What Makes V3 Different

Unlike V2’s full-range liquidity, V3 lets you concentrate liquidity within specific price ranges:

  • Higher capital efficiency: Up to 4000x more efficient than V2
  • Custom ranges: Choose where your liquidity is active
  • NFT representation: Each position is a unique, tradeable token
  • Active management required: Positions need monitoring and adjustment

Range Selection Strategies

Strategy Range Width Best For Management
Tight Range ±2-5% Stablecoin pairs, high conviction Active (daily)
Medium Range ±10-25% Correlated assets Regular (weekly)
Wide Range ±50%+ Volatile pairs, passive approach Minimal

Key Takeaways

  • V3 positions are NFTs with concentrated liquidity in custom ranges
  • Tighter ranges = higher fees but more IL risk and management
  • Use position managers for automated rebalancing
  • Monitor positions regularly—out-of-range positions earn nothing
  • Consider multiple positions at different ranges for diversification
