Balanced — The Default LP Strategy for Uniswap V3
Last updated
Balanced is the default Super9MM preset and the sensible starting point for most pairs. It sets a middle-width price range around the current price, rebalances in both directions, and auto-compounds — splitting the difference between fee yield, rebalance frequency, and impermanent loss on Uniswap V3 on Robinhood Chain.
When to use it
Use Balanced when you are not sure which extreme fits, or when a pair has ordinary volatility — not a tight stable peg, not a wildly swinging long-tail token. It is the recommended first choice: run it, watch how often the position rebalances and how it tracks the market, and only then move toward Tight Scalper for more fees or Wide Earner for more calm. For most people on most pools, Balanced is where to begin.
What it optimizes for
It optimizes for a reasonable middle ground rather than any single metric. A middle-width price range collects a healthy share of swap fees while staying in range long enough that rebalancing is not constant. Both-direction rebalancing means it re-centers whether price rises or falls, keeping your liquidity working across ordinary two-sided markets. Auto-compounding folds earned fees back into the position so growth builds on itself without you touching it.
Tradeoffs
By design it is a compromise. You capture fewer fees per dollar than a narrow range would, and you take on more impermanent loss and more rebalances than a wide range would. It will not be the top performer in a market that stays perfectly stable (Tight Scalper wins there) or one that trends hard (Wide Earner rides that more calmly). IL is still real — see whether providing liquidity is profitable for your situation. Balanced is a customizable preset, not a locked product, and it is fully non-custodial: only you can withdraw.
Which Uniswap V3 pools fit
Best on medium-volatility pairs — established tokens against a major asset, where price moves but not violently. If the pair is a stable peg, lean tighter; if it is a volatile long-tail token, lean wider. Pick a suitable fee tier and browse candidates on the pools page. Not sure how wide “middle” should be for your pool? How to set a price range for concentrated liquidity explains it. When you are ready, open Super9MM.
Frequently asked questions
- Why is Balanced the recommended default?
- Because it does not require you to correctly predict a pair’s behavior in advance. A middle-width range earns solid fees while limiting how often it rebalances and how much impermanent loss it realizes, so it performs acceptably across a wide variety of pools.
- How is Balanced different from Tight Scalper and Wide Earner?
- They differ mainly in range width. Tight Scalper uses a narrow range for maximum fees but exits range fast; Wide Earner uses a wide range for calm and less IL but lower fees per dollar. Balanced sits between them.
- Can I switch to another preset later?
- Yes. Presets are customizable starting points, so you can change range width, rebalance direction, and auto-compound at any time. Your position stays non-custodial — only you can withdraw.
