A breakdown of how gradient creates value for every participant
Gradient, powered by CORE, creates a smarter, fairer, and more efficient trading environment. Traders, liquidity providers and token developers alike benefit from greater control, capital efficiency, and scale when leveraging Gradient.
On-Chain Traders
Traders using Gradient leverage user-defined trade parameters & price-impact-free trading, no longer needing to rely on the fragmented, shallow liquidity of AMM-powered decentralized exchanges.
Traders benefit from the following when executing trades via Gradient:
Price-Impact-Free Trades
Trades are executed at the exact agreed-upon price—no price-impact from AMM curve mechanics and thin liquidity pools is incurred.
Dynamic Order Control
Traders set their own price ceilings or floors, time-to-live (expiration windows), and maximum order sizes— retaining full control over execution terms.
MEV-free trades
No front-running or MEV risk is possible—orders are matched off-chain and executed automatically, ensuring trades remain uninhibited by MEV bots.
Liquidity
Traders gain access to deeper liquidity through market makers and bulk P2P matches.
RESULT
All parties maximize returns, gain pricing certainty, and avoid the pitfalls of traditional DEXs—promoting more efficient, capital-preserving execution.
Market Makers
Market makers earn from Gradient's deliberate spread by efficiently fulfilling both buy-side & sell-side orders.
Market Makers benefit from the following when providing liquidity to pools on the Gradient platform:
No Impermanent Loss
Gradient MMs incur no risk of impermanent loss—LP positions remain unexposed to volatile AMM re-pricing and token divergence.
Spread Capture
MMs earn from a consistent, fixed spread between buy and sell orders, defined as 0.25-1.5% each way by the Gradient platform.
Flexible & Efficient Provision
Capital is deployed only when trades occur—no capital is subjected to idle exposure or rebalancing cycles.
Priority Execution
MMs receive first priority in order execution and spread capture.
RESULT
MMs earn consistent yield from real order flow, without exposure to volatility or impermanent loss.
Token projects benefit from the following when leveraging Gradient:
Sustainable Market Pricing
Off-market execution mitigates unwanted volatility, ensuring that large inflows or outflows do not destabilize a token’s price behaviour.
Whale-Accessible
Gradient provides a direct gateway for institutional participants and high-net-worth investors to engage with DeFi tokens without the limitations of fragmented DEX liquidity.
Deeper Liquidity
Token projects may leverage market maker participation, providing deep, reliable liquidity without relying on inflationary yield strategies or short-term incentives.
RESULT
Off-market trading results in a more resilient market presence and increased capital inflow for DeFi tokens.
