Platypus Description

Liquidity fragmentation is a major problem in the first-generation stableswaps' closed liquidity pools. This means that the liquidity of different pools can't be shared with each other, leading to higher slippage. Other stableswaps require multiple tokens of equal worth within a pool. This can often lead to pool compositions that are more complicated (pairing up LP coins with new tokens). This significantly reduces the protocol's scalability and creates a poor user experience. Platypus creates a new AMM on Avalanche that is open liquidity and single-sided. It manages risk autonomously using the coverage ratio to maximize capital efficiency. Platypus' design is based on asset liability management (ALM). Platypus is unique in that it uses a single-variant slippage function and not invariant curves. Our open liquidity pool design allows for higher capital efficiency and lower slippage rates than other stableswaps.
