Set the amplification too high, LPs bleed during de-pegs. Too low, every swap pays unnecessary slippage. StableSurge is the V3 hook that removes this tradeoff. Let's understand how it works" ### Post #2 by @Balancer > **Author:** Balancer ([@Balancer](https://x.com/Balancer)) > **Metrics:** 1 likes · 0 retweets · 1 comments · 55 views > **Posted:** 2026-04-13T17:30:11+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Balancer/status/2043743563629113448](https://x.com/Balancer/status/2043743563629113448) > > "Quick recap: stable pools use the amplification parameter (A) to control how flat the pricing curve is. High A = tight spreads, great capital efficiency. But when a token de-pegs, the curve barely reacts. Arbers drain the pool at near-1:1 rates before slippage kicks in." ### Post #3 by @Balancer > **Author:** Balancer ([@Balancer](https://x.com/Balancer)) > **Metrics:** 1 likes · 0 retweets · 1 comments · 26 views > **Posted:** 2026-04-13T17:30:13+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/Balancer/status/2043743575327027407](https://x.com/Balancer/status/2043743575327027407) > > "StableSurge is a V3 hook that attaches to stable pools and makes swap fees dynamic. Instead of charging a fixed fee regardless of pool state, fees respond to how balanced or imbalanced the pool is. Two new parameters control the behavior: surgeThreshold and maxSurgeFee." --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
