# What is Metrix Finance? Metrix Finance is research software for DeFi investors. It finds liquidity pools and lending markets, tests a position on real on-chain history before you deposit, and tracks what it earns after. Written by [Jake Call](https://metrix.finance/blog/authors/jake-call/) Nov 10, 2026 4 min read Metrix Finance, at metrix.finance, is a research platform for people who put money to work in DeFi (decentralized finance). It shows what liquidity pools and lending markets really paid, lets you test a position on that history before you deposit, and keeps count of what it earns once it is live. Jake Call founded it in August 2023. It has no connection to the other companies and projects called Metrix, which the questions at the end cover. ![The Metrix wordmark above a compass with a single violet needle, on a dark background](https://metrix.finance/images/blog/thumbs/what-is-metrix-finance.png) Who this is for **For:** people who provide liquidity on decentralized exchanges, or lend and borrow on-chain, and want to see what a position really earned before and after they commit. A newcomer can start on the free plan. Someone running several wallets will want a paid plan. **Not for:** placing trades or moving funds, since Metrix only reads the chain. Not for financial advice either: it is research software, and its simulations are based on what already happened. If you want someone to teach you what to do with the numbers, read the last section. ## What Metrix Finance does In the app, the DeFi tools sit in one menu, in this order: Discover, Simulate, Deploy and Track. Metrix AI works alongside all of them. The same flow covers liquidity pools and lending markets. ### Discover: find the markets worth a look Metrix compares the pools and lending markets it covers and ranks them by what they really paid, not by the rate they advertise. A pool can promote a triple digit APR that never shows up in anyone's wallet. Discover shows you the number that did. The [liquidity pools page](https://metrix.finance/product/liquidity-provision/) walks through it. ### Simulate: test a position before you deposit Pick a pool and a price range, and Metrix shows what that position would have earned on the pool's real history, with impermanent loss in the result. You can compare it against simply holding the two tokens, so you know whether providing liquidity was worth it at all. For a loan, it shows how your health factor moves as you borrow more, so you can see how close you would be to liquidation. The [lending and borrowing page](https://metrix.finance/product/lending-borrowing/) shows that side. ### Track: see what it earns Paste a wallet address and Metrix reads its on-chain history. Each pool and lending position shows up with its daily earnings, its value over time and its time in range. Alerts tell you when something needs attention, such as price leaving your range. Metrix can see your positions. It never holds your funds. ### Metrix AI: ask in plain language Metrix AI reads everything Metrix tracks. Ask about your pools, your loans or your fees in plain language and it answers with the numbers, or builds a custom dashboard on request. It comes with the paid plans, on a weekly allowance of credits. The [Metrix AI page](https://metrix.finance/product/metrix-ai/) has examples. ## Who is behind it Jake Call founded Metrix Finance in August 2023. Before that he was a DeFi research analyst at Debut NZ, a managed fund in New Zealand, and he saw everyday investors making the same high-stakes calls as the fund without any of its tools. The [about page](https://metrix.finance/about/) tells the full story. Metrix Finance is part of [Luminary One](https://luminary.one/), which publishes it. Today it tracks $293M+ in liquidity across 592 wallets, and 88,000+ investors have run their numbers on it. Poolfish is now part of Metrix Finance too. It began as Uniswap.fish, the calculator many liquidity providers learned on, and the first version of Metrix was built on its open source code. Old Poolfish calculator links now open the same pool on Metrix with the range filled in, and Poolfish Pro subscriptions moved to Metrix Pro. ## What it costs The free plan costs nothing and has no time limit. It lets you browse every pool and lending market, run basic simulations and track one wallet, with a dashboard of your profit, loss and earnings. Pro is $50 a month or $500 a year. It adds advanced simulation and backtesting, three wallets, price and lending alerts, and Metrix AI. Elite is $100 a month or $800 a year, for people running up to ten wallets who want exposure, hedging and correlation analytics. Both are flat fees, and both start with a 7-day trial. ## What can go wrong What can go wrong Metrix shows what a position earned in the past. It cannot promise what it will earn next. Fees fall when trading slows, a concentrated position stops earning when price leaves its range, impermanent loss can be larger than the fees, and a loan can be liquidated if its health factor drops far enough. Treat every simulation as an estimate built on history. Digital assets can lose value, including all of it. ## What to do with the numbers Metrix gives you the data. It does not tell you which position to take. If you want a teacher for that part, BuildrWealth offers DeFi mentorship and is linked at the end of this post. Jake Call founded both, and both are part of Luminary One, so read that suggestion knowing they share an owner. ## Questions ### Is Metrix Finance the same as Metrix Learning or the Metrix coin? No. Metrix Finance is DeFi research software at metrix.finance, and its app runs at app.metrix.finance. It is not connected to the other companies and projects that use the Metrix name, such as the Metrix Learning training platform or the Metrix coin. If something says it is Metrix Finance and is not on metrix.finance, it is not us. ### Is Metrix Finance free? Yes, to start. The free plan has no time limit. Pro and Elite are flat monthly or yearly fees, each with a 7-day trial and a 7-day money back guarantee (the guarantee does not apply to crypto payments). The [pricing page](https://metrix.finance/pricing/) lists what each plan includes. ### Does Metrix Finance hold my crypto? No. Metrix reads the chain from a wallet address you paste in. It can see your positions, it never holds your funds, and it is not a DeFi protocol you deposit into. Next step Run the numbers yourself. Every claim in these posts traces to real on-chain history. See it on your own positions.
