Overview

The Solscan Liquidity Enricher enhances the quote service’s liquidity filtering by fetching real-time pool metrics from the Solscan API. This provides more accurate and responsive liquidity data compared to on-chain calculations alone.

Key Features

1. Real-time Pool Metrics
   • Total Value Locked (TVL)
   • 24-hour trading volume
   • 24-hour trade count
   • Volume and trade change percentages
   • Pool age and creation time
   • Token information with current prices
2. Background Enrichment
   • Automatic enrichment of tracked pools every 5 minutes
   • Non-blocking operation - doesn’t affect quote latency
   • Graceful error handling with fallback to on-chain data
3. Smart Caching
   • 10-minute cache TTL (configurable)
   • Reduces API calls and improves response time
   • Automatic cache invalidation
4. Rate Limiting
   • Configurable requests per second (default: 2/s)
   • Prevents API throttling
   • Queue-based request management

Benefits Over On-Chain Only

  | jq '.pools[] | {poolName, tvl, pair: (.tokens | map(.tokenSymbol) | join("/"))}'

JavaScript

// Fetch and display pool info
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools');
const data = await response.json();

data.pools.forEach(pool => {
    const pair = pool.tokens.map(t => t.tokenSymbol).join('/');
    console.log(`${pool.poolName}: ${pair} - TVL: $${pool.tvl.toFixed(2)}`);
});

Python

import requests

# Get pool data
response = requests.get('http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools')
pools = response.json()['pools']

for pool in pools:
    pair = '/'.join(t['tokenSymbol'] for t in pool['tokens'])
    print(f"{pool['poolName']}: {pair} - TVL: ${pool['tvl']:.2f}")

Common Queries

Find pools by token

curl "http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools" | \
  jq '.pools[] | select(.tokens[].tokenSymbol == "WSOL") | {poolName, tvl}'

Filter by TVL threshold

curl "http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools" | \
  jq '.pools[] | select(.tvl > 10000) | {poolName, tvl}'

Calculate token composition

curl "http://localhost:8080/solscan/pool?address=HhRA2S8L..." | \
  jq '.tokens | map({
    symbol: .tokenSymbol, 
    value: ((.amount | tonumber) * .priceUsd)
  })'

Response Status Codes

Rate Limits

• Solscan API: 2 requests/second (configurable)
• Internal cache: 5 minute TTL
• Tip: Use /solscan/pools for bulk queries instead of multiple single pool requests

Implementation Details

1. Router Enhancement (simple_router.go)

Added:

• ExternalLiquidityProvider callback type
• externalLiquidityProvider field to SimpleRouter
• SetExternalLiquidityProvider() method

Liquidity Filtering Logic:

if minLiquidityUSD > 0 {
    // FIRST: Try Solscan TVL (external provider)
    if r.externalLiquidityProvider != nil {
        solscanTVL := r.externalLiquidityProvider(poolID)
        if solscanTVL > 0 {
            if solscanTVL < minLiquidityUSD {
                // Filter out: Solscan says low liquidity
                log.Printf("🚫 Filtered pool %s: Solscan TVL $%.2f < min $%.0f")
                continue
            }
            // Solscan says high liquidity - allow through
        }
    }

    // SECOND: Fall back to on-chain cache
    if liquiditySource == "none" {
        if isLow, _ := r.isPoolLowLiquidity(poolID, minLiquidityUSD); isLow {
            // Filter out: on-chain cache says low liquidity
            log.Printf("🚫 Filtered pool %s: On-chain liquidity $%.2f < min $%.0f")
            continue
        }
    }
}

2. Cache Integration (cache.go)

Added:

• poolLiquidity map[string]float64 field to QuoteCache
• UpdatePoolLiquidity() method - Stores Solscan TVL data
• EnableSolscanLiquidityFiltering() method - Wires up the callback
• InvalidateQuotesByPoolLiquidity() method - Removes cached quotes for low-liquidity pools

