Liquidity Acquisition

Definition

Liquidity acquisition describes the process by which a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol or project seeks to attract and maintain sufficient capital within its smart contracts or liquidity pools. This is crucial for enabling efficient trading, lending, and borrowing of digital assets without significant price impact. Strategies often involve offering incentives, such as token rewards or yield farming opportunities, to users who provide assets to these pools. Adequate liquidity is fundamental for the functional operation of DeFi platforms.
