Ekubo: The AMM Endgame

Ekubo is a next-generation Automated Market Maker (AMM) built natively on Starknet by a core architect of Uniswap v3 and v4. It aims to solve persistent inefficiencies in decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as poor token value capture, high gas costs, and limited composability.

Key Innovations

Ultra-Concentrated Liquidity: Enables unmatched capital efficiency by allowing liquidity to be deployed within extremely narrow price ranges.
Gas-Optimized Execution: Designed specifically for Starknet, Ekubo minimizes transaction costs for traders and liquidity providers.
Permissionless Extensions: Developers can build custom DeFi primitives directly on top of Ekubo’s core protocol, fostering innovation and composability.
Aligned Tokenomics: Unlike many DEXs, Ekubo’s design ensures that protocol usage translates into tangible value for token holders.

Why It Matters?

Ekubo positions itself as the foundational liquidity layer for all trading on Starknet. Its architecture allows developers to launch virtually any DeFi application directly atop its efficient AMM core - be it lending, derivatives or oracles. By avoiding venture capital and focusing on product excellence, Ekubo represents a useful and powerful model in evolution of the DeFi infrastructure.
