Squid

Slide 01

Data observability and automation for passive LPs

Squid turns passive LPing from a blind yield bet into a data-driven, monitorable, and eventually automated strategy.

The problem

Slide 02

Passive LPs are allocating capital with trader-grade risk and retail-grade visibility

Core LP questions around fees, IL, pool health, exits, and rebalancing are still answered by guesswork.

Am I earning enough fees?

Hard to know

Is IL eating my yield?

Hard to quantify

Is this pool healthy?

Mostly unclear

Should I keep this position open?

No strong signal

When should I exit or rebalance?

Mostly guesswork

Optimizing IL / Yield

Slide 03

LP performance depends on entry and exit timing

You cannot optimize what you cannot track. Passive LPs need signals before they can make timing decisions confidently.

Decision 01

When to enter

Decision 02

When to exit

Observation

Timing dominates LP performance, but the timing inputs are still under-instrumented.

Why passive LPs

Slide 04

The missing product is built for LPs who want trust, not trading complexity

Active LPs already have tools and custom systems. Passive LPs want simple, reliable visibility and sticky long-term participation.

Market gap

Slide 05

Current tools stop short of passive-LP observability

Interfaces, indexers, and pro LP tooling all leave a gap between raw data and actionable signals for normal LPs.

1Uniswap interface

Great for basic LPing, limited analytics

2Active LP tools

Powerful but designed for sophisticated users

3Custom LP systems

Not accessible to everyday LPs

4Indexers / events

Miss granular lifecycle context that hooks can capture

Problem validation

Slide 06

The pain keeps appearing in real conversations

The need for better IL, yield, and pool-health visibility showed up repeatedly across builders and prospective LPs.

Personal experience

Researching IL and yield patterns for passive LPs surfaced very little useful data.

Alex

LPs are hard to convince without showing IL, the upside of solving it, and the concrete user benefit.

Tom + friends

Passive LPs want a dashboard that explains what is happening to their assets.

Silvio

Active LPs have custom-built systems, but passive LPs do not have equivalent tooling.

Solution

Slide 07

Squid is a Uniswap v4 hook-powered observability layer

A hook data layer, a dashboard, and a simulator form the foundation for better passive LP decisions.

Hook data layer

Collect granular lifecycle metrics from pools and LP positions at the source.

Dashboard

Turn raw pool and position activity into simple signals for passive LPs.

Simulator

Help developers and analysts test liquidity flows, order flows, and LP behavior.

How it works

Slide 08

Hook data becomes signals, decisions, and eventually automation

Squid sits in the liquidity lifecycle, then turns pool and position events into metrics, interfaces, and actions.

Slide 09

The product surface makes LP health visible

Pool health, position health, LP behavior, risk signals, and yield signals become legible enough to act on.

Pool health

Liquidity utilisation (current / max)

Lifetime LP retention

% active positions

Trade flow skewness

Position health

Current amount of tokens

Fees accrued in tokens

Net PnL per token

Active swap flow per token

More relevant metrics will be added in future as Squid expands the observability layer and sharpens LP-facing signals.

Decision surface reduction

Slide 10

Reduce complexity without hiding risk

The goal is not to abstract away reality. It is to collapse complexity into a smaller, clearer decision surface.

Core pillars

Slide 11

Three pieces of infrastructure make Squid viable

Uniswap v4 hooks, Unichain economics, and Reactive Network create the technical base for observability and action.

Uniswap v4 hooks

Collect purpose-built pool and position metrics where important LP behavior actually happens.

Unichain

Low-cost DEX-native execution and storage make denser observability practical.

Reactive Network

Watch conditions across chains and trigger alerts or actions around liquidity management.

Who benefits

Slide 12

Start with passive LPs, serve a wider liquidity ecosystem

The data layer can support analysts, developers, aggregators, and protocols in addition to individual LPs.

Passive LPs

Better visibility, simpler decisions, position health signals

Analysts

Granular LP and pool behavior data

Developers

Hook-based metrics infrastructure

Aggregators

New data feeds for LP-focused products

Protocols

More trust and more sticky liquidity

Future scope

Slide 13

Observability first, then intelligence, automation, and cross-chain management

The prototype explores metric breadth today, while the production path narrows toward efficient signals and action triggers.

Phase 1

Observability

Step 1

Track pool, LP, and position metrics through hooks.

Phase 2

Intelligence

Step 2

Convert raw metrics into pool health, position health, IL risk, and yield quality signals.

Phase 3

Automation

Step 3

Trigger alerts and actions based on LP-defined preferences.

Phase 4

Cross-chain liquidity management

Step 4

Use Reactive Network to monitor and act across chains.
