On Liquidity Mining for Uniswap v3 (2108.05800v1)

Abstract: The recently proposed Uniswap v3 replaces the fungible liquidity provider token (LP token) into non-fungible ones, making the design for liquidity mining more difficult. In this paper, we propose a flexible liquidity mining scheme that realizes the overall liquidity distribution through the fine control of local rewards. From the liquidity provider's point of view, the liquidity provision strategy forms a multiplayer zero-sum game. We analyze the Nash Equilibrium and the corresponding strategy, approximately, deploying the liquidity proportional to the reward distribution, in some special cases and use it to guide the general situations. Based on the strategic response above, such a scheme allows the mining rewards provider to optimize the distribution of liquidity for the purpose such as low slippage and price stabilization.
