Arrakis provided post-launch liquidity management for Rainbow's token ($RNBW) following Uniswap's first Continuous Combinatorial Auction (CCA). **Key improvements:** - ~4x lower slippage compared to default CCA liquidity - ~3x higher fee capture with same capital - Active liquidity concentration around trading price Default CCA liquidity deploys across full price range, leaving most capital far from actual trading activity. Arrakis Pro concentrates liquidity where trades occur, improving execution for $RNBW on Base. The partnership demonstrates how active liquidity management can enhance CCA launches beyond initial price discovery.
