Custom Concentrated Liquidity is now live on Rujira.
To help you get started, we include 6 preset strategies, from passive and wide to tighter and more directional setups.
Not sure which CCL range to choose?
Here is what each one means and how you can use them.
First, understand the CCL range itself
Before looking at the presets, it helps to understand the CCL range itself.
Your lower range is the price where you are comfortable being 100% in the base asset, for example BTC. You will be averaging down between the price at the time you create your range and the low you set.
Your upper range is the price where you are comfortable being 100% in the quote asset, for example USDC. You will be taking profit between the price at the time you create your range and the high you set.
Between those two levels, depending on market volatility and spread, your liquidity works automatically as price moves through the range.
Let’s look at the 6 presets below.
⚡️ Passive
Range: around -99.5% to +2000%
This is the broadest preset and the one closest to an XYK-style strategy, while still being more capital efficient than XYK. It is designed for people who want a more set-and-forget approach and do not want to adjust often.
Because your liquidity is spread so wide, it is usually less efficient than tighter ranges, but it gives you broad market coverage.
When to use Passive
This can make sense if you want simple exposure, expect a lot of uncertainty, or prefer convenience over optimization.
It is usually the easiest starting point, but not the best choice if you want to be more active or aim for higher capital efficiency.
⚡️ Wide
Range: around -50% to +100%
This preset is made for more volatile pairs.
It gives your strategy room to stay active across larger price swings, while still being more focused than a fully passive setup.
When to use Wide
This can fit when you expect meaningful volatility but still want your liquidity to remain useful across a broad zone.
It is a balanced option for people who want more efficiency than Passive, without going so tight that the range is easy to leave.
⚡️ Tight
Range: 90-day low to 90-day high
This preset keeps liquidity closer to the price action. It is often a better fit for stablecoins or correlated assets like BTC/WBTC, where price tends to move within a more contained range.
A tighter range can improve capital efficiency while price stays inside it.
When to use Tight
This can work well when you expect calmer market conditions or when the pair is naturally more stable.
It is less forgiving than a wide range, but can be more efficient if your market view is right.
⚡️ One-sided Lower
Range: lower side only, around -50%**
This preset is for people who want to build a position and provide liquidity if price moves down.
In simple terms, you are positioning your strategy so it becomes more active lower in the range, where you would be comfortable accumulating more of the base asset.
When to use One-sided Lower
This can make sense if you would be happy buying into weakness or adding exposure consistently at lower prices.
It is useful when you have a bullish long-term view and want your liquidity positioned to work if the market dips.
⚡️ One-sided Higher
Range: upper side only, around +100%
This preset is for people who want to take profit and provide liquidity if price moves up.
It is a more directional setup for those who are comfortable selling more of the base asset into strength and becoming more positioned in the quote asset higher up.
When to use One-sided Higher
This can fit if you expect price to move upward and are comfortable reducing exposure or taking profit consistently into that direction.
It is useful when you want liquidity to become active higher in the range, instead of using a balanced setup around the current price.
⚡️ Copy (coming soon)
Copied from the current top performer
This preset lets you copy the range and parameters from the most profitable strategies.
It can be helpful for discovering how the top performer is positioned, especially if you are still learning how range selection works.
When to use Copy
This can be a useful reference point, but it is still important to understand what you are copying.
A top-performing setup in one market condition may not be the best fit for the next one, so it helps to treat this as guidance, not autopilot.
