How I met Meteora.

I found @MeteoraAG in January 2024, during one of those deep-diving phases where I was testing every DeFi tool I could get my hands on. Most of my time was split between Uniswap, TraderJoe, PancakeSwap, and a handful of protocols on Arbitrum.

Solana DeFi protocols weren't really on my radar back then. Raydium and the rest didn't click. On TraderJoe I loved the bid-ask strategy that was new to me, but the auto-compound meant I couldn't claim fees when I wanted. On other platforms I could add one-sided liquidity, but no bid-ask.

Then Meteora showed up, and it felt like someone finally built the app I kept wishing existed. One-sided liquidity? Yes. Bid-ask? Yes. Claim fees at will? Obviously. Multiple positions per pool, flexible ranges, clean UX, crazy fast site. It felt like the best parts of a dozen dApps stitched into one smooth machine.

I was hooked.

Explorer

By February 2024 I couldn't keep quiet. I went live and showed my community what I thought was the best new DeFi tool around. From then on, every TGE and fresh launch we looked at as a LP possibility. I pushed Meteora on Solana as a must-use dApp.

I tried everything: memes, SOL/USDC, blue chips. The experiments stacked up, my goal was to find the right strategy. Over time, my old trading skills, technical analysis, and DeFi experience came together in a way that just worked here. It wasn't only math anymore. It was discipline and timing.

Eventually, I started a Telegram group, then a Discord channel to share my positions and brainstorm ideas with others.

Not everyone was ready to LP, though. Some didn't want to touch memes, some were scared of volatility, and some just didn't get it. That's when I realized: if I wanted others to succeed, I had to go beyond sharing my trades. I had to teach.

Educator

The best way to truly learn something is to teach it.

In fall 2024 I opened a Telegram group for people who wanted to earn with Meteora. I posted PnL cards, walkthroughs, setups, and explained the why behind each move. Profits grab attention first; tech sinks in after.

At first I just knew I wanted to teach. But I wasn't ready yet. I needed a proper plan, clear setups, and a place where people could follow along without getting lost.

So from fall until December, I prepared. I organized notes, cleaned up strategies, recorded drafts, and tested everything in real time. While I was getting the structure right, I shared PnL cards to spark interest and show what was possible. People noticed. Curiosity turned into DMs. DMs turned into a small crowd waiting for the door to open.

In December I finally went live. I hosted a full walkthrough stream and then opened the Meteora Club channel to anyone who wanted in. That was the start of the real journey. From there we began learning together, step by step, setup by setup, until the results started speaking for themselves. People who had never touched a DEX started sharing profitable LP results. Seeing those screenshots roll in still makes my day. Teaching became just as important as LP for me.

Since then it's been regular livestreams, short videos, voice notes, anything that helps people learn and stick with it.

The Notion dashboard

I keep a living Notion dashboard where everything sits in one place: all my livestreams, short videos, threads, and links to key resources. It's our playbook and library in one, always updated, always open to the community.

English-speaking YouTube

I spun up a YouTube channel just for my English Meteora content. It's neatly organized into playlists: beginner tutorials, strategy breakdowns, live session replays and case studies. If you want the full path from new to LP to confident and consistent, this channel is the hub.

Going out into the big world

For a long time everything I did stayed in Russian, inside Telegram and Discord. It felt like a small town where everyone knew me. But at some point, I knew I had to leave the comfort zone and step into a bigger world.

So, I went to Twitter. I posted in English, recorded videos, and shared strategies even though it wasn't my native language. My first English piece was a simple Notion dashboard video. That one got @UseUltraLP's attention, he reached out after that and handed our community some access codes. We talked, traded stories, and a few Russian-speaking folks from his group joined my chat. They're still active today.

Later I made another video, How I LP in the Current Market Conditions, and it won 3rd place in an LP Army contest. That little win gave me a push to keep going. Post by post, video by video, I got hooked on creating. I launched a YouTube channel to keep all my Meteora content in one place.

Around four months ago I also became a Meteora Expert in the @0xGuildofheroes, a private group for crypto degens. There I share strategies, answer questions, and every Thursday I go live to talk through all the important Meteora news and updates.

From yield to real life

Meteora didn't just teach me how to LP. It became a way to earn, something I could point to in daily life.

It started small. I used Meteora profits to cover coffee and snacks, paid with the Solayer card. Simple stuff, but it felt different. DeFi wasn't just charts on a screen anymore. It bought me a cappuccino. It bought a snack. That tiny, repeatable win gave me momentum.

Then a thought hit me. If I can cover coffee, what else can I cover?

I wanted something that actually matters. Not a one-off trade. A steady, meaningful goal.

So I set a target: pay my child's kindergarten fees with yield. Not someday, every month.

Meteora was covering it. That flipped a switch for me. This isn't just about APYs. It's about turning yield into real, purpose-driven impact for my family.

Those IRL moments keep me hungry. And I love seeing others do the same, @met_lparmy stories about turning fees into everyday purchases are pure fuel. That's real motivation. That's real DeFi.

Becoming Content Machine

Meteora saw my work and brought me on as a Content Machine, right then it clicked: this is my lane. I'm on X daily with quick reads, pool ideas, and notes from my own positions; the deeper breakdowns live on YouTube in English.

The wild part wasn't just the title. It was getting closer to the Meteora team and other creators. That changed everything. We talk, ship, test, and translate new features into plain language together. Meteora's approach is different: they listen first, move fast, and treat creators like partners, not billboards. That's why it stands out.

The team backs the community and it genuinely feels like a second family. Big thank you to @0xmiir, your support made this possible.

And later being featured on the LP ARMY website was huge for me too; shoutout to @AlekssRG for the help and support. And of course, the other members of the team and Content Machines are legends and very nice to each other.

Right now

These days I live inside the Meteora world. I'm a content machine, creating content on X and YouTube, posting breakdowns, threads, and quick updates.

I run two communities. The first is Meteora Club, where people learn, share PnL, and improve together. The second is my work inside the GoH Community, where I serve as a Meteora Expert and give a Thursday news update every week.

I'm also active in the LP ARMY Discord, trading notes with other LPs and testing new ideas. And I go live on the @MeteoraCIS X channel and with @UnifaiNetwork, testing new tools and strategies.

The team is supportive, the community is hungry to learn, and the pace is perfect for builders.

My life right now is focused on Meteora and the people around it. We show up, we study, we ship. And it keeps getting better.

Final words

From day one until now, the mission hasn't changed: onboard people into LPing and teach them to do it well. I truly believe it's one of the most valuable skills of this century. Meteora is my gold standard, so that's where I keep my focus.

It's been one year and ten months. We've had good runs and bad draws. The future looks bright.

Meteora isn't just a platform to me anymore. It's part of my life, and I'm so proud to be a part of it.

This is only the beginning.
