Liquidity Book V2.1 to Launch in Three Phases

Trading platform Trader Joe launched Liquidity Book V2.1 bringing automated pools with a promise of a gas fee reduction of 30-40%.  

Liquidity Book v2.1 will launch in three phases. The first phase will focus on launching V2.1 pools, Autopools, and Permissionless Pools. Phase two will see the launch of sJOE on Arbitrum and BNB, followed by phase three, which will see the launch of Autopool Farms and Limit Orders. Finally, V2 pools will migrate to V2.1 gradually. 

Lets take a closer look at the main components of Liquidity Book V2.1: 

Autopools

Autopools provides an automated way for Liquidity Book pools to execute liquidity strategies. Users who do not wish to manage liquidity positions themselves actively may choose to use an Autopool. 

Autopools let you deposit tokens and receive token receipts, which can be used for Yield Farms, collateralization, and leverage. 

As reported, Trader Joe is engaging with Arbitrum, Avalanche, and BNB partners to integrate Autopool token receipts for other DeFi applications.

sJOE

sJOE (a token given to users who supply JOE to the DEX in return for rewards) stakers will receive a percentage of fees accrued in Liquidity Book pools. Each chain will share fees exclusively, so sJOE on Arbitrum will share fees on Arbitrum, and sJOE on Avalanche will share fees on Avalanche. 

Permissionless Pools

By enabling permissionless pools, anyone can open Liquidity Book Pools with 100 bps discretization (0.8% base fee for trading). 

However, Permissionless Pools can only be paired with whitelisted assets: Avalanche (AVAX, USDC, BTC.b, and UTDT) and Arbitrum (ETH, USDC, USDT, and BTC.b). There may be additional discretization configurations added in the future.

Fees are no Longer Claimable

There will no longer be a way for users to claim their fees. Instead, all fees will be automatically claimed and compounded into the active bin the fees were accrued. 

The Maker Style Native Limit Order

Liquidity Book Market users will soon be able to execute swap instructions that buy or sell Tokens at desired price points. With this feature, users can deposit tokens into a Liquidity Book pool, and if the price is met, they can withdraw the liquidity. 

Paladin Security has audited the Liquidity Book V2.1 and Autopools. In addition, both the V2.1 code and Autopools will undergo an Audit Contest program with Immunefi.

Trader Joe contributed 15.7% to the total ARB trading volume in the first week following the launch of $ARB, according to the project's Twitter account. In terms of trading volume, Trader Joe ranks third among other protocols on Arbitrum. 

Further, the decentralized trading platform launched an Automated Market Maker (AMM) liquidity book on the BNB Chain last March. Trader Joe ($JOE) is trading at 0.6207, up 3.47% in 24 hours.
