QuantumPoolsGetting Started
What QuantumPools does, the one moment it acts differently, and how opening a position works.
In short
- You deposit. The vault holds your position, records you as the owner, and only your wallet can take it out.
- When price leaves your range and Auto Snuggle is on, the range moves next to the price using the token you already hold. Nothing is sold. We call this a snuggle.
- The only charge is a performance fee on the trading fees you earn: at most 15% on your liquidity pools, or 25% only when you copy another member's LP position. It is never taken from your deposit or from price gains, and there is no deposit or withdrawal fee. Fees.

QuantumPools in two sentences
QuantumPools puts your tokens to work as a liquidity position on a decentralized exchange, where they earn a cut of every trade that passes through your price range.
- Deposit
- Earn fees in range
- Price walks out
- Snuggle: range moves, no swap
- Earns again on the way back
What usually happens when price leaves your range
A range position only earns while the price sits inside its range. Step outside and it stops earning. By then it has also turned into just one of the two tokens: the pool sold the other one to traders on the way out.
Many range managers fix this by swapping back toward a 50/50 mix, which means selling roughly half of that token, then opening a fresh range centred on the new price. That single trade has four costs:
- Pool fee
- The swap pays the pool's fee tier, for example 0.30% of the amount sold.
- Slippage
- A bigger trade moves the price against you while it fills.
- Bot front-running
- A public swap is a target. Bots can trade just before and after it and take a slice (called MEV).
- A loss made permanent
- Price just ran. Selling now turns a paper loss into a real one, even if price turns around tomorrow. Impermanent loss, explained.
Price one re-centre yourself
Change the numbers. This models a typical manager that swaps back to 50/50. It is not a QuantumPools fee.
Cost of one conventional re-centre
- Pool fee
- Slippage
- Bots (MEV)
Illustration only. It leaves out gas and the loss locked in by selling, which depends on where price goes next. Real slippage and bot losses change with pool depth and timing.
Same moment, two ways to handle it
Below, one price path. It starts inside a 90–110 range, climbs out, peaks at 120 and drifts back to about 114. Flip between the tabs to see what each approach does once price is out of range.
The new side is never a guess. Price went up, so you hold Token B, so the range opens below. Price went down, so you hold Token A, so it opens above. Each snuggle reopens a range of the same width, measured as a percentage of price.
| Typical re-centring manager | QuantumPools snuggle | |
|---|---|---|
| Sells tokens to rebalance | About half the position | Never. The vault has no swap code |
| Pool fee and slippage on the move | Paid every time | None |
| A trade for bots to squeeze | Yes, the swap | No swap to squeeze. The move is still a public transaction, so price moves around it can affect you |
| Gas for the move | Depends on the manager | Keeper pays the gas for automatic snuggles |
| Loses if price keeps running one way | Yes | Yes, still |
What you will see on a position card
Each position gets a card on the home page of the app (Scout). Sample numbers. Focus on where each thing sits.
- 1 · Status and badge
- "In range" or "Out of range". A QuantumPools badge means the vault manages it. Any other badge means the app only tracks it.
- 2 · Range
- How wide your band is, and its low and high price. You choose the width when you open the position, and each snuggle reopens a range of that same width.
- 3 · Delay and Auto Snuggle
- How long to wait after the position goes out of range (0 to 7 days), and whether Auto Snuggle is on. You set both on the position.
- 4 · Earnings Rate
- Average fees per day, times 365, divided by today's value. It looks back, not forward.
- 5 · Impermanent Loss
- Your position now versus just holding the two tokens. Fees are left out so they cannot hide the gap.
- 6 · Cover Value
- Fees earned divided by impermanent loss. Above 1x, fees are winning. How to read it.
- 7 · Unharvested Fees
- Fees earned that are still sitting in the pool. The 15% performance fee is taken from them when they are collected.
- 8 · Buttons
- Collect Fees pays them out. Rebalance moves an out-of-range position now (you pay the gas). Add Funds queues a top-up that joins this position at its next snuggle. Withdraw works any time.
How opening a position works
Connect with Quantum Connect
Use the wallet button on any page.
Find a pool
Browse the Pool Scanner for liquidity, volume, fees and risk. Only registered pools are eligible; the Add page lists them.
Pick a width and a delay
Start from a preset (Mad Max is the tightest band, Best Fit is balanced, and Easygoing, when shown, stays in range most of the time) or set your own. Each preset suggests a width and a delay for the pool, and any delay from 0 to 7 days is allowed. By default, at each snuggle half of the fees in the token the new range can use are reinvested, and everything else goes to your wallet (other fee modes).
Approve, then deposit
Before you sign, check the network, the pool and the vault address yourself:
0x5433f385F538Fa11b8A25B82230a306d25dF8EB3on Robinhood Chain. There is no deposit fee. If you deposit just one token, nothing is swapped: the app opens a one-sided range just past the current price, and it starts earning once price moves into it.Turn on Auto Snuggle
Once the deposit confirms, save your delay and switch Auto Snuggle on for the position. That is a separate transaction you sign. Until you do, nothing moves automatically.
Watch it work
Your card appears on the home page of the app (Scout). Metrics adds the bookkeeping: impermanent loss, Cover Value and fees across all your positions.
Quick answers
Can I take my money out whenever I want?
Yes. There is no lock-up or waiting period, and withdrawing still works when the vault is paused. You get both tokens back at the current mix, with no swap. Any fees not yet collected are charged the 15% performance fee at that point. Only the wallet that owns the position can withdraw, so a lost wallet cannot be recovered.
Can the keeper touch my funds?
No. The keeper is a bot that watches prices and triggers snuggles when your settings allow it. It cannot withdraw, cannot call Collect Fees or compound on its own, cannot receive funds, and cannot choose where your range goes. When it triggers a snuggle, the vault collects your fees and handles them according to your fee setting, the same as if you had moved the range yourself, including the 15% performance fee on those fees. The vault reopens a range of the same width as before.
What do I pay gas for?
Automatic snuggles cost you no gas, because the keeper sends and pays for them. Each snuggle still collects your earned trading fees, and the 15% performance fee is taken from those fees at that moment. You pay normal network gas for your own actions, such as approve, deposit, withdraw, collect fees, and pressing Rebalance yourself.
Does a snuggle happen the second price leaves?
No. The 30-minute average price has to leave the range, the live price must agree, and then your own delay must pass after a keeper starts the out-of-range timer. If price moves back inside, the timer resets once it has been tracking for at least 5 minutes. Keepers check on a best-effort basis, roughly every 1 to 3 minutes, so a snuggle can land somewhat after the delay ends. Auto Snuggle is also something you switch on; with it off, only you can move the range.
