Welcome to the innovative world of Concordex, a trailblazer in the realm of decentralised finance (DeFi). Built on the Concordium blockchain and aligning with the CIS2 standard, Concordex distinguishes itself by pushing the limits of what’s achievable in decentralised trading. Our platform is dedicated to optimising profits for liquidity providers and minimising fees for traders. The pillars of this mission are our two core features: Concentrated Liquidity and Multiple Fee Levels.

In this comprehensive guide, we delve into these cutting-edge features, exploring their functionalities and the unique advantages they offer, setting Concordex apart in the digital trading sphere.

Concentrated Liquidity: Maximising Profit and Precision

Concordex’s Concentrated Liquidity offers a strategic advantage in DeFi trading by allowing liquidity providers (LPs) to concentrate their resources within targeted price ranges. This approach optimises capital efficiency in two key scenarios:

  • Stablecoin Pairs. For pairs like USDT/USDC, which typically see minimal price fluctuation, LPs can focus their liquidity in a very narrow price range (e.g., $0.995 to $1.001). This targeted placement ensures liquidity is utilised effectively, maximising fee accumulation.
  • Volatile Pairs. For pairs with higher volatility, such as BTC/USDT, LPs can adjust their liquidity to a broader range that aligns with expected price movements. For instance, if BTC/USDT is anticipated to move between $38,000 and $39,500, setting a range just outside these values (e.g., $37,900 to $39,600) can capture more fees than a traditional full-range pool.

Innovations in Concordex’s system include:

  • Price Ticks. The liquidity range is divided into logarithmically equidistant ‘price ticks’, optimising swap efficiency.
  • Single-Sided Positions. If market prices move outside an LP’s set range, the liquidity position temporarily becomes inactive, halting fee earnings. Reactivation occurs once prices re-enter the specified range.

Multiple Fee Levels: Harmonising LP and Trader Interests

Concordex introduces a revolutionary Multiple Fee Levels system, enhancing the trading experience for both liquidity providers and traders. This feature provides:

  1. Diverse Fee Options. LPs can select from eight different fee levels, ranging from 0.01% to 1.28%, to open liquidity positions. This range allows LPs to tailor their strategies according to their risk tolerance and market forecast.
  2. Dynamic Swap Optimisation. During a swap, Concordex’s system methodically scans through these fee levels, starting from the lowest. This ensures traders consistently obtain the most advantageous prices.
  3. Engagement of Multiple Levels. The system smartly shifts to higher fee levels as needed during a swap, effectively balancing the interests of LPs and traders. LPs benefit from competitive fees, while traders enjoy favorable swap prices.

Guardians: Safeguarding Concordex’s Ecosystem

To ensure the utmost security and stability, Concordex has implemented the ‘Guardians’ system, a robust security framework that includes:

  • Monitoring and Safeguards. Guardians are responsible for overseeing the platform’s performance and have the authority to suspend and resume payable API in response to critical issues.
  • Multiple Layers of Protection. The system comprises an owner account and additional guard accounts, providing layered security.
  • Proactive Risk Mitigation. In case of performance issues or malicious activities, Guardians can temporarily suspend smart contract operations to prevent further damage and facilitate timely solutions.
