The Solana DEX LP Expert provides liquidity on Solana’s concentrated-liquidity DEXes. Its LP Slot Operator loop keeps a fixed number of slots, each one LP position in a trending pool. It exits a slot on take-profit, stop-loss or when the price has left the position’s range for too long, then fills the slot again with the best pool it hasn’t already got. Positions are opened with LP executors through Gateway on Meteora and Orca.

What you need

1

Gateway running

In Settings → Gateway, click Deploy. When it shows Gateway Running, open Networks & RPC and set a reliable Solana RPC for mainnet-beta. Public RPCs are heavily rate-limited.

2

A Solana wallet in Gateway

In Settings → Keys and Wallets, click Add Wallet, choose Solana and paste the wallet’s private key. Use a wallet that holds only what you’re prepared to put into LP positions.
3

SOL in that wallet

The loop quotes in SOL and swaps into each pool’s token itself, so SOL is all you need. Keep extra SOL for transaction fees and position rent: each Meteora position locks about 0.057 SOL, which is refunded when it closes.

A model the agent can run on

The agent’s model is shown next to its name on the agent page. See LLM Integration.
Two optional settings reduce rate-limit failures:
  • Jupiter API key. Without one, Gateway swaps through Jupiter’s public endpoint, which rate-limits hard. In Telegram, send /gateway, open Connectors → jupiter → Edit Configuration and set api_key.
  • COINGECKO_API_KEY in Condor’s .env. Pool ranking uses GeckoTerminal, which allows about 25 requests a minute without a key.

​
How the loop works

Every 300 seconds by default, the agent:
  1. Checks its open slots. It exits a slot when its net PnL reaches the take-profit or stop-loss, or when the price has been outside the position’s range for longer than out_of_range_max_sec.
  2. Ranks pools, if a slot is free. The lp_scanner routine pulls trending Solana pools from GeckoTerminal, drops pools under $25k TVL, and ranks the rest by fee yield (24h fees ÷ TVL).
  3. Fills one slot. It swaps SOL into the pool’s token with a market order through Jupiter (unless the slot is SOL-only), then opens an LP executor on the top pool it doesn’t already hold. It fills at most one slot per tick.
  4. Journals the decision.

​
Configure it

The loop’s settings live in its loop.md. The Start dialog doesn’t show them; open the Playbook tab on the agent page, click edit on loop.md and change default_config.
Set capital_per_slot and keep Max Position small. With capital_per_slot unset, each slot takes your wallet’s SOL balance divided by slots, so a well-funded wallet means large positions. The only hard cap is Max Position in the Start dialog, which for this loop is counted in SOL, even though the dialog labels it with $. For example, with capital_per_slot: 0.5 and three slots, set Max Position to 1.5.
Use venues: meteora,orca. The pool scanner looks up Raydium’s standard AMM pools rather than its concentrated-liquidity (CLMM) pools, so Raydium candidates aren’t valid LP targets.
The loop’s risk_limits block lists min_wallet_sol_reserve and max_open_slots, but Condor’s risk engine doesn’t recognize those fields and ignores them. Keep a SOL buffer in the wallet yourself, and use slots to limit positions.

​
Start the loop

1

Open the agent

Open /agents/solana_dex_lp_expert and make sure LP Slot Operator is selected under the agent’s name.
2

Do a Dry Run

Click Start, choose Dry Run and click Run Dry Test. One tick runs with every action refused. Read the result in the Runs tab.

A dry run also refuses routines, so lp_scanner doesn’t run and there’s no pool ranking. It confirms the agent can reach Gateway and read your wallet. If the wallet has no SOL, it reports that no slot can be filled.
3

Run Once, then Loop

Run Once runs one live tick, which can swap SOL and open a real position. When the result looks right, start again with Loop. Leave Total Amount Quote at its default; this loop sizes positions with capital_per_slot.
While it runs, the Now, Runs, Fleet and Playbook tabs work as described in Guide: Market Making Expert Agent. Open positions also appear on the DEX page under Your LP positions.

​
Stop it

Stop ends the loop but leaves every LP position open. Nothing applies the take-profit, stop-loss or out-of-range exits until you start the loop again; the next session adopts the running LP positions. Run Once positions are never adopted. Close the positions before you stop, or stop them yourself afterwards: on the DEX page, click a position under Your LP positions to open its pool, then use Stop executor in the executors panel below the chart.
The emergency shutdown can’t swap leftover tokens back to SOL; the risk gate only allows closing actions during a shutdown. Afterwards, sell any remaining tokens from the pool’s page on the DEX tab (Order tab).

​
From Telegram

  1. Send /agent, tap Talk to and choose Solana DEX LP Expert.
  2. Ask it to start its loop and give the strategy settings. For example: “Start the lp_slot_operator loop with 2 slots, capital_per_slot 0.5 SOL, venues meteora,orca.” Settings you name are applied to that session.
  3. Approve the confirmation Condor shows before the loop starts.
/stop only cancels the agent’s current reply. To stop the loop, ask the agent to stop it.
