The Challenge
A top 50 DeFi protocol was struggling with fragmented liquidity and poor trading experience across major exchanges. Their token was listed on 8 exchanges, but trading was concentrated on just 2-3 venues, leading to:
- Wide spreads averaging 2.5% on secondary exchanges
- High slippage causing user complaints
- Inconsistent pricing across venues
- Arbitrage losses to sophisticated traders
The Problem
Users were experiencing 3-5% slippage on orders as small as $10,000. This was driving traders to competitors and hurting the protocol’s reputation.
Our Approach
We designed a comprehensive liquidity solution tailored to their specific needs:
