Lamppoli calculator

Holding vs LP Calculator

Holding-vs-LP pages should link directly to IL and Real DeFi Return calculators.

How it works

What this page calculates

Compare holding tokens versus providing liquidity, including LP value, HODL value, fees and impermanent loss.

The page is built around a preset scenario so users can understand the output immediately, then move into a full calculator with their own numbers.

Formula

Formula used

Comparison result = strategy A net value - strategy B net value

Fees, prices, APY and historical values should be reviewed as assumptions. The exact calculation depends on the connected tool and user inputs.

Example

Example calculation

For a simple preset, Lamppoli starts with a clear input set, calculates the main result first, then shows related metrics such as fees, ROI, drawdown, APY or LP vs HODL value depending on the page type.

Use case

How to read this comparison

Use this page when two strategies, assets or exchanges need to be compared with the same assumptions. A clear comparison is useful only when both sides use the same time period, investment amount and cost assumptions.

The winner in a preset example may change when dates, fees, contribution size or token price assumptions change.

Quality note

Assumptions and limitations

Calculations are estimates based on user inputs and do not constitute financial advice.

Lamppoli keeps formulas and assumptions visible so users can understand how the output was produced instead of treating the result as a black box.
