Overall, this design is reminiscent of a DeFi twist on the “delegated Proof of Stake” mechanism that’s used to secure blockchain networks. By opening up pools to public participation this way, FLUID’s own TVL can scale independently of the number of exchanges signed up to the network, and at a rapid pace. These extra liquidity reserves, when combined with operational data and the experience accumulated on FLUID’s platform, set foundations that will support a wide range of flexible, targeted liquidity innovations. They also enable FLUID to engineer liquidity integration services between decentralized exchanges, in the future.
