Liquidswap AMM: Concentrated Liquidity, Bins, and Dynamic Fees
Summary
The document explains Liquidswap, an automated market maker on Aptos created by Pontem Network, and outlines several design features. Liquidity providers can place assets into price-range bins, giving them control over where capital is available. The liquidity book model treats bins as smaller pools at specific price points, while a dynamic fee structure adjusts charges with pair volatility to compensate providers for risk. A unified curve is also described as a way to handle stable and more volatile pairs within one framework.
The article additionally covers Aptos parallel transaction execution and the LSD token’s governance and voting-escrow staking roles. It provides conceptual descriptions but no measured evidence for claims about speed, slippage, capital efficiency, or fee adequacy. It does not quantify impermanent loss or compare returns with other AMMs, so the design should not be read as proof of superior execution or liquidity-provider performance. The token listing details are peripheral to the protocol explanation.
Key ideas
- Liquidswap organizes liquidity into price-range bins where providers select the levels at which they supply assets.
- Its liquidity book model gives providers more price placement control than an undifferentiated pool description would imply.
- The protocol adjusts fees according to pair volatility to compensate liquidity providers for changing risk.
- The document describes a unified curve for pairs with different stability profiles and a voting-escrow governance model for LSD.
- It gives no quantitative comparisons of slippage, impermanent loss, execution speed, or provider returns.
