🌊 Deepsea Insights 🌏

One often overlooked advantage of concentrated liquidity is the design space that it opens up for a project seeding liquidity for its token.

While a constant product AMM requires liquidity to be deployed evenly across all prices from zero to infinity, concentrated liquidity allows an LP to choose discrete price ranges where they want to provide liquidity, as well as choose the depth of liquidity that they want to support in each range. The variety of fee tiers to choose from also enable a project to select a higher fee tier if that suits their objectives. This can provide an additional source of funds that can help further grow the protocol.

Orca’s concentrated liquidity platform can give a project providing protocol-owned liquidity more tools to achieve their goals. Reach out to Orca if you have any questions about how Orca can help your project.
