"What's the minimum deposit to start LPing on Meteora?"

Wrong question, and here's why

A beginner will blow any deposit, 5 SOL or 500

The right question is how to get experience without blowing the bank

> The truth about deposit size

An experienced LP can multiply a few SOL many times over in a month

Only with aggressive strategies though, safe positions won't grow a small deposit

You build the bank with aggression, then dial down the risk over time by moving bits into slow cooks

It's always been this way, not just this year

> The plan for beginners

1. Start with any minimal deposit
2. Learn the theory
3. Practice with small size
4. Write yourself a daily report in a spreadsheet, insights, why the profit, why the loss
5. Repeat 3-4 until the confidence comes

Experience will answer the deposit question for you
