A Tick-by-Tick Solution for Concentrated Liquidity Provisioning

Abstract

Automated market makers with concentrated liquidity capabilities are programmable at the tick level. The maximization of earned fees, plus depreciated reserves, is a convex optimization problem whose vector solution gives the best provision of liquidity at each tick under a given set of parameter estimates for swap volume and price volatility. Surprisingly, early results show that concentrating liquidity around the current price is usually not the best strategy.
