Lifinity: Solana/s Proactive Market Maker for LPs

Lifinity is Solana/s first oracle-powered Automated Market Maker (AMM) designed to maximize capital efficiency and significantly reduce impermanent loss through concentrated, lazy liquidity and oracle-driven rebalancing.

🔍 Why Choose Lifinity for Liquidity Provision?​

  • Oracle-Based Pricing: Uses Pyth oracles instead of relying on on-chain arbitrage, offering timely, manipulation-resistant pricing-helping protect LPs from loss.
  • Concentrated, Lazy Liquidity: Automatically focuses LP capital around active price ranges and minimizes the need for constant rebalancing.
  • Proactive Rebalancing: Delays trades in a way that captures market-making profits and refills liquidity-offsetting impermanent loss with fee gains.
  • Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL): Lifinity holds much of its own liquidity, capturing a higher share of fees before redistributing back to users.

🧱 How to Provide Liquidity on Lifinity​

  1. Select a Pool
    Common pairs include SOL/USDC, ETH/USDC, BTC/USDC, and stable or token-native combinations like LFNTY/USDC.

  2. Connect Your Solana Wallet
    Supported wallets include Phantom, Solflare, and Trust Wallet.

  3. Deposit Liquidity
    Choose a price range (optional); otherwise, lifinity uses its lazy algorithm to handle positioning.

  4. Receive LP Tokens
    Hands-free LP-you earn fees automatically as swaps occur within your range.

  5. (Optional) Stake LFNTY or VeLFNTY
    Participate in governance or earn protocol revenue share with token staking.

💰 How You Earn on Lifinity​

  • Swap Fees: Earned when traders interact with your pool-which lifinity concentrates around your pricing tier.
  • Market-Making Profits: As the system rebalance, LPs may profit while IL is reduced.
  • Token Revenue Sharing: LFNTY holders receive a portion of protocol yields bought via Flares & protocol-owned liquidity.

⚠️ Key Risks & Trade-Offs​

  1. Smart Contract Risk
    The system is innovative but relatively new; no public audits noted.
  2. Opacity of Oracle-Based Strategies
    Less manual control may concern users who prefer full transparency over price setting.
  3. Low TVL Pools
    Smaller pools can suffer from less volume, which could reduce yield potential.
  4. Concentration Risk
    Automatic rebalancing won't help if the price drifts far outside your assumed range.

🧪 Strategy Example: SOL/USDC on Lifinity​

  • Pool Type: Concentrated, lazy LP with SOL/USDC

  • Approach:

    1. Deposit both tokens; Lifinity auto-focuses liquidity
    2. Fees captured via swap activity + rebalancing
    3. Potentially stake LFNTY to gain proportional protocol revenue

  • Why it works:

    • SOL/USDC has high volume
    • Oracle-driven pricing minimizes slippage
    • Protocol-owned liquidity boosts yield capture
