## Description

AMMs and their LPs are a new financial primitive. On the market structure side, a lot of comparisons can be drawn between AMMs and more traditional forms like CLOBs and RFQs. On the liquidity provider side, many innovative forms of liquidity provision has emerged, such as automated liquidity managers, or even more advanced types such as JIT (just-in-time) liquidity. It's an intersection of traditional finance, information security, game theory, and more. We are working on a project to dive deeper into aforementioned innovations, and think hard about the implications for protocol development, smart contract engineering, and market structure design. Our collaborators include professors from universities like Harvard, Columbia, UC Berkeley and UChicago.
