supplying liquidity to exchanges hasn't always been straightforward
market makers (traders who provide liquidity) balance two main worries: holding too much or too little of an asset and quoting the right buy/sell prices
@elixir
tackles these issues head-on 🧵
DeFi needs rapid transaction processing and the handling of large data sets.
@elixir
tackles these challenges with its DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus, for faster transaction speed and superior scalability.
cultic thread 🧵⬇️
centralized exchanges dominate the market with deep liquidity and user-friendly interfaces
but this centralization comes with risks like security breaches, lack of transparency and potential manipulation

Guys can you please not spam the chat. My mom bought me this new laptop and it gets really hot when the chat is being spammed. Now my leg is starting to hurt because it is getting so hot. Please, if you don't want me to get burned, then dont spam the chat.
in the world of DeFi (not to be mixed with deranged fiction), delta-neutral strategies have emerged as a way to generate yield with reduced risk
let's cultly explore how this works with stablecoins 🧵👇
hey dude, listen up, I know it's the 4th but I'm telling you, it's elixir, man. the decentralized liquidity game-changer with a funny name. gonna be the next big thing. seriously fucking awesome, so uh, yea, let's get in on this shit.
Top Elixir community members just received potions ⚗️
Ritual and Spell Round 1 winners, as well as select active community members, can now view their earned Potions on the Apothecary:

using this model, Elixir deploys liquidity on both sides of the orderbook and prevents the maker from having a large imbalance if the asset’s price shifts in one direction
with this, Elixir creates a new primitive, allowing anyone to easily supply liquidity to the orderbook
basic market making sets buy and sell orders at equal distances from the market price
this works well when prices are stable but can mess up your inventory (asset quantity) when prices move a lot
reward incentives are distributed based on each cult participant's (aka non-cult member's) stake and engagement level, ensuring that everyone's interests align with the network's overall health and efficiency.

this creates a fairer, more equitable ecosystem for all participants and makes it easier for any DEX to compete with centralized dominance
avellaneda & stoikov calculated a formula to find the best reserve (base) price and spread
think of it like uniswap v2's x*y=k formula but for orderbooks
the above formula helps the network determine how far the current inventory is from the target
based on this, it adjusts bids (buy) and asks (sell) (with bids closer to the market price and asks farther away, or the other way around)
supporting the incentive system
the network uses DPoS to establish a robust incentive structure within the ecosystem, where stakeholders are encouraged to participate actively and contribute to the network.

How I became a cult member and how I got out
I became a cult member in 2017 when I met Craig Wight in person and truly believed he was Satoshi Nakamoto.
I was convinced he was Satoshi because Gavin Andresen, Jon Matonis and Ian Grigg, people I respected, had claimed to verify
DPoS for security
delegates are chosen based on their reliability and expertise in Elixir, so only the most dedicated and proficient cult nodes oversee the network.
the top validators reduce risks and ensure the network's integrity and operation.

@elixir
aims to power the majority of all liquidity, making it the backbone of DeFi
with modular infrastructure for plug-in integrations, elixir seamlessly enhances DEX liquidity and ensures that the market value is redirected back to users
on the flip side, decentralized exchanges offer a trustless, permissionless alternative. they empower users with control over their assets but often struggle with liquidity and higher slippage
data shows that DEXs still capture a smaller share of the market compared to CEXs spot trade volume
however, this is steadily increasing as more users seek decentralized solutions

elxETH is a native yield-generating token, collateralized 1:1 by ETH.
after mainnet launch, elxETH will serve as an omnichain LP token to enhance orderbook liquidity on leading exchanges supported by Elixir, including Vertex, dYdX, rabbitX, and others.
what is Delta-Neutral?
Delta: It's like a mood ring for your assets, showing how they react to market swings
go delta-neutral, and your portfolio basically shrugs off the drama
screw TradFi and their middlemen fees!
delta-neutral on the blockchain means radical transparency and pure yield farming
It's your money, your rules, and your gains
funding rates: your organic yield source
perpetual futures contracts never expire, so funding rates keep their prices aligned with the underlying asset
- positive funding rate? longs pay shorts
- negative funding rate? shorts pay longs
this is where the yield party starts
spot a price difference between the perp and the asset? Boom, opportunity
- perp too high? short it, long the asset
- perp too low? do the opposite
prices eventually kiss and make up, and you pocket the funding rate difference
are you with me so far?

's orderbooks will be turbocharged by Elixir’s network. Supply liquidity to their pairs and earn RBX rewards
potions can be tracked in the Elixir apothecary page at .
running a validator and trading on native exchanges are alternative methods of earning potions. active validators have been monitored during both testnet v1 and v2.
