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...

Charm is integrating with Kodiak to bring easy-to-use liquidity management tools to Berachain, leveraging proof-of-liquidity as the core mechanism.
*This article was co-written by Charm and Kodiak.
Charm is the easiest way to provide and manage liquidity, and the only way to create fully permissionless LP vaults (‘Charm Vaults’). The vaults automatically manage liquidity to earn yields for liquidity providers, and to create deep 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. Here are some examples of the performances:
Charm will bring a customized version of Alpha Vaults to Berachain. This version will be integrated with Kodiak, and will inherit all the security credentials of Alpha Vaults. It will also contain new features to increase the yield of every vault, and the amount of BGT emissions vault depositors can earn using proof of liquidity. Here are further details of the integration:
Alpha Vaults will be natively integrated on Kodiak’s frontend, serving as a complementary solution to Kodiak Islands to enhance the liquidity and volumes on major pools.
Charm Vaults on Berachain will be specifically designed for Proof of Liquidity, and integrated with Kodiak's "autoBGT" - an opt-in mechanism to boost LP yields with BGT.
In the customized version for Berachain, all the vaults' holdings will be deployed into a Kodiak pool at all times, maximising the fees generated by the vault, and the BGT earned by every depositor.
Charm Vaults on Berachain will support deploying liquidity in an additional, fully customizable "wide range", to allow liquidity to be shaped more effectively.
Alpha Vaults will be integrated into Kodiak Islands in 3 phases:
Phase 1 (Today):
Integrating Alpha Vaults into a flagship BERA/USDCe pool. This pool will be deployed, incentivized, and managed by Kodiak and will be featured as a Charm Island on Kodiak’s front-end, in order to complement the existing "wide range" BERA/HONEY Kodiak Island.
Phase 2 (coming weeks):
Expanding the pool selections to a curated list of high volume pairs (e.g. iBGT-BERA) with native Integration on Kodiak, similar to Kodiak Islands.
Phase 3:
Empower any project or user to create permissionless vaults and strategies using Charm's platform.
Alpha Vaults and its forks have managed >$300M TVL in-production since 2021, with no security incidents. Kodiak Islands have managed >$1.5B TVL since Berachain launched.
Charm's Berachain deployment was separately audited by Cantina.
The "Charm Islands" whitelisted on Kodiak will be included in Kodiak's real-time security monitoring program with HyperNative.
Alpha Vaults serves as a natural complement to Kodiak Islands, and the partnership between Charm and Kodiak combines Charm’s expertise in on-chain liquidity management, and Kodiak’s experience in managing >$1.5B in TVL since Berachain’s launch. Both protocols will use Berachin’s POL mechanism to bring high yields to LPs, and deep liquidity for all tokens within the Kodiak ecosystem.
