Aerodrome USDz Pools

sAMM USDz/USDC Pool

This is our standard stable pool on Aerodrome. You can participate in this pool without actively managing your portfolio, as stablecoins typically remain within the necessary range for fee mining.

Stable pools (sAMM) are a specific type of liquidity pool intended for use with assets that have minimal to no price volatility. The formula used in these pools is designed to maintain low slippage, even in the presence of large trading volumes. The formula is represented as:

𝑥3𝑦+𝑦3𝑥≥𝑘x3y+y3xk

A standard fee of 0.05% is charged for this type of liquidity pool.

The mathematical formulas used in both pools aim to maintain a balanced total pool liquidity at all times.

CL1 USDz/USDC Pool

Our concentrated liquidity pool offers higher yields because the ranges are tighter, capturing a higher multiple on generated fees. However, be prepared to actively manage these types of pools, as prices may fluctuate out of range, resulting in no fees during that period. We recommend understanding the mechanics of Impermanent Loss before depositing in this pool.

Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) pools allow liquidity providers to select a specific price range for active trading. Unlike constant product AMM pools, CLMM design enhances capital efficiency and boosts trading fee yields for LPs. It also improves liquidity depth, offering better prices and reduced price impact for traders.

However, CLMMs can increase impermanent loss, so understanding its implications is essential. Efficient capital allocation is possible with CLMMs, but monitoring market fluctuations is crucial to mitigate potential impermanent loss.
