Concentrating on Concentrated Liquidity.
🌊 Whirlpools Rotation #21 🌀
- Duration: Thursday January 26, 2023 — Thursday February 9, 2023
- Total Rewards: Total rewards of ~6K ORCA for this rotation across all pools, plus additional project rewards on select pools. All Whirlpools are now open and rewards will begin on February 9th at ~24:00 UTC.
- As Solana’s resurgence continued over the last couple of weeks, network demand remained high, especially for trading popular pairs like SOL-USDC. To help users ensure their trades are going through, Orca has added priority fees to all trades and LP transactions on Orca’s UI.
- Keep an eye out for new ORCA rewards on Whirlpools that are taking over for their standard pool counterparts. Still an LP in standard pools? Check out this migration guide to move over!

🌊 Deepsea Insights 🌏
Community Listings continue to grow, and some pools are finding great success! One protocol that has taken advantage of this feature is BlazeStake and their bSOL liquid staking token. Both their bSOL/SOL and bSOL/BONK pairs have seen tremendous growth over the past few weeks and have grown to a total of nearly $500k in liquidity. This is a great example of a project that is active in the Solana community taking advantage of Orca’s community listings to help push their protocol forward! 🐋
