](https://docs.orca.so/reference/useful-information/token-extensions) . #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#i-created-a-new-pool-but-cant-find-it-in-the-ui-where-is-it) I created a new pool but can't find it in the UI, where is it? It can take up to 15 minutes for a new pool to appear in the UI. Forcing a reload in your browser may reduce this time. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-can-i-change-the-token-price-in-my-pool-after-i-create-it) How can I change the token price in my pool after I create it? You can't simply change a price in a pool, only market action can change a pool price. If you need help calculating the size of trade needed to move the current price to the target price please reach out to Orca.

This is up to you, but be aware that once a pool is created your token will be visible in the UI and anyone with any of your token will be able to add liquidity to the pool and/or trade against it. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-can-i-delete-a-pool-i-created) How can I delete a pool I created? It is not possible to delete a pool, it is therefore critical to take care during the creation process. #### [](https://docs.orca.so/reference/faqs#how-can-i-remove-the-warning-triangle-that-shows-on-my-token) How can I remove the warning triangle that shows on my token?

Select _**Liquidity**_ at the top of the main screen. 2. With the Explorer tab active click on _**+Create a pool**_. 3. Read the explanation in the _Create a pool_ modal, and then select _**Get started**_. 4. Enter _Token A_ using its label, symbol or mint address, then repeat for _Token B_. 5. (Optional) if you have not already done so select _**Connect wallet**_. 6. Select _**Continue to next step**_. 7. Carefully set initial deposit parameters. Note: these parameters are critical to how your pool will operate. Pool fee rates are analogous to a spread in a traditional orderbook: a 0.30% fee rate equates to a 60 bps spread for traders. Different fee tiers are useful for market makers during varying levels of market volatility. Please do your research and swim carefully when creating your pool. 8. When you are ready select _**Preview**_. 9. Review details of your pool carefully. Warning: high transaction fees: creating a pool uses a lot of space on the blockchain. Solana network fees will be higher than for standard transactions. 10. Select _**Create pool**_ and deposit, review and approve in your wallet: this transaction creates your pool. 11. A second transaction is needed to deposit to the pool, review and approve in your wallet. 12. That's it! Your pool is live! Note: you can find links in the modal to your pool, but new pools may take up to 10 minutes to appear in the explorer. 13. (Optional) select _**Add token to the Orca Token List**_ if you wish to add a token to Orca’s token list - this will open a form on which you can submit a request.
