Poolshark

Start by putting your capital to work where you think price is headed. Connect your wallet, choose a market, and set a price band that reflects your bias—above the current price if you expect an upswing, below if you anticipate a dip. Decide whether to deposit a single asset or both sides, preview projected fee capture and execution depth, then confirm. As trades pass through your band, you collect fees while your inventory shifts in the direction you planned. Use the dashboard to watch PnL, uncollected fees, and band utilization. When price leaves your band, move it with one click or define a new range with tighter width to act more like a limit order and a wider width to behave like a passive market maker.

Scale up with automation when you want hands-off management. Configure triggers to roll your band when price crosses a threshold, when utilization drops, or when realized fees hit a target. Build ladders: multiple narrow bands at staggered levels to express a staircase of buys or sells. Set safety rules—minimum fee APR, max slippage, gas budget per roll—and define what to do when volatility spikes (pause, widen, or exit). If you need to reduce risk quickly, use the emergency stop to close and settle fees in one transaction. Export position history for analysis, schedule periodic rebalances, and receive alerts when conditions hit your playbook.

Trade directly against these bands for sharper quotes in the direction with more depth. For a limit-like buy, place a narrow band below the current price with a single stablecoin deposit; it will convert to the target asset as price trades into your range, then you can remove the position. For a limit-like sell, do the opposite above the current level. You can set timeouts by pairing narrow bands with auto-cancel triggers. When swapping immediately, route through pools with favorable directional depth to reduce price impact; the interface highlights paths where your order benefits from concentrated interest. After execution, review fills, realized fees paid, and any residual inventory so you can decide whether to compound, rebalance, or exit.

If you build on-chain tools, integrate via the SDK and contracts. Query pools, read ticks and band states, and submit mint/burn/roll calls from a bot or backend. Subscribe to events to track position health, or connect a keeper to enforce your rules on-chain. Compose with vaults to package automated strategies for others, or plug Poolshark routing into your aggregator to access depth that aligns with market momentum. Treasuries can schedule buybacks by placing bands below market and distribute emissions by seeding bands where growth needs liquidity. Test changes on supported testnets, simulate capital allocation across bands, and ship with guarded roles so multisigs can manage policies while automation handles day-to-day ops.
