Clipper is a specialized decentralized exchange (DEX) built by Shipyard Software. It offers low transaction costs for trades under $50k and protects traders from being front-run by large traders (whales) and bots. Clipper is available on several blockchain networks like Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum.
Description
Here's how it works:
-
Low Transaction Costs: Clipper's main appeal is its low transaction fees for smaller trades, making it ideal for regular traders.
-
Protection Against Front Running: The platform is designed to prevent large traders and bots from unfairly manipulating prices (front running).
-
Key Innovations:
- Core Pools: Focused on stable or similar-value assets, these pools offer low slippage, meaning less price change when trading. This is great for trading stable assets efficiently.
- Coves: These are customizable pools for non-stable assets. Liquidity providers can set their preferred price ranges, giving them more control and potentially higher returns.
- Efficient Liquidity: Concentrated liquidity allows liquidity providers to target their funds within specific price ranges, leading to better use of capital.
- Returns for Liquidity Providers: They earn from trading fees and incentives, with the platform's design ensuring maximized returns.
In summary, Clipper provides a user-friendly and cost-effective platform for both traders and liquidity providers, supporting various asset types and trading preferences. It's especially advantageous for smaller traders and those looking to provide liquidity efficiently.
