BTB FinanceKrystal alternative
Why give Krystal a percentage of your position on every rebalance and 2% of your fees? BTB auto-rebalances for a flat fee.
Krystal is an LP management app with automation tools and managed vaults across many EVM chains and Solana. BTB Finance rebalances, compounds and keeps your LP staked from your own wallet for a flat $0.10 per rebalance on Base and $0.50 on Robinhood Chain, whatever the position size, and never takes a share of what it earns.

What it costs on a real position
Take a $10,000 position on Base in a 0.05% pool, earning $3,000 a year in fees (30%), rebalanced 100 times and compounded weekly.
| A year of automation | How it adds up | |
|---|---|---|
| Krystal | about $410 | 100 auto-rebalances at 0.01% of $10,000 ($1 each), 2% of $3,000 in compounded fees, and the 0.05% pool fee on about $5,000 swapped each rebalance ($2.50 each); slippage and price impact extra |
| BTB Finance | about $15.46 | 100 rebalances and 52 compounds at $0.10 each, plus hourly checks at 1 BTB each (about $0.26 a year); rebalances swap nothing |
Percentage fees grow with the position; BTB's stays the same. At $100,000 the Krystal figure is about ten times larger, BTB's is unchanged. BTB rebalances without swapping, so there is no swap fee, slippage or MEV to add on its side.
Other free alternatives to Krystal, and what each leaves out
You will meet these in the same search. They are good tools; here is where each stops, so you can pick the right one.
| Tool | Good for | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Revert Finance | Solid position analytics and backtests for Uniswap V3 and forks. | Automation (auto-range, auto-exit) takes 0.15% of the position or 2% of fees per run, and there is no pool discovery across DEX registries. |
| DefiLlama | The widest free yield table in DeFi. | APR is quoted for the whole pool, not a range, and you cannot simulate a range or add a position from it. |
| CoinGecko impermanent loss calculator | Quick two-token IL check. | No fees, no concentrated ranges, no real pool data. |
| Poolfish | Was the free Uniswap V3 calculator most people started with. | Acquired by Metrix Finance in August 2026; users are being moved to Metrix plans. |
| BTB Finance | Simulate any range on any supported DEX, then add and manage the position in place. | LP management covers Ethereum, Base, BNB and Robinhood Chain; other chains are simulate only. |
How BTB keeps automation cheap
Swaps routed through BTB carry a 1% fee, shown before you confirm. That is the revenue. Every week it is split across everyone who checked in, simulated, swapped or held a position through the app, in proportion to the points they earned, and paid out in BTB on Friday. Simulating, discovering pools and managing positions never cost anything; auto-rebalance charges only a flat fee that covers the agent's gas, never a share of your position or its earnings.
Questions
Is BTB Finance a cheaper alternative to Krystal?

Who holds my funds with BTB auto-rebalance?

What would Krystal cost me compared with BTB?
On a $10,000 position earning $3,000 a year in fees, rebalanced 100 times: about $410 a year on Krystal (100 auto-rebalances at 0.01% of $10,000 ($1 each), 2% of $3,000 in compounded fees, and the 0.05% pool fee on about $5,000 swapped each rebalance ($2.50 each); slippage and price impact extra) against about $15.46 on BTB (100 rebalances and 52 compounds at $0.10 each, plus hourly checks at 1 BTB each (about $0.26 a year); rebalances swap nothing). The gap grows with the position, because BTB's fee is flat.
Which DEXes does BTB Finance support for LP management?
Uniswap V3 and V4, PancakeSwap V3, SushiSwap V3, Aerodrome Slipstream, Giga, Ramses and UP, across Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain, including gauge and MasterChef staking where the DEX offers it.
What is the best free alternative to Krystal?
For simulating a concentrated range and then opening it, BTB Finance: it is free, covers Uniswap V3 and V4, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Aerodrome and the Robinhood Chain DEXes, and adds the position from the same screen. Revert Finance is a good free choice for analytics on existing Uniswap V3 positions; DefiLlama is the widest free yield table but does not simulate ranges.
How does the revenue share work?
Every simulation, check-in, swap and position earns points during the week. On Friday the week's revenue is split across everyone's points and paid out in BTB. There is nothing to buy and nothing to stake.
