search_liquidity_pools
Maps to GET /pools. Discovers liquidity pools across supported AMMs and chains, returning id, poolId, symbol, underlyingTokens (token addresses), fee tier, protocol, dexKind, APY, apyBase (fee-only APY excluding reward emissions), TVL (USD), 24h/7d volume (USD), stablecoin flags, and hooksAddress (custom hook contract for Uniswap V4 / PancakeSwap Infinity pools; null when the pool has no hook — hooks can add custom fees or transfer restrictions). KEY PARAMETERS: Use trending: true to get only pools currently trending, optionally with timeframe ("5m", "1h", "6h", "24h") to select the ranking window — default is 5m. Trending results include feeAprEstimate: fee APR (%) annualized from the selected timeframe's volume window over the pool reserve (null outside trending mode or when the fee tier is unknown). NOTE: feeAprEstimate extrapolates a short window to a year — for short timeframes on hot pools it can be extreme and short-lived; the apy field is the stable 24h-based metric.
MOMENTUM SIGNAL (1h/6h/24h windows, powered by on-chain DEX trade data): each trending pool carries momentumSignal — "entry" (volume accelerating with healthy LP flow — a pool worth entering), "watch" (in the ranking but not yet actionable), or "exit" (dying volume or LPs leaving). Supporting fields: momentumScore (composite acceleration x size x flow quality), momentumRatioH1/H6/H24 (volume vs the previous equal window), momentumTakersH6 (unique traders 6h), lpMintsH6/lpBurnsH6 and lpNetFlowH6 (inflow/outflow/flat — are LPs adding or pulling liquidity). The 5m window carries the signal as HOURLY CONTEXT (last hourly cycle, not the last 5 minutes), since 5m is real-time GeckoTerminal data. Each pool also carries suggestedRangePct: a suggested concentrated-liquidity range (± percent) balancing fee density against time-in-range — ~0.5% for stable pairs, tens of percent for volatile/memecoin pairs — pass it to zap_into_lp_position. To ENTER the hottest profitable pool: trending: true, timeframe: "6h", signal: "entry", sortBy: "signal", sortOrder: "desc" returns entry-signal pools ranked by APR. (Use timeframe "6h" for sustained traction / LP-yield strategies, "1h" for faster reaction.) To check whether to EXIT, read momentumSignal on list_user_lp_positions instead.
Use hookless: true to exclude pools with a custom hook contract. Use sortBy ("apy", "tvl", "volume1d", "volume7d", "signal") with sortOrder to control ranking — default is tvl desc. Use topPerVenue to limit to top N pools per DEX by APY. Supports filtering by protocol/DEX, tokens, pool type, stablecoin status, and free-text search, with pagination. Required upstream step before zap_into_lp_position. IMPORTANT: The response contains two ID fields — poolId (string) must be passed AS-IS to zap_into_lp_position and zap_out_of_lp_position (do NOT construct or modify it), and id (number) is used only for analyze_pool.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| page | No | Page number, 0-based (default: 0) | |
| search | No | Search by symbol or project name | |
| signal | No | Filter by momentum signal. Comma-separated list allowed (e.g. 'entry' or 'entry,watch'). Only effective with trending=true. Combine with sortBy=signal&sortOrder=desc to get entry pools ranked by APR. | |
| sortBy | No | Sort field (default: tvl). 'signal' (trending only) groups pools by momentum signal entry→watch→exit (sortOrder=asc reverses) and within each group by APR descending — i.e. the entry pools with the highest APR first. | |
| tokens | No | Comma-separated token addresses to filter pools by | |
| chainId | Yes | EVM chain ID (e.g. 56 for BSC, 1 for Ethereum) | |
| dexKind | No | Filter by DEX kind (e.g. UNIV3_SR02) | |
| project | No | Filter by protocol/DEX name (e.g. uniswap-v3, pancakeswap-v3, aerodrome-v2) | |
| hookless | No | If true, exclude pools with a custom hook contract (Uniswap V4 / PancakeSwap Infinity). Hooks can add custom fees or transfer restrictions. | |
| pageSize | No | Results per page, max 200 (default: 50) | |
| poolType | No | Filter by pool type | |
| trending | No | If true, return only currently trending pools (with momentumSignal and suggestedRangePct on each result) | |
| sortOrder | No | Sort direction (default: desc) | |
| timeframe | No | Trending ranking window (default: 5m). Only applies with trending=true. Sent to the API as trendingDuration; also selects the volume window for feeAprEstimate. Use 6h for sustained LP-yield traction, 1h for faster reaction; 5m is real-time GeckoTerminal with the signal as hourly context. | |
| stableOnly | No | Show only stablecoin pairs | |
| topPerVenue | No | Limit to top N pools per venue by APY | |
| semiStableOnly | No | Show only pools with exactly one stablecoin |
