With the cryptocurrency market growing up, Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are now more than just tools for decentralized exchanges. They’re increasingly being used to change how trading platforms work, blending smart, automated liquidity with traditional, centralized trading methods.
BitGW has been using a specific type of trading system, called a single-sided AMM, for several years, and has adapted as these systems have improved. Early AMMs, like those popularized by Uniswap, changed how crypto trading worked by making it easier to provide liquidity. However, newer AMMs are now concentrating on being not just efficient, but also more accessible, long-lasting, and fairer to everyone involved.
From Traditional AMMs to Single-Sided Liquidity
As a researcher in this space, I’ve been looking at the evolution of automated market makers. The first AMMs generally worked by requiring users to deposit two different tokens into a liquidity pool. While this was a breakthrough that enabled decentralized trading to really take off, it also came with some difficulties. Users had to deal with managing both tokens in a pair, constantly monitoring price changes for both, and understand the risk of impermanent loss – it wasn’t always a straightforward experience.
As an analyst, I’ve been looking at single-sided AMMs, and what stands out is their simplicity. Unlike traditional AMMs that need two tokens to operate, these allow users to provide liquidity with just one asset. This makes it much easier for people to earn returns on their holdings without getting bogged down in the complexities of managing a two-token pool.
BitGW’s long-running implementation of this model shows how the concept can extend beyond purely decentralized environments.
A Hybrid Model Rather Than a Replacement
Rather than positioning AMMs and order books as competing systems, the market is increasingly moving toward hybrid designs. In this structure, AMM logic contributes to pricing and liquidity formation, while centralized infrastructure provides execution depth, speed, and stability.
BitGW is designed with this trend in mind. It uses a streamlined, one-sided AMM system, but also benefits from the robust infrastructure and features typically found on centralized exchanges, making it easy for users to provide liquidity.
This simplifies providing liquidity, especially for users who want to participate but find traditional methods with two tokens too complicated.
Where the Model Becomes More Meaningful
This system is special because it doesn’t just allow trading; it also helps generate revenue and rewards users.
BitGW generates revenue in several ways, including fees from instant trades, swap deals, and automated market making. It also earns money through things like the difference between buying and selling prices, and by efficiently using its assets. All of these revenue streams depend on how much trading happens on the platform and are typical for cryptocurrency exchanges.
In this system, how much liquidity providers (LPs) earn is directly tied to how active the platform is. As more trading happens and more liquidity is used, LPs profit from the transactions they help facilitate.
The connection between how often something is traded and how much liquidity is available shows a system designed for stability and lasting success.
Profit Sharing as a Cooperative Mechanism
A key feature of single-sided AMMs is the way they link how much the platform is used to the rewards users receive.
When people add liquidity, they help build the foundation that makes trading possible. As more trading happens, these liquidity providers (LPs) earn a share of the value created. This means providing liquidity becomes more than just a technical task – it’s an active way to participate in and benefit from the platform’s overall economic activity.
This type of setup is gaining importance as customers now focus not just on returns, but also on *how* those returns are made and if the process can continue long-term.
BitGW operates on a principle of mutual growth, where the platform and those who provide funds both benefit as the system expands. It’s about working together, not just taking value out.
Why Single-Sided AMMs May Matter More Going Forward
With cryptocurrency technology becoming more advanced, we’re seeing a shift beyond the first types of automated market makers (AMMs). Now, the focus isn’t just on *if* AMMs can function, but on identifying the models that will help more people start using them.
Designs that use just one digital asset are becoming popular because they’re easier to use, encourage more people to join in, and work well with both traditional and new online systems. For platforms aiming to grow and be user-friendly, this single-asset approach might be a better choice than systems that rely on two different digital assets.
BitGW’s long-term use of a specific type of trading system indicates a potential future where centralized and decentralized finance aren’t competing forces. Instead, the most effective solutions may combine the strengths of both to create systems that are more efficient, easier to use, and better serve the needs of everyone involved.
