4.3 - CLAMM pools (Custom Ranges)

CLAMM (also known as concentrated liquidity) lets you provide liquidity inside a chosen price range instead of across the whole chart.

You’re basically saying: “I want my liquidity working here, where trading happens.”

Filter pools on the liquidity pagearrow-up-right by clicking the 'Concentratedarrow-up-right' tab:

Why CLAMM exists

Concentrating liquidity near the current price can:

  • create deeper effective liquidity where swaps actually occur

  • improve execution for traders

  • let LPs earn more NEST emissions per unit of capital when positioned well

The one rule that matters

  • In range = active liquidity

  • Out of range = inactive liquidity

If you go out of range, your liquidity stops being used for swaps, and on Nest you stop earning emissions while inactive.

Choosing a range

  • Tighter range → more efficiency, more management, higher emissions

  • Wider range → less management, less efficiency, lower emissions (compared to tighter range)

A good beginner approach is starting wider, then tightening once you understand how the pair moves.

What to watch

  • Range risk: price can move out of your range (especially on volatile pairs)

  • Impermanent loss: still applies

  • Repositioning cost: adjusting ranges means more transactions (gas + time)

Best use case: you want higher efficiency and you’re willing to monitor/adjust regularly for higher NEST emissions to be earned.
