Liquidity Provision Payoff on Automated Market Makers

Abstract

The standard approach for compensating liquidity providers on many decentralized exchanges (DEX) for serving as counter-party to swaps is through charging a small percentage of fees. The expected payoff from the cash flow of this mode of market making has yet to be mathematically formulated in terms of volatility in the existing literature. We provide here a preliminary derivation of the payoff formula, by making the standard set of assumptions for efficient markets, namely geometric Brownian price movements and zero arbitrage. Trading volume, conventionally taken as an exogenous variable for fees calculation, becomes a function of volatility and available liquidity in this formulation. In doing so, we show that it is a near-linear function of the volatility of the underlying risky asset. Since hedging instruments with such a property are highly sought after, we discuss the potential of securitizing the cash flow of liquidity fees to serve as a volatility product in its own right.
