Frequently asked questions

RangeOwl is non-custodial — we never hold your funds or your keys, and there's no RangeOwl contract your money can sit in. The analytics are pure reads of public on-chain data, and you can use all of it without connecting anything: paste any public address and see its number. The optional actions (collect, deposit, withdraw, stake, create, compound) build a transaction that yousign in your own wallet, sent to Uniswap's or Aerodrome's own contracts — we can't sign for you or move anything ourselves. Any token approval we ask for is for an exact amount, never unlimited. More detail on our trust page.

A message that proves the wallet is yours — that's all. It's not a transaction, it costs nothing, and it can't move funds or grant any access to them.

Because you're adding tokens to a position, and the DEX's position manager has to be allowed to move them out of your wallet to do that. An approval is permission for one specific contract to spend one specific token — it isn't a payment and it doesn't move anything by itself.

Two things worth knowing. The approval goes to Uniswap's or Aerodrome's contract, not to RangeOwl — we're never the spender. And it's for the exact amount of that one deposit, never unlimited, so it's used up when the deposit goes through instead of sitting on your wallet forever. That's why you may see two approvals before a two-token deposit rather than approving once and never again.

We record the exact token amounts you deposited, then compare your position's current value (plus all fees earned) against what those same tokens would be worth if you'd simply held them. Fees are counted net of Uniswap's protocol fee switch — most dashboards still quote gross. Full methodology: here.

Two reasons, usually. Most dashboards quote gross fees; we deduct the Uniswap fee switch (live since Dec 2025, it takes 16.7–25% of LP fees depending on tier). And most don't subtract impermanent loss at all — we lead with it. Our number is smaller because it's the honest one.

It answers one question: is right now a good time to put money into an LP position — or not?

How it works →

It's a time machine for LP strategies. Before you risk real money on a range, you can ask: "If I had done this in the past, what would have actually happened?"

How it works →

In plain language: if the price keeps bouncing the way it has been lately, how much will this position lose compared to just holding the tokens — per month?

An LP position automatically sells whichever token is going up and buys whichever is going down — that's what providing liquidity is. So whenever price moves meaningfully in either direction, your position ends up holding more of the loser and less of the winner than if you'd left the tokens in your wallet. The gap between "what my LP is worth" and "what holding would've been worth" is impermanent loss. The table forecasts that gap using recent volatility: the more price bounces, the more of that sell-the-winner/buy-the-loser churn happens, and the bigger the gap.

The rest of the table: Range is how wide you set the position (±5% is a tight bet price stays close; ±50% is a wide net). Concentration is your fee multiplier — a tight range packs your money into a narrow zone and earns many times more per dollar while price stays inside. In-range est.is the catch: how much of the time price is expected to stay inside your zone; you earn nothing while it's outside. Fees/mo vs IL/mo are the two forces as a monthly % of your capital — what the position earns vs what the churn costs. Concentration magnifies both; it doesn't create profit on its own. Ratiois fees ÷ IL: above 1.0, LPing is expected to beat holding; below 1.0, you'd earn fees and still come out behind someone who did nothing.

Sort of — but it forecasts how much prices wiggle, not where they go. The table assumes the next 30 days look statistically like the last 30: same volatility, centered on today's price, no assumed direction up or down.

Three assumptions are baked in, and you should know them: (1) recent volatility persists — if the market gets wilder, real IL runs hotter than shown; calmer, cooler. (2) No direction — if price trends hard one way instead of bouncing, actual IL is worse than the table shows, because a sustained trend is the most expensive path for an LP. (3) Recent fees persist — the fee column projects the last 7 days of pool activity forward.

Assumption (2) is exactly why the deploy signal has a separate timing verdict on top of the table: the table prices the cost of chop, and the timing layer asks whether we're actually in a trend instead. The two together are the forecast — the table alone is only half of it.

No. It's a historical simulation — calibrated on 402 backtested 30-day windows across five years of mainnet and Base history — with its hit-rate shown next to every verdict. Past performance doesn't predict future results. It's information; the decision is yours.

On-chain payments are irreversible by nature, so all sales are final. Everything paid is visible before you buy — the free tier shows you exactly what the tool is.

Uniswap v3 and Aerodrome Slipstream positions on Base — tracking, history and tax export for both, plus collecting, staking, depositing, withdrawing, creating and compounding. More chains and Uniswap v4 after.

We cache public chain data (that's how pages load fast) and your email if you opt into alerts. We never hold keys or funds — non-custodial means we can't. Details in the privacy policy.
