Great thread from @FabiusMercurius on the risks of providing liquidity in an AMM (automated market maker) system. DerivaDEX's central-limit order book means market-makers can concentrate liquidity where it's most needed. Less risk for market makers, better liquidity for traders.
@FabiusMercurius

TLDR: Yield farming on an AMM doesn't actually pay a "yield." It pays an options premium resembling somewhere between a covered call strategy and a short straddle strategy. It's not passive income. It's not guaranteed profit. Know your risks before you trade.

Perpetual swaps are by far the most widely traded instrument in crypto. While they're in the early days in DeFi, there exists a huge discrepancy in valuations between spot/derivative exchanges Have to imagine this gap will narrow if not flippen in the coming future🔁
