Automated Market Making and Loss-Versus-Rebalancing
We consider the market microstructure of automated market makers (AMMs) from the perspective of liquidity providers (LPs). Our central contribution is a `Black-Scholes formula for AMMs''. We identify the main adverse selection cost incurred by LPs, which we call loss-versus-rebalancing'' (LVR, pronounced `lever''). LVR captures costs incurred by AMM LPs due to stale prices that are picked off by better informed arbitrageurs. We derive closed-form expressions for LVR applicable to all automated market makers. Our model is quantitatively realistic, matching actual LP returns empirically, and shows how CFMM protocols can be redesigned to reduce or eliminate LVR.

Rebalancing-versus-Rebalancing: Improving the fidelity of Loss-versus-Rebalancing
Automated Market Makers (AMMs) hold assets and are constantly being rebalanced by external arbitrageurs to match external market prices. Loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR) is a pivotal metric for measuring how an AMM pool per…

We consider Geometric Mean Market Makers -- a special type of Decentralized Exchange -- with two types of users: liquidity takers and arbitrageurs. Liquidity takers trade at prices that can create arbitrage opportunities…
Impermanent loss and Loss-vs-Rebalancing II
This paper examines the relationship between impermanent loss (IL) and loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR) in automated market makers (AMMs). Our main focus is on statistical properties, the impact of fees, the role of block t…
Impermanent loss and loss-vs-rebalancing I: some statistical properties
There are two predominant metrics to assess the performance of automated market makers and their profitability for liquidity providers: 'impermanent loss' (IL) and 'loss-versus-rebalance' (LVR). In this short paper we sh…
