The automated market maker (AMM) is a pioneering crypto primitive that has helped bring DeFi into existence. But we already had the orderbook, why did crypto need its own form of market making? a 🧵 pic unrelated 🏴

So while we love the AMM, it has shortcomings. Crypto benefits from diversifying away from it. It was a necessity for DeFi due to limited options, not because it’s the best model. those options have since grown we are building our V2 with this in mind 🫡

In TradFi and its diverse set of MMs, we see many different ways to interpret information and strategies to make markets while turning a profit. These different methods (bull/bear, long/short vol, etc.) all compete against one another and other exchanges.

In the AMM model, arbitrageurs are the actors that supply the information. But there’s a cost to this. Important: When info must be embedded into price by arb’ing, it’s LPs who bear the burden. Arbitrageurs scalp these profits and LPs cover this cost by way of impermanent loss.

And there are AMM disadvantages that don’t show up in a quantitative way, but are a net negative to markets broadly. Emphasis: AMMs are what we can consider “informationally poor” liquidity sources. They largely derive their pricing via the well-known X * Y = K equation.

There are of course drawbacks to the AMM. You can't submit limit/stop orders. You largely can't chose the price where you provide liquidity. There is greater slippage to trades and LPs have impermanent loss risk by having to provide equal amounts of both assets in a pool.
