Charm FinanceMedallion: A competition platform to increase LP yields
The problemMost liquidity providers (LPs) are not profitable. They lose over 20% a year to arbitrageurs, resulting in losses exceeding $500 million each year. The LP losses are known as loss-versus-rebalancing (LVR). Reducing LVR will recover the losses, and LPs will earn higher yields. LVR reduction is one of the most important unsolved problems in crypto. In a world with less LVR, on-chain liquidity will be substantially improved, and the user experience on DEXs can be at least as good as C...

The easiest way to provide and manage liquidity
Charm has landed on Katana to bring higher yields and deeper liquidity for LPs and token creators. A customized version of Charm is now supporting all components of the Katana flywheel.
Charm is the easiest way to provide and manage liquidity, and the only way to create fully permissionless LP vaults (‘Charm Vaults’). The vault automatically manages liquidity to earn higher yields for liquidity providers, and create deeper liquidity for any token on a DEX.
Charm created Alpha Vaults, a platform to create Charm Vaults; and Charm Simulator, a backtester to assess the performance of a vault. Charm built a customized version of Alpha Vaults to enhance the performance of the Katana flywheel.
The Katana flywheel is a self-reinforcing cycle of higher yields, deeper liquidity, and more DeFi activity within the Katana DeFi ecosystem. The components of the flywheel are Vault Bridge, AUSD, Chain-Owned Liquidity, and Core App Usage - they reinforce one another, resulting in sustainable yield generation that scales with usage and holds firm across market cycles.
Charm’s customized features target specific component(s) of the Katana flywheel. Like the flywheel itself, these features reinforce one another to amplify their impact as the flywheel scales. The key features are:
Earn all the swap fees
Anyone can create a Charm vault for any pair of tokens on a DEX, and earn all the swap fees generated by the vault. The fees can be used to increase revenue for the vault creator, provide more incentives for LPs, and create new veTokenomics, resulting in more DeFi activity on Katana.
Direct deposits
There will be no idle assets because all the vaults’ holdings will be deposited into a pool at all times. This approach maximizes both LP yields and the liquidity generated by each vault.
Customizable positions
All vaults will have three positions that can be customized by the vault manager to earn fees, mitigate impermanent loss (IL), and manage risk.
Permissioned Vaults
Anyone can use Charm to create permissioned vaults. They can whitelist depositors, create capped vaults, launch private strategies, and much more.
Customized backtesting
A backtesting framework was built to simulate the performance of any Charm Vault created on Katana.
Scalable liquidity creation
Anyone can create tokens(s) with deep liquidity in one transaction, and any token launchpad can use this feature to instantly boost the tokens’ trading volumes and LP yields.
Alpha Vaults and their forks have collectively managed over $300M in TVL since 2021 without any security incidents. The core contracts have undergone three audits, with the Katana-specific customization receiving an additional audit from Cantina.
