Understanding Liquidity in Decentralized Finance

A practical introduction to market depth, pools and the tradeoffs of onchain liquidity.

What Liquidity Means

Liquidity describes how readily an asset can be exchanged without a significant change in price. In DeFi, it can depend on pools, order books and incentives.

The Role of Liquidity Providers

Participants may supply assets to markets, but fees and incentives do not eliminate price exposure or protocol risk.

Design Tradeoffs

Capital concentration, slippage and volatility can affect market quality. No single liquidity design works equally well in all conditions.
