What is a Bitcoin liquidity protocol in simple terms?

It's a system that pools Bitcoin and other assets from many providers, then uses that pool to fill trades efficiently. Think of it like a wholesale market that combines inventory from many sellers.

Is using a liquidity protocol safe?

Smart contract risks exist, as with any DeFi protocol. Audited protocols on established layer-2s offer reasonable safety. Main risks are smart contract bugs and impermanent loss for LPs.

How is Flashnet different from other liquidity protocols?

Flashnet is Bitcoin-native (no bridging), combines an AMM with an order book for better execution, and supports non-custodial trading.

Can I provide liquidity and earn fees?

Yes. Flashnet allows anyone to deposit assets into liquidity pools and earn a share of trading fees. Liquidity can be withdrawn at any time.

What is the risk of providing liquidity?

The main risk is impermanent loss — if the price ratio of pooled assets changes, you may end up with less value than if you'd held separately. Trading fee earnings can offset this in active pools.

What Is a Bitcoin Liquidity Protocol?

A Bitcoin liquidity protocol is a system that pools and routes trading liquidity across multiple sources — AMMs, order books, and liquidity providers — to deliver efficient trade execution for Bitcoin markets.

What Is Liquidity and Why Does It Matter?

Liquidity refers to how easily you can buy or sell an asset without significantly affecting its price. High liquidity means you can execute large trades with minimal slippage. Low liquidity means even small trades move the price.

For Bitcoin, liquidity has historically been fragmented across dozens of exchanges and chains. A large trade on one venue might get poor execution even while another venue has deep liquidity at a better price. Liquidity protocols solve this by aggregating depth from multiple sources.

How Bitcoin Liquidity Protocols Work

Bitcoin liquidity protocols use smart contracts to pool assets from multiple liquidity providers and route trades to the best available execution venue. They may combine AMM pools, order books, and cross-venue aggregation to find the optimal price.

The key components are: liquidity pools where providers deposit assets, a routing engine that finds the best execution path, and a settlement layer that ensures trades execute atomically.

Flashnet as a Liquidity Protocol

Flashnet functions as both a trading platform and a liquidity protocol for Bitcoin. It aggregates liquidity from its AMM pools and order book, routing each trade to the best execution venue automatically. Liquidity providers earn fees by depositing assets into Flashnet's pools.
