Liquidity Analysis — DEX Depth Assessment for Solana Tokens
Liquidity analysis answers three critical questions before every trade: **Can I get in at a reasonable price?** **Can I get out when I need to?** and **Is this pool safe?** Without it, you risk excessive slippage, failed exits, and rug pulls.

Liquidity Analysis — DEX Depth Assessment for Solana Tokens
Liquidity analysis answers three critical questions before every trade: **Can I get in at a reasonable price?** **Can I get out when I need to?** and **Is this pool safe?** Without it, you risk excessive slippage, failed exits, and rug pulls.
Why Liquidity Analysis Matters
**Position sizing**: Maximum position size is bounded by available liquidity. A $10K position in a pool with $20K TVL will move the price significantly. Rule of thumb: keep trade size under 2% of pool depth to limit slippage below 1%.
**Execution cost**: Slippage is a direct cost. On a 5 SOL buy, the difference between 0.3% and 3% slippage is real money lost on every entry and exit.
**Rug risk detection**: Thin liquidity, single pools, unlocked LP tokens, and newly created pools are warning signs. Liquidity analysis catches these before you enter.
**Exit planning**: Entry liquidity may differ from exit liquidity. If LP is unlocked and owned by one wallet, it can be pulled at any time.
Key Concepts
### Total Value Locked (TVL)
Total value of assets deposited in a pool. For a SOL/TOKEN pool with 100 SOL and 1M TOKEN at $0.01 each, TVL = 100 * SOL_price + 1M * $0.01. TVL alone is insufficient — you need depth at the current price range.
### Liquidity Depth
How much can be traded before moving the price X%. In constant-product AMMs, depth is uniform. In concentrated liquidity (CLMM), depth varies by price range — thick near the current price, thin or zero outside active ranges.
### Concentration Factor (CLMM)
Concentrated liquidity pools focus capital in a narrow price range, providing deeper liquidity within that range but nothing outside it. A pool with $50K TVL concentrated in a +/-5% range provides the same depth as a $500K constant-product pool within that range, but zero depth beyond it.
### Slippage Curve
Slippage is not linear. Plotting slippage against trade size produces a curve that's gentle for small trades and steep for large ones. The shape depends on pool type, TVL, and concentration.
### Pool Composition
Who provides liquidity matters. Locked LP tokens cannot be withdrawn (safer). Single-sided liquidity means the pool is imbalanced. Pool age indicates stability — pools older than 7 days with consistent TVL are more reliable.
Data Sources
Four complementary data sources, from free to comprehensive:
| Source | Auth Required | Best For | Limitations |
|--------|--------------|----------|-------------|
| DexScreener | None | Quick pool lookup, liquidity.usd | No on-chain pool details |
| Jupiter Quote API | None | Empirical slippage at any size | Aggregate across pools |
| Birdeye | API key | Detailed pool data, trade history | Rate limited on free tier |
| On-chain | RPC only | LP lock status, exact reserves | Requires program knowledge |

Core Analysis Pipeline
### Step 1: Identify Pools
Fetch all pools for a token. Most Solana tokens have multiple pools across Raydium, Orca, and Meteora.
import httpx
def get_pools(mint: str) -> list[dict]:
"""Fetch all DEX pools for a token from DexScreener."""
resp = httpx.get(f"https://api.dexscreener.com/tokens/v1/solana/{mint}")
resp.raise_for_status()
pairs = resp.json()
return [p for p in pairs if p.get("liquidity", {}).get("usd", 0) > 0]
### Step 2: Measure Depth
For each pool, extract liquidity metrics:
def extract_depth(pool: dict) -> dict:
"""Extract liquidity metrics from a DexScreener pool."""
return {
"dex": pool.get("dexId", "unknown"),
"liquidity_usd": pool.get("liquidity", {}).get("usd", 0),
"volume_24h": pool.get("volume", {}).get("h24", 0),
"pool_age_hours": _pool_age_hours(pool.get("pairCreatedAt", 0)),
"pair_address": pool.get("pairAddress", ""),
}
### Step 3: Estimate Slippage
Use Jupiter quotes at multiple sizes to build an empirical slippage curve. This captures real routing across all pools:
import httpx
SOL_MINT = "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"
LAMPORTS = 1_000_000_000
async def estimate_slippage(token_mint: str, sol_amounts: list[float]) -> list[dict]:
"""Query Jupiter for slippage at multiple trade sizes.
Args:
token_mint: Token mint address to buy.
sol_amounts: List of SOL amounts to test (e.g., [0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10]).
Returns:
List of dicts with sol_amount, output_tokens, price_per_token, slippage_bps.
"""
results = []
base_price = None
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
for sol in sol_amounts:
lamports = int(sol * LAMPORTS)
resp = await client.get(
"https://api.jup.ag/quote/v1",
params={
"inputMint": SOL_MINT,
"outputMint": token_mint,
"amount": str(lamports),
"slippageBps": 5000,
},
)
if resp.status_code != 200:
continue
data = resp.json()
out_amount = int(data["outAmount"])
price = sol / out_amount if out_amount > 0 else 0
if base_price is None:
base_price = price
slippage_bps = int((price - base_price) / base_price * 10000) if base_price > 0 else 0
results.append({
"sol_amount": sol,
"output_tokens": out_amount,
"price_per_token": price,
"slippage_bps": max(0, slippage_bps),
})
return results
### Step 4: Assess Concentration
For CLMM pools (Orca Whirlpool, Raydium CLMM, Meteora DLMM), liquidity may be concentrated in a narrow range. Check if the current price is within the active range and how deep liquidity extends:
def assess_concentration(pools: list[dict]) -> dict:
"""Assess concentration risk from pool data."""
clmm_pools = [p for p in pools if p.get("dexId") in ("raydium", "orca") and "clmm" in p.get("labels", [])]
cpmm_pools = [p for p in pools if p not in clmm_pools]
total_clmm = sum(p.get("liquidity", {}).get("usd", 0) for p in clmm_pools)
total_cpmm = sum(p.get("liquidity", {}).get("usd", 0) for p in cpmm_pools)
total = total_clmm + total_cpmm
return {
"clmm_ratio": total_clmm / total if total > 0 else 0,
"cpmm_liquidity": total_cpmm,
"clmm_liquidity": total_clmm,
"concentration_risk": "high" if total_clmm / total > 0.8 and total > 0 else "low",
}
### Step 5: Compute Liquidity Score
Composite score from 0 (dangerous) to 100 (deep, safe liquidity):
def compute_liquidity_score(
total_liquidity_usd: float,
pool_count: int,
largest_pool_pct: float,
oldest_pool_hours: float,
max_slippage_bps_at_1sol: int,
) -> int:
"""Compute composite liquidity score (0-100).
Components:
Depth (40%): log-scaled TVL from $1K (0) to $1M+ (40)
Diversity (15%): more pools = more resilient
Concentration (15%): penalty if one pool dominates
Age (15%): older pools are more reliable
Slippage (15%): lower slippage = better
"""
import math
# Depth: 0-40 points
depth = min(40, int(40 * math.log10(max(total_liquidity_usd, 1)) / 6))
# Diversity: 0-15 points
diversity = min(15, pool_count * 3)
# Concentration: 0-15 points (penalty for single-pool dominance)
concentration = int(15 * (1 - largest_pool_pct))
# Age: 0-15 points (7+ days = full marks)
age = min(15, int(15 * oldest_pool_hours / 168))
# Slippage: 0-15 points
slippage = max(0, 15 - max_slippage_bps_at_1sol // 10)
return max(0, min(100, depth + diversity + concentration + age + slippage))
