Izumi Finance – a change to defi

Introduction

Based on Uniswap V3 Multi chain, Izumi Finance is programmable liquidity platform. The LiquidBox liquidity mining platform provides Uniswap V3 LP token staking rewards non-homogeneously in different price ranges, which could improve the efficiency of incentive distribution for reward providers and enhance the earnings of liquidity providers in Uniswap V3.

The platform will extend liquidity service to multi-chains with built-in DEX and bridge in the future.

Key Features

  • Farming safely on Uniswap
  • Accessible
  • High APR to earn

The izumi’s LiquidBox enhances incentive efficiency and enables protocols to distribute incentive rewards in certain price ranges. Liquidity providers could earn more trading fees with capital efficiency and get additional incentives provided by related protocols.

They define Pool 2 dilemma meaning high APR liquidity mining incentives in pool 2 usually brings high inflation rate and sell pressure. The team wants to solve that by providing structured-incentive and auto-rebased modules, which could attract more liquidity with low emission rate for protocols while enabling non-impermanent loss liquidity mining for liquidity providers.

LiquidBox

  • A liquidity mining scheme based on Uniswap V3 NFT LP tokens.
  • The liquidity mining incentive plan in LiquidBox, the protocol can clearly set the value range of the incentivized LP tokens.
  • The box will automatically determine whether the value range of the LP tokens is within the liquidity incentive value range set by the project owner. If it is within the range, the LiquidBox will issue a liquidity mining token reward for the liquidity provider based on the incentive program.

Uniswap V3 NFT

  • Provide liquidity within certain price range.
  • LPs receive NFTs after adding liquidity, and due to the non-fungible nature of the positions, fee earnings are stored separately and held as tokens in which the fees are paid.

izumi C-AMM Bridge

Cross-chain liquidity-swap: reserve pool of tokens on each side. The user experience will be like sending USDC to the reserve pool on ChainA and receiving USDC from the reserve pool of ChainB a while later. It shall be noted that the transferred USDC is officially issued token instead of bridge wrapped token.

Multi-validator Relay Network: Multi validators on the Relay Network read the data in each block. When they find transactions associated with the reserve pool on any side of the bridge, they will vote and get to consensus, then send the multisig transaction to the other side

Concentrated-liquidity AMM: Compared with fixed exchange rate bridges which encounter empty pools occasionally, AMM bridge auto adjusts exchange rate and utilizes arbitrageurs and market power to finish the auto-rebalance between two reserve pools. And concentrated liquidity AMM is expertise at capital efficiency which is the crucial factor when liquidity is segmented into different chains.
