Anatomy of Concentrated Liquidity
Instead of spreading liquidity evenly across all possible prices, concentrated liquidity allocates liquidity within specific price ranges. This creates deeper liquidity around the current market price, where most of the trading activity takes place. As a result, traders benefit from tighter spreads and greater efficiency.
For Liquidity Providers (LPs), the model allows them to capture more trading fees by concentrating their capital in the ranges that matter most. That way funds are not wasted across inactive price zones, capital efficiency improves significantly, enabling LPs to earn higher returns with less deployed capital.
This mechanism functions like a leveraged LP position:
- Tighter ranges give LPs a larger share of fees.
- Narrower ranges also carry greater exposure to losses if prices move outside the band.
- Frequent rebalancing can unlock higher returns but incurs costs through gas and trading fees.
By creating multiple positions across different ranges, LPs can diversify risk while still benefiting from efficient capital allocation.
