Generalizing Impermanent Loss on Decentralized Exchanges with Constant Function Market Makers
Liquidity providers are essential for the function of decentralized exchanges to ensure liquidity takers can be guaranteed a counterparty for their trades. However, liquidity providers investing in liquidity pools face many risks, the most prominent of which is impermanent loss. Currently, analysis of this metric is difficult to conduct due to different market maker algorithms, fee structures and concentrated liquidity dynamics across the various exchanges. To this end, we provide a framework to generalize impermanent loss for multiple asset pools obeying any constant function market maker with optional concentrated liquidity. We also discuss how pool fees fit into the framework, and identify the condition for which liquidity provisioning becomes profitable when earnings from trading fees exceed impermanent loss. Finally, we demonstrate the utility and generalizability of this framework with simulations in BalancerV2 and UniswapV3.

Better market Maker Algorithm to Save Impermanent Loss with High Liquidity Retention
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) face persistent challenges in liquidity retention and user engagement due to inefficiencies in conventional automated market maker (AMM) designs. This work proposes a dual-mechanism framewo…
UAMM: Price-oracle based Automated Market Maker
Automated market makers (AMMs) are pricing mechanisms utilized by decentralized exchanges (DEX). Traditional AMM approaches are constrained by pricing solely based on their own liquidity pool, without consideration of ex…
ManagementReplica del valor de un pool (CPM) y hedging de perdidas impermanentes
This article analytically characterizes the impermanent loss for automatic market makers in decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap or Balancer (CPMM). We present a theoretical static replication formula for the pool val…
Liquidity provision of utility indifference type in decentralized exchanges
We present a mathematical formulation of liquidity provision in decentralized exchanges. We focus on constant function market makers of utility indifference type, which include constant product market makers with concent…
