Providing liquidity
How GridFi lets you supply liquidity to verified tokenized markets, what runs underneath, and what can go wrong.
GridFi's Liquidity product lets you deposit both sides of a verified market, for example NVIDIA / SOL, and earn a share of the trading fees that market generates. GridFi does not run its own automated market maker. Positions are created in Meteora DLMM, an established concentrated-liquidity venue on Solana. GridFi provides the interface, the list of approved markets, the analytics and the RWA-specific context.

GridFi registry (approved pools) + venue data + asset registryCustody
- Tokens move straight from your wallet into a position account that you own. GridFi never receives, holds or can move them.
- GridFi's servers build unsigned transactions and relay the ones your wallet has signed. They hold no keys and cannot sign for you.
- A new position also has its own one-time account key, generated in your browser and used only to create that account.
- Positions stay manageable directly on the venue even if GridFi is unavailable.
Which markets appear
Only pools GridFi has reviewed and added to its liquidity registry are shown. Each one must pair a verified asset from the asset registry with USDC or SOL, and is checked onchain before being added: pool owned by the DLMM program, token mints matching exactly, trading enabled, not flagged by the venue. GridFi picks one pool per market, normally the deepest active one. Other pools for the same token are never listed automatically. Operators can pause deposits for a market without affecting existing positions.
Strategies
Instead of choosing raw price bins, you pick a strategy. GridFi turns it into a price range around the live pool price, based on the asset class and the pool's price step. Positions are limited to one venue account, so pools with a very fine price step may get narrower ranges than the targets below. The actual range is always shown before you sign.
| Asset class | Concentrated | Balanced | Wide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stocks | ±3% | ±8% | ±18% |
| ETFs | ±2% | ±5% | ±12% |
| Commodities | ±1.5% | ±4% | ±10% |
| Treasuries | ±0.5% | ±1.5% | ±4% |
| Private markets | ±5% | ±12% | ±25% |
The range is always built around the pool's own price, not the issuer's reference price. Where GridFi tracks a reference price, it is shown alongside as context.
Fees and returns
- Each pool charges a base swap fee, plus a variable fee during volatile periods. LPs share it in proportion to their liquidity at the traded price, after the venue's protocol share.
- GridFi shows 24-hour volume and fees paid to LPs from the venue's data. It does not show projected APR/APY: past fees don't predict future ones.
- Unclaimed fees are read from your position account. GridFi doesn't estimate profit and loss because it has no reliable entry valuation for every position.
- Creating a position locks about 0.06 SOL of refundable account rent, returned when the position is fully withdrawn and closed. Network fees apply to every transaction.
Risks
- Issuer controls such as freeze, pause and permanent delegate apply to tokens inside a position just as in a wallet.
- Pool prices can sit above or below the underlying's reference price, especially when the underlying market is closed.
- Positions depend on the venue's onchain program. Bugs or outages there are outside GridFi's control.