GetPoolLiquidity() Flow:

func (qc *QuoteCache) GetPoolLiquidity(poolID string) float64 {
    // FIRST: Check Solscan enriched TVL data (most accurate)
    qc.mu.RLock()
    solscanTVL, hasSolscanData := qc.poolLiquidity[poolID]
    qc.mu.RUnlock()

    if hasSolscanData && solscanTVL > 0 {
        return solscanTVL  // Use Solscan data
    }

    // SECOND: Fall back to on-chain estimation
    // ... existing on-chain calculation logic ...
}

3. Background Enrichment (solscan_enricher.go)

Process:

// Every 5 minutes:
func (e *SolscanLiquidityEnricher) enrichTrackedPools() {
    poolAddresses := cache.GetTrackedPools()  // Get all pools from cache

    for _, poolAddr := range poolAddresses {
        metrics := e.GetPoolMetrics(ctx, poolAddr)  // Fetch from Solscan API
        if metrics.TVL > 0 {
            cache.UpdatePoolLiquidity(poolAddr, metrics.TVL)  // Store TVL
        }
    }
}

4. Service Initialization (main.go)

Setup:

// Line 247-256 in main.go
solscanEnricher = NewSolscanLiquidityEnricher(10*time.Minute, 2)

// Enable Solscan as additional liquidity filter
quoteCache.EnableSolscanLiquidityFiltering()

// Start background enrichment (every 5 minutes)
go solscanEnricher.EnrichPoolsInBackground(ctx, quoteCache, 5*time.Minute)

               ✅ Only high-liquidity pools

Liquidity Data Priority

When GetPoolLiquidity(poolID) is called:

Priority 1: Solscan TVL (Most Accurate) ⭐

qc.mu.RLock()
solscanTVL, hasSolscanData := qc.poolLiquidity[poolID]
qc.mu.RUnlock()

if hasSolscanData && solscanTVL > 0 {
    return solscanTVL  // Use real Solscan data
}

Advantages:

• Real-time data from Solscan indexer
• Includes all token valuations
• Updated every 5 minutes via background enrichment
• Most accurate for all pool types

Priority 2: On-Chain Cache (Fallback)

Limitations:

• Not available for CLMM/DLMM pools (requires vault balances)
• May be stale if pool cache is old
• Approximate for non-USDC pairs

Priority 3: Hardcoded Defaults (Last Resort)

When Used:

• No Solscan data available
• Pool not in router’s cache
• Very conservative (overestimates liquidity)

        // ... more pools
    ]
}

Use Cases

1. Display Pool Information in UI

// Fetch pools and display with full details
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools');
const data = await response.json();

data.pools.forEach(pool => {
    console.log(`Pool: ${pool.poolName}`);
    console.log(`TVL: $${pool.tvl.toFixed(2)}`);
    console.log(`Tokens: ${pool.tokens[0].tokenSymbol}/${pool.tokens[1].tokenSymbol}`);
});

2. Calculate Pool Composition

// Calculate what percentage of TVL each token represents
pool.tokens.forEach(token => {
    const tokenValue = parseFloat(token.amount) * token.priceUsd;
    const percentage = (tokenValue / pool.tvl) * 100;
    console.log(`${token.tokenSymbol}: ${percentage.toFixed(2)}% ($${tokenValue.toFixed(2)})`);
});

3. Filter Pools by Token

// Find all pools containing WSOL
const wsolPools = data.pools.filter(pool => 
    pool.tokens.some(token => 
        token.tokenAddress === "So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"
    )
);

Testing & Verification

Test Scenario: Low-Liquidity Pool Filtering

Test Pool:

• Address: HhRA2S8LrDFi8cWNXhCSXre31RgLkTFMj7bM1FK99CaZ
• TVL: ~$9.24 USD (very low liquidity)
• Token Pair: WSOL/USDC (Raydium CLMM)

Step 1: Fetch Solscan Data

curl "http://localhost:8080/solscan/pool?address=HhRA2S8LrDFi8cWNXhCSXre31RgLkTFMj7bM1FK99CaZ"

