How these tools are built
Every calculator here implements a published formula, states the inputs it needs in plain terms, and lists what it deliberately excludes. The shared calculator methodology publishes the formulas and the exact worked vectors used by the automated tests.
The concentrated-liquidity calculator implements bounded position mathematics shared by Uniswap v3-style pools. Meteora has a separate calculator because DLMM uses fixed-price, constant-sum bins and a protocol-specific dynamic-fee formula. The impermanent loss calculator covers full-range weighted pools and bounded scenarios. The fee calculator keeps trading fees and token incentives separate, while the LP return calculator combines observed income and costs against holding. None predicts the future or substitutes for reading a pool's current state.
What we do not build
There is no liquidity pool tracker or LP position tracker here, and there will not be one until it can be built on live data we control. A DeFi liquidity tracker that reports stale or partial position state is worse than no tracker at all, because it invites decisions on numbers nobody verified.
For live position tracking today, reconstruct positions on Revert Finance, read pool state directly from a block explorer, and use pool analytics on Dune or DeFiLlama for volume and fee history. The frameworks in Onchain Liquidity Metrics and Token Liquidity Analysis explain which measurements to take from those sources and how each one misleads.
For the reasoning behind each model, start with The Impermanent Loss Formula and LP Fees vs Impermanent Loss. To verify a live position against onchain data rather than a model, reconstruct it on Revert Finance and compare the two.
