[ LIQUIDITY DOCUMENTATION ]PONKI · ROBINHOOD CHAIN

Understand the position.

Ponki is a place to learn the mechanics of liquidity: choosing a pool, thinking about a range and reading the risks. You can connect an EVM wallet on the home page to display its address. Ponki does not show current prices or execute transactions.

Put a slice to work.

Providing liquidity means placing assets into a pool that other people can trade against. In a concentrated-liquidity pool, a provider chooses a price interval where their funds are active. The position changes with the market and may earn a share of swap fees while active.

Before considering a position, identify the asset pair, fee tier and network. Then think about how much capital to allocate, which range you would choose, and what could happen if price moves beyond it. These are decisions to understand, not actions available on Ponki.

Ponki is an educational guide. Wallet connection displays an address only; it does not display live pools, hold assets or execute deposits.

Find the right market.

Every pool has an asset pair and a fee tier. The same token can appear in several pools with different quote assets or fees. Check the actual token addresses and pool details on the platform you intend to use; a familiar symbol alone is not enough.

  • 24-hour volume and change describe recent activity; neither predicts future demand or returns.
  • Estimated market cap uses a supply and price estimate. It is not necessarily circulating market cap or the value of any company.
  • Pool identity includes the network, assets and fee tier. Verify those details and the relevant contract before any real transaction.

Market figures change continuously. Ponki's topic list is not a directory and contains no live pool count, prices or volumes.

Start with a plan.

  1. Identify a real pool. Check its network, asset addresses, quote asset and fee tier on the platform where you might act.
  2. Choose an allocation. As an example, you might keep 70% of a token balance aside and consider 30% for liquidity. This is an illustration, not a default or recommendation.
  3. Examine a range. Compare a narrow interval with a wider one and consider what happens when price leaves it.
  4. Review both assets. Before any real transaction, check required amounts, minimums, fees, permissions and the wallet prompt in the application you use.
A two-asset deposit needs both assets. Allocating 30% of one token balance does not automatically supply the other token or define the full position value.

One token or two?

A concentrated position whose range crosses the current price generally requires both assets. The amounts depend on price and the chosen range. Some intervals entirely to one side of price can be one-sided; that does not mean any particular pool or application supports creating them.

A one-token deposit interface may swap part of that asset to obtain the other. Such a swap can introduce price impact and extra costs. Do not assume a one-token route is available or equivalent to a two-token deposit.

Network gas, token approvals, wrapped assets and minimum received amounts can all matter. Ponki does not calculate deposit amounts or offer a funding route; inspect the actual transaction where you choose to act.

Know what a range does.

Concentrated liquidity places capital inside a price interval. When price moves outside that interval, the position may stop collecting swap fees until trading returns to its range. The distribution inside the interval also affects how holdings change as price moves.

  • Near the price. A tighter interval concentrates liquidity but can move out of range sooner and needs closer attention.
  • Wide range. Spreads liquidity across a broader interval. More coverage is not a guarantee of better returns or smaller losses.
  • Edge-weighted shape. Puts more weight toward the interval's edges. It is not a stop-loss or guaranteed take-profit order.

These shapes explain trade-offs; Ponki does not recommend, save, simulate or automatically rebalance a strategy. Historical charts cannot guarantee the behavior of a future position.

Fees are not profit.

Liquidity in range can earn a share of swaps. The pool's trading fee tier is the charge paid by traders, not an APR or the return to an individual provider. Activity, position size, time in range, asset prices and costs all affect the outcome.

A useful accounting check is: current position value and unclaimed fees, plus withdrawn principal and claimed fees, minus deposits and costs not already included. Do not deduct the same charge twice. This is an explanatory formula, not a live PNL calculation.

Fees may accrue in either asset. The value of those assets can change, and inventory changes, transaction costs, protocol charges and other risks can exceed fee income. Always distinguish a pool's swap fee tier from any fees charged when entering, managing or exiting.

Review. Sign. Manage.

In a self-custody liquidity flow, a wallet signs approvals and transactions. Review asset amounts, the price interval, minimums, permissions and contract addresses before signing. Never give a website your seed phrase. The exact position representation and exit route depend on the protocol.

Keep a record of transaction hashes and position identifiers. Check how that particular protocol handles fees, withdrawal and any required approvals before entering. An exit can require more than one action, and its value can differ from the initial deposit.

Self-custody does not eliminate contract, token, market or liquidity risk. Integration tests are not an independent security audit or a guarantee that a live transaction will succeed.

See the public record.

On a public blockchain, wallet addresses and their transactions are generally visible. A block explorer may show transfers and contract interactions, but an address does not automatically reveal the person behind it. Shared screenshots or profiles can connect an identity to on-chain activity, so consider privacy before sharing.

Someone else's position is not an endorsement or a template to copy. Ponki does not index wallets, create profiles, display a social feed or follow other users.

Keep track of changes.

A position's risk can change when price approaches or leaves its range, liquidity shifts, or token prices move. If you use an external tracker, check what it measures, when it refreshes and whether it supports the pool and network you actually use.

Missing or delayed data is not proof of zero fees or a safe position. Alerts are not automatic trading, protection or rebalancing. Ponki does not track positions or send notifications.

Understand the numbers.

To understand a result, account for deposits, withdrawals, current asset values, claimed and unclaimed fees, and costs. Be clear whether a number is estimated or realized, and avoid counting the same fee or withdrawal twice.

Price changes and changing asset balances can outweigh fees. A dashboard may omit gas, unclaimed charges, unsupported transactions or data from another wallet. Ponki does not calculate live PNL or promise returns.

What can Ponki do?

Ponki offers a visual introduction, searchable learning topics, a longer guide and an optional EVM wallet connection that shows the connected address. You can browse explanations about markets, allocations, ranges, funding, fees, ownership, public activity and risk.

Ponki does not provide a live pool directory, price feed, allocation calculator, deposit, fee claim, withdrawal, social profile or alerts. Connecting a wallet never authorizes a transaction, and nothing you do on this website moves funds.

Contracts and risk.

Different liquidity protocols use different contracts and rules. Before interacting with one, verify its deployed addresses, network, token contracts, pool parameters, security information and exit process from that protocol's official materials. A similar-looking interface is not proof that a contract is safe.

Educational examples on Ponki are not investment advice, a contract audit or an endorsement of any pool. Ponki has no deployed liquidity contract or transaction route of its own. It is not affiliated with Robinhood Markets.