Expected Response:

• ✅ tvl should be around $9.22
• ✅ filtered: true indicates the pool is below minimum liquidity threshold
• ✅ quotesInvalidated shows how many cached quotes were removed

Step 2: Verify Cache State

curl "http://localhost:8080/cache"

Look for:

{
    "solscan": {
        "enriched_pools": 1,
        "total_tvl_usd": 9.22,
        "avg_tvl_usd": 9.22
    }
}

Step 3: Test Quote Without Filter

curl "http://localhost:8080/quote?inputMint=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112&outputMint=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&amount=1000000000"

Step 4: Test Quote With Filter

curl "http://localhost:8080/quote?inputMint=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112&outputMint=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&amount=1000000000&minLiquidity=5000"

Expected Behavior:

• ✅ The pool HhRA2S8L... should NOT be in the route
• ✅ System should select a different pool with TVL >= $5,000
• ✅ Or return error “no pools found after filtering”

Step 5: Check Server Logs

When fetching Solscan data:

✅ Fetched Solscan pool metrics: poolAddress=HhRA2S8L, tvl=9.22
✅ Updated pool liquidity from Solscan: pool_id=HhRA2S8L, tvl_usd=9.22

When filtering pools:

🔍 Pool HhRA2S8L: Solscan provider returned TVL=$9.22 (minRequired=$5000)
🚫 Filtered pool HhRA2S8L (raydium_clmm): Solscan TVL $9.22 < min $5000.00

Bug Fixes & Improvements

Bug: Low Liquidity Pools Bypassing Filter (Fixed December 24, 2025)

Issue Summary

Low liquidity pools were bypassing the Solscan liquidity filter when served from cache, even when minLiquidity parameter was active and the pool had TVL far below the threshold.

Example Case:

• Pool: HhRA2S8LrDFi8cWNXhCSXre31RgLkTFMj7bM1FK99CaZ
• TVL: $9.24 USD
• Min Liquidity Threshold: $5,000 USD
• Expected: Pool should be filtered out
• Actual: Pool was served from cache

Root Cause

The cache validation logic had a permissive fallback that allowed cached quotes with unknown liquidity to bypass the filter.

Timeline:

T=0s    → User requests quote
T=0.1s  → Quote calculated, pool selected (no Solscan data yet)
T=0.2s  → Quote cached with pool HhRA2S...
T=10s   → Solscan enrichment runs, discovers TVL=$9.24
T=15s   → User requests same quote again
T=15.1s → Cache hit! BUT poolLiquidity returns 0 (race condition)
         → Cache validation sees poolLiquidity=0
         → Allows cached quote through (BUG!)

The Fix

Changed Logic (main.go):

if poolLiquidity > 0 && poolLiquidity < minLiquidityUSD {
    // Filter out low liquidity pool
    exists = false
} else if poolLiquidity > 0 {
    // Allow high liquidity pool
} else {
    // poolLiquidity == 0: No Solscan data available
    // STRICT MODE: Invalidate cache to force fresh calculation with filtering
    log.Printf("⚠️  No Solscan data for pool %s, invalidating cache to apply liquidity filter", poolID[:8])
    exists = false // Force recalculation
}

Why This Works

1. Conservative Approach: When minLiquidity filter is active and we have no data, we don’t trust the cached quote
2. Fresh Calculation: Forces GetOrCalculateQuote() to run with minLiquidityUSD parameter
3. Router Filtering: The router’s GetBestPoolWithFilter() will properly filter pools using Solscan data if available

Metrics Added

• quote_cache_invalidated_total{reason="no_liquidity_data"}
• quotes_invalidated_by_liquidity_total{pool_id="..."}
• quotes_invalidated_count{reason="low_pool_liquidity"}

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue: Low-Liquidity Pools Still in Cache

Problem

You see a pool with low TVL in Solscan data, but it’s still being returned in quote responses.

