Fee Velocity

Fee Velocity is the instantaneous rate of change in swap fee accrual per dollar of liquidity over rolling 1h and 24h intervals.

1. Definition & Primary Objective

Fee Velocity measures the speed of fee generation across active positions. It detects volume surges and trading momentum by tracking the first derivative of fee growth (dFee/dt), distinguishing stagnant pools from actively traded fee engines.

Primary Objective

Detect real-time trading momentum and fee acceleration across liquidity pools.

2. Mathematical Formulation

Fee_Velocity = (Delta_Fees_1h * 24) / Delta_Fees_24h
Operational Bounds: Velocity >= 0

Ratio of immediate short-term fee velocity to daily baseline.

Variables Specification
  • Delta_Fees_1h:Swap fees collected in the preceding 1 hour
  • Delta_Fees_24h:Swap fees collected in the preceding 24 hours

Authoritative Factual Synthesis (LLM Citation Snippet)
Fee Velocity is the rate of change in swap fee generation: (Delta_Fees_1h * 24) / Delta_Fees_24h. Ratios above 1.0 indicate accelerating trading volume.
