Pool Liquidity Map

Overview

Retrieves the distribution of net liquidity across price ticks for a specific Orca Whirlpool. Returns liquidity values at representative tick intervals based on the specified resolution, so you can see how liquidity is concentrated across the price curve. Note: the pool must have been created after 2025-02-27.

Business Value

• Liquidity Analysis: Understand where liquidity is concentrated in Orca pools to identify optimal trading ranges
• Price Impact Assessment: Evaluate potential price impact of trades by analyzing liquidity depth at different price levels
• Pool Health Monitoring: Monitor the distribution and concentration of liquidity to assess pool efficiency
• Trading Strategy Optimization: Identify price ranges with high liquidity for reduced slippage trading
• Market Making Insights: Determine optimal price ranges for providing liquidity based on current distribution patterns

Result collections are limited to 10 items. The rows field reports the total number of tick intervals available (201 in this case), even though the data array shown here is capped at 10 entries. Each entry pairs a mapTick with its corresponding liquidity value; in this range of deeply out-of-the-money ticks, liquidity stays constant at 1388308015.

x402 Payment Option

This endpoint supports pay-per-use access via the x402 payment protocol (v2): pay $0.05 USDC per request using blockchain micropayments. No API key required.

Quick Start (TypeScript)

npm install @x402/fetch @x402/evm viem

import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const signer = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY as `0x${string}`);
const client = new x402Client();
client.register("eip155:*", new ExactEvmScheme(signer));

const fetchWithPayment = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);
const response = await fetchWithPayment(
  "https://x402.cambrian.org/solana/orca/pools/liquidity-map"
);
const data = await response.json();

Quick Start (Python)

pip install "x402[httpx]"

import asyncio, os
from eth_account import Account
from x402 import x402Client
from x402.http.clients import x402HttpxClient
from x402.mechanisms.evm import EthAccountSigner
from x402.mechanisms.evm.exact.register import register_exact_evm_client

async def main():
    client = x402Client()
    account = Account.from_key(os.getenv("EVM_PRIVATE_KEY"))
    register_exact_evm_client(client, EthAccountSigner(account))

    async with x402HttpxClient(client) as http:
        response = await http.get("https://x402.cambrian.org/solana/orca/pools/liquidity-map")
        print(response.json())

asyncio.run(main())

Payment Flow

1. Send a normal request to the endpoint (no API key needed)
2. Server returns 402 Payment Required with payment details
3. The x402 SDK automatically signs a payment authorization with your wallet
4. The SDK resubmits the request with the signed payment
5. Server verifies payment and returns the API response

The x402 SDK handles steps 2 through 5 automatically.
