LandX Partnership With Gamma. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange where users can swap one token for another. It works by a liquidity provider adding two assets to a pool, in our case: xTokens & USDC. End users can come along and purchase xTokens with USDC or another asset which will be route through an additional pool i.e. “ETH > USDC > xToken”.
The user pays a fee (usually 0.3%) to make the trade and this fee is give to the liquidity provider. The latest version of Uniswap v3 uses concentrated liquidity pools where a liquidity provider must define a price range at which they are willing to provide liquidity. The tighter this range the more concentrated the liquidity and the greater the fees they receive. This also makes capital provisions more efficient and reduces slippage for traders.
Concentrated liquidity in a Uniswap v3 pool
However, if the price moves outside of this range then their liquidity position completely convert to an asset that is relatively declining in value. This effect is call impermanent loss and it can be a significant risk for liquidity providers.
LandX has significant funding to set up liquidity pools for the xToken/USDC pairs. These funds need to be manage so that the liquidity positions are actively adjust to prevent from going outside range.
Enter Gamma: a protocol that provides active, non-custodial, concentrated liquidity management for Uniswap v3 and other decentralized exchanges.
The Gamma uses hypervisors, which are upgradable contracts that interact with AMMs. Hypervisors can be deployed for any pair, any fee tier, & on both Layer 1 & Layer 2 blockchains. Hypervisors mint fractional liquidity pool tokens similar to Uniswap V2, collect fees, and can experience impermanent loss.
This partnership ensures LandX has access to cutting-edge liquidity management which will improve capital efficiencies and reduce slippage for users trading xTokens. LandX is dedicated to bringing real-world assets on chain and making those assets liquid, stable and efficient for our users.
The liquidity pairs will initially include:
xBasket/USDC — xBasket is an index fund containing weighted amounts of the 4 xTokens
xWheat/USDC — xToken providing yield in cTokens convertible to USDC at the value of 1KG/Year
xSoy/USDC — xToken providing yield in cTokens convertible to USDC at the value of 1KG/Year
xRice/USDC — xToken providing yield in cTokens convertible to USDC at the value of 1KG/Year
xCorn/USDC — xToken providing yield in cTokens convertible to USDC at the value of 1KG/Year
LNDX/USDC — LNDX governance token providing maximum exposure to the growth of LandX