Root Cause

The pool was cached BEFORE Solscan enrichment had data for it.

Timeline:

1. Service starts → Quote cache is empty
2. User requests quote → Pool passes initial filtering (no Solscan data yet)
3. Quote gets cached with this pool
4. 5 minutes later → Solscan enrichment runs, discovers pool has low TVL
5. Cached quote still uses the old pool (cache doesn’t get re-filtered automatically)

Solution 1: Clear the Cache (Immediate)

# Clear all cached quotes
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cache/clear

# Check cache stats
curl http://localhost:8080/cache/stats

What happens next:

1. Cache is cleared
2. Next periodic refresh will fetch quotes again
3. This time, Solscan data is available
4. Pool gets filtered out
5. A different, high-liquidity pool is selected

Solution 2: Wait for Refresh (Automatic)

Wait up to 5 minutes for the background refresh to naturally cycle.

Solution 3: Adjust Minimum Liquidity

# Restart service with lower minimum
.\bin\quote-service.exe -minLiquidity 5

Verification Steps

1. Check if Solscan filtering is enabled

curl http://localhost:8080/cache/stats

Look for:

{
  "solscan": {
    "enrichment_enabled": true,
    "pools_with_data": 3,
    "avg_tvl_usd": 6758.45
  }
}

2. Check Solscan data for specific pool

curl "http://localhost:8080/solscan/pool?address=HhRA2S8LrDFi8cWNXhCSXre31RgLkTFMj7bM1FK99CaZ"

3. Watch logs during quote request

🔍 Pool HhRA2S8L: Solscan provider returned TVL=$9.24 (minRequired=$5000)
🚫 Filtered pool HhRA2S8L (raydium): Solscan TVL $9.24 < min $5000
✅ Pool EXHyQxMS (raydium): Solscan TVL $11030.30 >= min $5000

Common Scenarios

Scenario 1: New Pool Just Created

Symptoms:

• Pool has low liquidity
• Shows up in quotes immediately
• Solscan data not yet available

Fix:

# Wait for Solscan to index it, then clear cache
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cache/clear

Scenario 2: Solscan API Down

Symptoms:

• All pools showing “No liquidity data available”
• Service falling back to on-chain estimates

Check:

curl http://localhost:8080/cache/stats | jq '.solscan.pools_with_data'
# If 0, Solscan enrichment failed

Scenario 3: Pool Liquidity Changed

Symptoms:

• Pool had high liquidity ($50k), now only $5k
• Still showing up in quotes

Fix:

# Clear cache to force re-evaluation
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cache/clear

Debug Commands

# Check what pools are being tracked
curl http://localhost:8080/solscan/pools | jq '.pools[] | {poolAddress, tvl, protocol}'

# Check current minimum liquidity setting
curl http://localhost:8080/cache/stats | jq '.cache.min_liquidity_usd'

# Force a specific pair to refresh
curl "http://localhost:8080/quote?input=...&output=...&amount=10000000&fresh=true"

# Check pool selection logs
grep "Selected pool" logs.txt
grep "Filtered pool" logs.txt

Troubleshooting Summary

The pool filtering is working correctly, but cached quotes need to be refreshed for the filtering to take effect.

Quick Fix:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/cache/clear

Automatic Fix:

• Wait 5 minutes for next Solscan enrichment cycle
• Wait 30 seconds for next quote refresh cycle

Long-term:

• Service will automatically filter out low-liquidity pools
• Solscan enrichment runs continuously in background
• Cache refreshes every 30 seconds with current filters

Configuration & Best Practices

Configuration

Environment Variables

# Solscan enrichment is enabled by default
# Cache TTL: 10 minutes (hardcoded in main.go)
# Rate limit: 2 requests per second (hardcoded in main.go)
# Background enrichment interval: 5 minutes (hardcoded in main.go)

Initialization (main.go)

