Learn LP — Understanding Liquidity Provision on Solana

Learn LP — Understanding Liquidity Provision on Solana

The Problem

Liquidity provision (LP) is one of the most important concepts in DeFi, and one of the least understood. Impermanent loss, pool mechanics, fee structures — most guides either oversimplify or assume too much prior knowledge.

What It Is

Learn LP is an educational resource for understanding liquidity provision on Solana. It covers the mechanics of how LP positions work, what impermanent loss actually means in practice, and how to think about LP as a strategy.

What You'll Learn

The resource covers core LP concepts in practical terms — how AMMs work, how concentrated liquidity differs from traditional LP, what drives fee income, how impermanent loss calculates, and how to evaluate whether LP makes sense for your situation.

Solana-Specific Context

Solana has some of the most sophisticated LP venues in DeFi — Orca Whirlpools, Meteora DLMM, Raydium CLMM. Learning LP in the context of Solana means understanding concentrated liquidity and active position management, not just "put tokens in a pool."

Why I Built It

Too many people LP without understanding what they're doing. They see yield numbers, they deposit, and then they're confused when their position underperforms. Learn LP exists to close that knowledge gap — so people can make informed decisions about their liquidity.
