Concentrated Liquidity Pools

Learn about the concept of concentrated liquidity pools

In traditional AMMs like Uniswap V2, liquidity is spread infinitely from 0 to ∞, diluting capital across every possible price point. Bronto's concentrated liquidity lets providers focus their assets within specific ranges—for example, $0.8-$1.2—creating deeper liquidity zones exactly where they're needed.

The Mathematical Edge: Quantifying Efficiency

Using the formula:

Efficiency = 1/(1 - (a/b)^(1/4))

where a and b are your price bounds, concentrated liquidity is approximately 6.5x more efficient than standard AMMs where liquidity is equally distributed across all prices.

To illustrate this dramatic difference:

  • A traditional AMM pool with $6.18M in TVL provides the same liquidity depth as just $950K in a concentrated liquidity pool ($6.18M/6.5 = $950K)
  • Conversely, if we deploy that full $6.18M in a concentrated range (e.g., $0.8-$0.1.2), it would provide liquidity equivalent to $40.17M in a traditional AMM

What This Means for Users

  1. Extreme Capital Efficiency: Deploy capital exactly where it's needed, maximizing return on investment
  2. Low Slippage, Better Pricing: Deeper liquidity at relevant price points reduces execution costs
  3. Higher LP Fees: Earn more rewards by optimizing position ranges

Concentrated Liquidity also allows to place limit orders, which are not possible in traditional AMMs.

Place Range Orders

Concentrated liquidity allows placing range orders—similar to limit orders in traditional finance but with additional benefits:

  • Take-Profit Orders: Provide a single asset in a pool above current price to sell when price increases
  • Buy Limit Orders: Provide a single asset in a pool below current price to buy when price decreases

Unlike traditional limit orders, range orders earn fees while they are in active price ranges.

Strategic Considerations

  • Tighter ranges approximate limit orders more closely but may earn fewer fees
  • Wider ranges capture more fees but increase the risk of partial fills if price reverses
