Liquidity Provision Model

Definition ∞ A Liquidity Provision Model is the operational framework defining how assets are supplied to a market to facilitate trading and maintain price stability. This model outlines the incentives, risks, and mechanisms by which market makers or automated systems contribute capital. It ensures efficient asset exchange. Such models are fundamental to market functionality.
Context ∞ In decentralized finance, various liquidity provision models, such as automated market makers (AMMs) or order book systems, are continuously iterated upon. News reports often compare the efficiency and capital requirements of different models, assessing their impact on trading fees, slippage, and overall market depth within the DeFi ecosystem. These models are central to DeFi’s operational effectiveness.
