Understanding Automated Market Makers (AMMs)
Automated Market Makers (AMMs) power decentralised exchanges like Camelot and Uniswap. They enable anyone with a cryptocurrency wallet to trade or provide liquidity without needing a centralised authority. This process relies solely on predefined code, ensuring transparency and decentralisation.
What is a CLAMM?
Concentrated Liquidity Automated Market Makers (CLAMMs) are a type of AMM that allows liquidity providers (LPs) to specify a price range within which their tokens are utilised.
For example, an LP might choose to provide liquidity for ETH/USDC trades only within the price range of $1,600 to $1,900. This targeted liquidity provision enables LPs to earn fees from trades occurring within these set price bounds.
