Hummingbot vs Uniswap: two approaches to liquidity
How do they compare?
Blog » Launching Ava Labs’s Avalanche liquidity mining campaign
We are thrilled to announce a new 6-month liquidity mining campaign for Ava Labs’s Avalanche platform that will start on December 8, 2020, 12:00 am UTC. The Avalanche liquidity mining campaign will initially be distributing USDT rewards and will transition to the AVAX token.
In this post, we are going to introduce Avalanche to the Hummingbot community and give both the Hummingbot and Avalanche communities an overview of the upcoming campaign.
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching decentralized finance applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in one interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem. It is the first smart contracts platform that confirms transactions in under one second, supports the entirety of the Ethereum development toolkit, and enables millions of independent validators to participate as full block producers.
Led by Professor Emin Gün Sirer, creator of the first coin minted through proof-of-work in 2003, and supported by pioneering researchers from Cornell University, Avalanche is built on the third major breakthrough in distributed systems, and first since the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2008.
AVAX is the native token of Avalanche. It is a hard-capped, scarce asset that is used to pay for fees, secure the network through staking, and provide a basic unit of account between the multiple subnetworks created on the Avalanche platform.
Since launching mainnet on September 21, Avalanche has over 630 full, block-producing validators participating in-network consensus, and an additional 2,500 delegators participating in staking. Collectively, they account for over $1B in AVAX staked to secure the network.
Avalanche is backed by leading investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Initialized Capital, Galaxy Digital, Polychain Capital, Bitmain, Naval Ravikant, and Balaji Srinivasan (former CTO of Coinbase), and raised $42M in just 4.5 hrs in a public sale this July.
Liquidity mining is a decentralized approach to liquidity provision, allowing anyone to participate in the market making activities previously only possible for institutional traders and hedge funds. Equipped with Hummingbot, the open-source crypto trading software, participants will be able to surpass the technical barrier, make markets, and get rewards. The rewards are calculated based on a data-driven, objective methodology that aligns the risk participants take with the reward they will get.
The Avalanche liquidity mining campaign rewards participants for placing maker orders in four eligible AVAX token pairs to increase their order book depth, a key determinant of liquidity. With a reward pool of USD 36,000, this campaign will appeal to both existing AVAX token holders in the Avalanche community and active crypto traders in the Hummingbot community.
