Velodrome's Slipstream Fees See Rapid Growth
馃敟 Fees Soaring, Rewards Flowing
Velodrome's Slipstream concentrated liquidity pools have experienced a surge in fees due to increased trading volumes. The Slipstream model improves upon UniswapV3 by offering wider tick spacing, reducing the need for frequent rebalancing, and providing consistent VELO token rewards to liquidity providers. This incentivizes liquidity provision and helps maintain efficient trading during volatile market conditions. Velodrome complements the concentrated pools with full-range liquidity pools to ensure liquidity availability even during extreme price movements. The platform aims to offer a new paradigm for concentrated liquidity provision and trading with less rebalancing, predictable reward streams, and improved security.
