Introduction to Cetus and How to Swap and add Liquidity on Cetus

November 25th, 2022

Cetus is a pioneer dex and liquidity protocol built on Aptos & Sui blockchain. It focuses on delivering better trading experience and upgraded capital efficiency to DeFi users through the process of building its concentrated liquidity protocol and a series of affiliate functional modules.

Capital efficiency is the first thing that Cetus can redefine for this ecosystem, which is powered by its concentrated liquidity algorithm. Both liquidity providers and traders can benefit from this. By concentrating liquidity in an active price range, LPs can earn transaction fees more efficiently. Traders can enjoy low-slippage trading around the spot price during their swaps. In addition, developers can easily build their own products and tip into the most efficient liquidity source of Cetus by integrating with its openly-accessible smart contracts and SDKs.
