      <title>Mycelium’s useful next step: make the liquidity map easier to act on</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For developers building Solana dashboards or agent tools, &lt;a href="https://www.myceliumfinance.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Mycelium Finance&lt;/a&gt; offers something concrete to inspect: a map of liquidity connecting its own tokens with partner projects. $MYC is the core token; $ESF is the staking token. The Mycelium Strategy places liquidity across those partner pools. Its free MCP tools expose the allocation, token distribution, pool addresses and selected market data, giving a builder a starting point for checking the project’s claims.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0oi2bfkg83k319u2estt.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0oi2bfkg83k319u2estt.png" alt="Mycelium Strategy allocation across ten projects, from the 15 October 2026 MCP snapshot" width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My free tool calls on 15 October 2026 returned a Strategy allocation of &lt;strong&gt;$31,984.17 across ten projects&lt;/strong&gt;. KNOTS accounted for &lt;strong&gt;20.33%&lt;/strong&gt;, PRCL &lt;strong&gt;14.98%&lt;/strong&gt;, and KINS &lt;strong&gt;11.78%&lt;/strong&gt;. Together, those three represented &lt;strong&gt;47.09%&lt;/strong&gt;, calculated from the reported shares. The remaining allocation included SOL, GABLE, STREAM, GUAC, DREAMS, JUBJUB and USDC. This is a spread across several projects, with a substantial concentration in its largest positions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is also a useful distinction inside that allocation. The tool reports both $MYC and $ESF partner pairs, explaining that pools are being migrated from $ESF to $MYC. KNOTS and SOL have both kinds of pair in this snapshot; PRCL is shown through an $ESF pair, while KINS and DREAMS are shown through $MYC pairs. A developer can therefore show the actual pool structure rather than treating every connection as an identical $MYC relationship. The reported pool addresses make that view traceable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The supply picture adds context. Against &lt;strong&gt;one billion minted $MYC&lt;/strong&gt;, the distribution tool assigns &lt;strong&gt;55.10%&lt;/strong&gt; to time-locked supply, &lt;strong&gt;23.34%&lt;/strong&gt; to unlocked LP liquidity, &lt;strong&gt;14.51%&lt;/strong&gt; to locked LP liquidity, &lt;strong&gt;6.90%&lt;/strong&gt; to the category called “trading liquidity,” and &lt;strong&gt;0.14%&lt;/strong&gt; to burned tokens. Percentages are rounded. That “trading” category includes holder wallets and other pools; it is not a measurement of trading volume.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tool separately defines &lt;strong&gt;447.56 million $MYC&lt;/strong&gt; as tradable, with &lt;strong&gt;84.58%&lt;/strong&gt; of that amount in the identified liquidity pools. This is the important denominator: the figure describes token placement within tradable supply, not the share of all minted tokens. It also does not establish executable trade depth, active demand or fee income. Those need different measurements. Locked liquidity positions and time-locked token supply likewise describe different constraints and should stay separate in an interface.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The performers tool provides another check against overinterpreting the allocation. In this snapshot, pinned partner STREAM showed a &lt;strong&gt;−0.25%&lt;/strong&gt; seven-day price change, PRCL &lt;strong&gt;−0.87%&lt;/strong&gt;, and KNOTS &lt;strong&gt;−11.84%&lt;/strong&gt;. These are individual token price changes, not returns earned by the Strategy’s LP positions. The data can support a comparison screen; it cannot, by itself, show that the Strategy outperformed an alternative.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My concrete suggestion is a pool-level connection dashboard: show each partner’s $MYC/$ESF split, its source timestamp, lock status where verifiable, and links to the underlying pools. Add executable quote depth and realized fees when those data are available, with explicit gaps otherwise. That would build on the useful allocation feed while helping partners and agents distinguish liquidity placement from liquidity performance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Snapshot sources: free &lt;code&gt;get_mycelium_allocation&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;get_solana_top_performers&lt;/code&gt; outputs updated around 04:30:43 UTC; &lt;code&gt;get_mycelium_distribution&lt;/code&gt; updated 04:30:12 UTC; &lt;code&gt;get_myc_token_info&lt;/code&gt; identifies token roles. All figures come from the saved tool responses or labeled calculations. This is a snapshot analysis, not a forecast.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
