Liquidity Management
BRR's liquidity management is crucial for its stability and functionality within the Arcadefi ecosystem. This strategy ensures sufficient liquidity while balancing trading behavior and maintaining BRR's premium over its backing price.
Concentrated Liquidity on BRR/ETH Pair
Rationale
Financial Connections: BRR's value is closely tied to the wider DeFi ecosystem, with ETH being the most liquid token.
Flexible Liquidity: Unlike stablecoins, BRR's value fluctuates around a moving backing price, requiring a dynamic liquidity strategy.
Targeted Bands: Liquidity is strategically placed in different premium ranges to effectively manage volatility and trading behavior.
Targeted Liquidity Ranges
Backing
(1 + buffer)x Backing
(1 - buffer)x Backing
Ensure sufficient liquidity to support trading at the backing price
Lower intermediate
Mean of Backing band upper bound and [Deviation_Threshold]x Backing
End of Backing band
Concentrate liquidity to incentivize trading and maintain a healthy premium
Higher Intermediate
[Deviation_Threshold]x Backing
End of Lower Intermediate band
Provide liquidity cautiously to manage risk and avoid unsustainable premiums
Beyond
Infinity
End of Higher Intermediate band
Provide liquidity to ensure protocol functions operate smoothly
Market Maker Incentives & Fees
Backing: Higher fees (e.g., 1%) discourage selling and attract capital to maintain stability.
Lower Intermediate: Lower fees (e.g., 0.3%) encourage trading and arbitrage, enhancing liquidity.
Higher Intermediate: Moderate incentives and lower trading fees (e.g., 0.3%) to support positive price movements.
Beyond: Higher fees (e.g., 1%) slow down trading, allowing supply corrective mechanisms to stabilize prices.
Reweighting & Volatility Scenarios
Stable Market (Low Volatility):
Liquidity is concentrated around the 1x premium range with predictable LP dynamics and fee generation
ETH Price Increase
Liquidity is adjusted to support trading in higher premium ranges, attracting LPs seeking better returns
ETH Price Decrease
Liquidity is adjusted to provide support slightly below the backing price to prevent sharp declines and attract buyers
SEI Price Increase
Liquidity is concentrated around higher premium ranges to take advantage of increased trading interest
SEI Price Decrease
Liquidity adjusted to support trading below the backing price, mitigating sharp declines and incentivizing buying
Bull Market Scenario
Liquidity is concentrated around higher premium ranges to capture trading activity and ensure sufficient liquidity for price discovery
Bear Market Scenario
Liquidity is concentrated around the 1x premium range and slightly below to attract buyers and maintain market stability
Opinion on Reweighting Index
Automated target weights based on market conditions are sufficient, with a potential bias towards stablecoins during market downturns and volatile assets during rallies.
Manual correction may not be necessary due to the system's adaptability to capital flows and market sentiment.
By implementing this liquidity management strategy, Arcadefi aims to ensure the stability and functionality of the BRR token within the DeFi ecosystem, fostering a healthy trading environment and sustainable growth.
