The liquidity module serves AMM (Automated Market Makers) style decentralized liquidity providing and coin swap functions.
The module enables users to create a liquidity pool, make deposits and withdrawals, and request coin swaps from the liquidity pool.
This module will be used in the Cosmos Hub, and it can be used in any other Cosmos SDK based blockchain projects.
- The Cosmos Hub AMM should have strong philosophy of inclusiveness of users from different blockchains because its prime utility is inter-blockchain communication.
- To possess such characteristics, the liquidity module should provide most convenient ways for external users to come in and use the services provided by the Cosmos Hub.
- The liquidity module should not anticipate specific assets, such as Atom, into the process of user-flow in a forced manner. It is repeatedly proved that unnatural anticipation of native coin at unavoidable parts of process resulting in poor user attraction.
Combination of traditional orderbook-based model and new AMM model
- Although new AMM model has multiple advantages over orderbook-based model, combination of both models will create more enriched utilities for wider potential users.
- This module redefines the concept of a “swap order” in AMM as a “limit order with short lifetime” in an orderbook-based exchange. Then, two concepts from two different models can be combined as one united model so that the function can provide both ways to participate into the trading and liquidity providing activities.
- Although our first version of the liquidity module will not provide limit order option, but the base structure of the codebase is already anticipating such feature expansion in the near future.
- Advantages of combined model
- More freedom on how to provide liquidity : Limit orders
- Combination of pool liquidity and limit order liquidity provides users more enriched trading environment

to test this.
