# pools

**Type:** GraphQL queries

**Description:**
Retrieve a paginated list of liquidity pools with sorting and optional protocol filtering.

This query returns AMM pools (currently sourced from a single protocol used by the Sushi team)
including reserves, TVL (USD), volume, fees, APR, and recent activity metrics.
Prices for TVL/volume/fees are computed using DIA data (https://api.diadata.org) refreshed
approximately every 5 minutes.

Use `orderBy` to sort by TVL, 24h/7d volume, 24h APR, or 24h transaction count (ASC/DESC),
and `protocolAddress` to limit results to a specific protocol/module name on Kadena.
Results support cursor-based pagination.

## Arguments
- after (String): Cursor to start paginating **after** a specific result (forward pagination).
- before (String): Cursor to start paginating **before** a specific result (backward pagination).
- first (Int): Maximum number of pools to return when paginating forward.
- last (Int): Maximum number of pools to return when paginating backward.
- orderBy (PoolOrderBy): Sort order for the returned pools.

- protocolAddress (String): The protocol/module name (on Kadena) to filter by.
Use this to restrict results to a specific DEX implementation.
