Liquidity Flywheel

Definition

A liquidity flywheel describes a self-reinforcing mechanism within a decentralized finance protocol where increased liquidity attracts more users, which in turn generates more fees, further attracting liquidity providers. This cycle creates a positive feedback loop, leading to deeper markets and improved price execution for traders. The growth in liquidity often reduces slippage and enhances the overall efficiency of the platform. Such a system aims to establish a sustainable and expanding financial ecosystem.
