Why Ditto Isn't Just Another AMM

Ditto is an innovative liquidity protocol that unlocks efficient markets for niche, long-tail assets that have historically lacked proper financial infrastructure.

It achieves this by merging the simplicity of automated market makers with the pricing sophistication of customizable machine learning models.

How Ditto Expands Possibilities for Long-Tail Assets

AMMs have made providing liquidity simple and passive by using basic on-chain pricing logic. But this logic often fails to adequately trade non-fungible, hard-to-price assets.

Ditto expands the potential of AMMs for NFTs and other exotic assets. It allows fluid integration of customizable off-chain pricing models, from simple curves to advanced ML algorithms.

In doing so, Ditto helps make previously untradable pricing strategies liquid and actionable. As a model creator, you can instantly capture value from your unique insights by building a pool powered by your proprietary models.

Or as a liquidity provider, you gain simple passive exposure by supplying funds into other creators' pools and models. For the first time, you can tap into the advantages of AMMs - like easy, passive liquidity provision - even for the most exotic, long-tail assets that other AMMs don't properly optimize for.

Overall, Ditto dramatically simplifies market making for overlooked assets in the "long tail." It merges the scalable infrastructure of AMMs with the pricing intelligence of ML to bring liquidity to overlooked niches. This expands composability between previously illiquid markets and the growing DeFi ecosystem.

Monetizing Model Insights on Ditto

For model creators, the process of monetizing your insights is straightforward:

  • Step 1: Structure your model's price feed data to be compatible with Upshot, a flexible price oracle purpose-built for long-tail assets. Upshot provides an easy and inexpensive way to surface your model's outputs on-chain for integration.

  • Step 2: Create a customized pool on Ditto that points to your model's price feed on Upshot. Your pool will automatically leverage your model's specialized prices to enable liquidity provisioning and trading tailored to your target assets.

  • Step 3: Attract liquidity providers to supply funds into your pool. The more liquidity your pool accumulates, the higher its potential trading volumes. And the more volume, the more fees you earn from trades executed using your model's intelligence.

In just these simple steps, Ditto turns any insightful pricing model into a fully automated liquidity protocol. No need for the expensive overhead required to build an entire business around your model. Instead, focus purely on honing your models themselves and let Ditto take care of the rest. It unlocks straightforward monetization of your insights through the wisdom of markets.

Passive Exposure for Liquidity Providers

For liquidity providers, supplying funds to Ditto pools powered by strong models is an easy way to get passive exposure to exotic markets you believe in.

Sit back and collect trading fees generated by other users interacting with sophisticated pricing tailored to each niche.

By seamlessly connecting advanced pricing models with liquidity infrastructure, Ditto unlocks value for creators and markets alike. It expands possibilities for participants across the ecosystem.
