UNI (UNI)

New research by @dune and @1inch tracked concentrated liquidity on Uniswap, PancakeSwap and Aerodrome across 7 chains for 26 weeks.

85% of DeFi liquidity is underutilized at any one time i.e up to $1.6B doing nothing.

➥ ~$600M is fully idle and out of range
➥ LPs in those positions are missing ~$175–195M in fees every year

On average, 29.5% of concentrated capital stayed out of range across the whole period. Even the highest-turnover concentrated pools still leave massive TVL stagnant, while the vast majority of stablecoin supply never enters DeFi yield pools at all. This isn’t a temporary issue, it’s like a structural problem now.

The good news is 1inch is building a fix to solve this.

i've seen tons of implementations of uni v4 hooks that are actually novel

the one everyone is trying to pump on RH is probably the least interesting one i've ever seen (it's essentially just a heavy token tax and random RWA index)

besides the fact that index tokens have never worked in crypto, is the dev even doxxed? or are the contracts audited?

i'd rather die holding a meme in cash cat than chase that (not a recommendation either). just please know what you are holding.

30% of DEX liquidity earns absolutely nothing

$542M sitting idle every week on Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Aerodrome. Retail LPs set a range and ghost it. $150M in annualized fees just evaporating.

Concentrated liquidity was supposed to fix capital efficiency.
