Are you an asset developer who would like help making your markets more attractive to users?

Crypto Liquidity Providers are often misunderstood and interpreted as some kind of 'market manipulators'. So first let’s clearly define what Market Making is: Market Making comes from traditional financial markets and describes an entity that helps keep markets of an asset healthy. Meaning, providing liquidity for buying and selling that asset. This is vital because as a buyer of a token you want to purchase an asset (close to) the last price. In technical terms a market makers job is described as keeping the spread in the order book of an asset as tight as possible. Here is where we can help. We can provide you the tools to achieve this for your markets. The aim is – besides making an immediate effect of being a more attractive market to trade on – to enable markets to grow organically by attracting more buyers and sellers who then themselves provide more liquidity.

What We Do

Our market making system was developed in-house as a unique hybrid of Automated Market Making from liquidity pools applied for use with Spot Markets. This ensures that we can keep orders in your books at all times, no matter the current price. Since the software is integrated into our core systems, it is very fast and efficient.

How Does It Work

First, we setup a liquidity pool on our platform for each of the spot market pairs to provide market making on. The amount of liquidity provided into the pool directly reflects in the orderbook quantity amounts on the spot market. The greater the liquidity you provide in the pool, the greater the liquidity will be placed into the spot market. The more the better, but you can start small and add more liquidity to the pool at any time. In order to prevent removal of liquidity, we setup the initial liquidity in the pool. Once the pool is setup, we use mathematical equations to determine price points and quantities to place into the spot market orderbooks.

Prices for the spot markets are determined by a constant spread rate that is set at the time of creating the market making. Usually we try to keep the spread between buy and sell prices at 3% or lower, then the distance for the remaining orders can be anywhere from 2-4% away from the previous orders.

Quantities for each price level are determined using the formula P = sqrt(C/$). Where P is the primary asset total quantity in the pool, C is the constant product of the pool (constant product = Primary Asset Quantity * Secondary Asset Quantity), $ is the price. Using this formula we can determine for any price level how much of the Primary asset the liquidity pool can provide.

Due to the nature of how constant product liquidity pools work, there will always be some liquidity at every price level. Neither the Primary nor the Secondary asset quantities can ever reach zero.

Costs

We do not charge for the service. However, it is required that you deposit the funds necessary to create the liquidity pool for the market making. The amount needed entirely depends on the project. Contact us for more specifics and we will work with you to ensure you always have healthy orderbooks.
