Abstract: We study the BPS particle spectrum of five-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on $mathbb{R}^{4}imes{S}^1$ with one-dimensional Coulomb branch, by means of their associated BPS quivers. By viewing these theories as arising from the geometric engineering within M-theory, the quivers are naturally associated to the corresponding local Calabi-Yau threefold. We show that the symmetries of the quiver, descending from the symmetries of the Calabi-Yau geometry, together with the affine root lattice structure of the flavor charges, provide equations for the Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing invariant. We solve these equations iteratively: the pattern arising from the solution is naturally extended to an exact conjectural expression, that we provide for the local Hirzebruch $mathbb{F}_0$, and local del Pezzo $d{P}_3$ and $d{P}_5$ geometries. Remarkably, the BPS spectrum consists of two copies of suitable $4d$ $mathcalN=2$ spectra, augmented by Kaluza-Klein towers.
