Active vs inactive

In v3, your liquidity earns fees only when the current price is inside your range.

What happens to your assets

As price moves, your position becomes more of one token above/below your range.

What to do

  • Widen the range.
  • Re-mint closer to price.
  • Decide if active management fits you.

Reading the “out of range” state

When the price moves outside your chosen band, your position becomes mostly one token. That’s not a bug — it’s how the range design works. Whether this is acceptable depends on your strategy: some LPs intentionally choose ranges to end up holding one side after a move.

Maintenance costs matter

Repositioning a v3 position costs gas. If you adjust frequently, maintenance can eat into fees. Wider ranges reduce adjustment frequency but also reduce fee concentration.

Range selection in plain terms

Wide ranges behave more like “set and forget.” Narrow ranges behave more like an actively managed strategy that can stop working if price drifts. If you don’t want to monitor positions, bias toward wider ranges and treat gas costs as part of the strategy.
