Dynamic Spread (Single sided)

Single-Sided Dynamic Spread is an automated market making strategy that starts with tokens deployed on one side only, and establishes two-way liquidity after initial accumulation through exponential price auctions.

How It Works

  1. Begins with token-only deposits and establishes reserves through trading

  2. Uses exponential price auctions to discover and adapt to market prices

  3. Tracks weighted average prices to ensure profitable rotations

  4. Transitions from accumulation to balanced market making over time

Key Benefits

  • Capital Efficiency: Start market making with just tokens; no need for both assets upfront

  • Continuous Two-Way Liquidity: Establishes balanced liquidity through trading

  • Market Adaptability: Adjusts to trends while protecting against adverse movements

  • Opportunity Capture: Can benefit from price appreciation during the accumulation phase

Ideal Use Cases

  • When lacking stable reserves but wanting to provide liquidity

  • In situations requiring capital efficiency

  • With tokens that have natural price appreciation expectations

  • Projects looking to bootstrap liquidity without significant stable reserves

Technical Parameters

  • Initial token allocation

  • Target spread parameters

  • Auction curve settings

  • Cost basis tracking preferences
