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 shed light on the statistical aspects of both concepts and show that they are more similar than conventionally appreciated. Our analysis uses the properties of a random walk and some analytical properties of the statistical integral combined with the mechanics of a constant function market maker (CFMM). We consider non-toxic or rather unspecific trading in this paper. Our main finding can be summarized in one sentence: For Brownian motion with a given volatility, IL and LVR have identical expectation values but vastly differing distribution functions.

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…
Model-free Hedging of Impermanent Loss in Geometric Mean Market Makers
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…
A General Framework for Impermanent Loss in Automated Market Makers
We provide a framework for analyzing impermanent loss for general Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and show that Geometric Mean Market Makers (G3Ms) are in a rigorous sense the simplest class of AMMs from an impermanent lo…
Static Replication of Impermanent Loss for Concentrated Liquidity Provision in Decentralised Markets
This article analytically characterizes the impermanent loss of concentrated liquidity provision for automatic market makers in decentralised markets such as Uniswap. We propose two static replication formulas for the im…
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 m…
