DLMM (Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker) is an advanced model of Automated Market Maker (AMM) designed to improve capital efficiency and trading experience in decentralized finance (DeFi).
🔹Definition:
Instead of spreading liquidity evenly across the entire price curve (like Uniswap v2), DLMM allows liquidity providers (LPs) to dynamically allocate liquidity into specific price ranges. These ranges can shift or adapt according to market conditions, making liquidity more concentrated and responsive.
🔹Applications:
- Powering decentralized exchanges (DEXs) with deeper liquidity.
- Enabling multi-chain trading with lower cost and higher execution quality.
- Providing LPs with more control and optimization of their deployed capital.
🔹Benefits:
- Higher capital efficiency: The same liquidity creates more depth in chosen ranges.
- Reduced slippage: Traders get better prices with less volatility impact.
- Adaptive strategies: Liquidity can “move” dynamically as markets shift.
- Closer to CEX experience: DLMM narrows the gap between DEX and centralized exchanges.
🔹Notable projects building with DLMM:
MeteoraAG (Solana), saros_xyz (Solana), @Kyber Network DMM, OKX DEX integrations.
👉In short: DLMM = the evolution of AMMs, combining DeFi’s openness with the efficiency of order-book style trading.