// P2: Solscan Liquidity Enricher (Enhanced filtering)
solscanEnricher = NewSolscanLiquidityEnricher(
    10*time.Minute, // Cache TTL: 10 minutes
    2,              // Rate limit: 2 requests per second
)
log.Printf("✓ Solscan enricher initialized (cache_ttl=10m, rate_limit=2/s)")

// Start background enrichment
go solscanEnricher.EnrichPoolsInBackground(ctx, quoteCache, 5*time.Minute)

Customization

// Increase cache TTL for less frequent API calls
solscanEnricher = NewSolscanLiquidityEnricher(
    30*time.Minute, // 30 minutes instead of 10
    5,              // 5 requests per second instead of 2
)

// More frequent background enrichment
go solscanEnricher.EnrichPoolsInBackground(ctx, quoteCache, 2*time.Minute)

Best Practices

For Operators

1. Monitor Enrichment Metrics: Track solscan_enriched_pools gauge
2. Set Reasonable Defaults: minLiquidity=5000 balances safety and availability
3. Enable Background Enrichment: Don’t rely solely on manual API calls
4. Respect Rate Limits: Keep requestsPerSecond at 2 or lower

For API Users

1. Use minLiquidity Parameter: Filter out low-liquidity pools proactively
2. Call /solscan/pool First: For specific pools, enrich before quoting
3. Handle “No Pools” Errors: Gracefully fallback or retry with lower threshold
4. Check /cache Endpoint: Verify enrichment status before high-volume requests

Performance Characteristics

Memory Usage

• Per Pool: ~100 bytes (poolID string + float64 TVL)
• Typical Load: 50-200 pools = 5-20 KB
• High Load: 1000 pools = ~100 KB

Negligible memory impact ✅

API Call Frequency

• Background: 1 enrichment cycle per 5 minutes
• Per Cycle: N pools / 2 req/sec = N/2 seconds
• Example: 100 pools = 50 seconds per enrichment cycle

Solscan API Load: ~0.33 req/sec sustained ✅

Quote Latency Impact

• With Solscan Data: No impact (cached lookup, O(1))
• Without Solscan Data: +100-500ms for first fetch
• Subsequent Requests: No impact (5-minute cache)

User-facing latency: <5ms added for filtering ✅

Observability

Metrics

# Solscan enrichment
solscan_cache_hits_total
solscan_cache_misses_total
solscan_fetch_errors_total
solscan_api_request_duration_seconds

Logs

✓ Solscan enricher initialized (cache_ttl=10m, rate_limit=2/s)
✓ Solscan background enrichment started (interval=5m)

[INFO] Starting Solscan pool enrichment pool_count=15
[INFO] Completed Solscan pool enrichment success_count=14 error_count=1
[WARN] Failed to enrich pool pool_address=abc12345 error="solscan API returned status 429"

Error Handling

Graceful Degradation

1. API Unavailable: Falls back to on-chain liquidity calculation
2. Rate Limited: Uses cached data, waits for next cycle
3. Invalid Response: Logs error, continues with other pools
4. Network Timeout: Skips pool, retries in next cycle

Future Enhancements

Planned Features

1. Cache Management Endpoint
   • POST /solscan/cache/clear - Clear all cached data
   • GET /solscan/cache/stats - Cache statistics
2. Manual Pool Enrichment
   • POST /solscan/enrich?address=<pool> - Force refresh specific pool
3. Pool Liquidity Storage
   • Store enriched liquidity in QuoteCache struct
   • Use for filtering low-liquidity pools
   • Improve quote accuracy
4. Prometheus Dashboards
   • Pre-built Grafana dashboards
   • Alert rules for enrichment failures
5. Configurable Filtering
   • Minimum TVL threshold
   • Minimum 24h volume
   • Pool age requirements

Alternative Data Sources

• DexScreener API: Alternative to Solscan
• Jupiter Aggregator: Use their pool rankings
• On-Chain Vault Balances: Direct Solana RPC for CLMM/DLMM pools
• Multiple Sources: Consensus-based TVL (average of 2-3 sources)
