About Cetus Protocol

Cetus stands as a pioneering DEX and concentrated liquidity protocol operating on the Sui and Aptos blockchain. Its core mission is to establish a robust and adaptable liquidity network, simplifying trading for users across a wide range of assets. With a focus on delivering optimal trading experiences and enhancing liquidity efficiency in DeFi, Cetus is developing a concentrated liquidity protocol along with a series of interoperable functional modules. Here are the key principles guiding Cetus: Permissionless: Cetus operates on a permissionless standard, allowing users and applications to freely utilize its protocols for various use cases. Whether setting up new trading pools or allocating incentives for liquidity rental, users have unfettered access to Cetus's functionalities. Programmable: Leveraging the CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Market Making) protocol, Cetus is constructing a highly customizable liquidity framework. Users can execute complex trading strategies—including swap, range order, and limit order—resembling those found in centralized exchanges (CEX). Liquidity providers can also employ various Maker strategies to optimize liquidity efficiency. Composability: Cetus advocates for "Liquidity As A Service," prioritizing seamless integration for building products. Developers and applications can effortlessly tap into Cetus's liquidity to create their own offerings, such as liquidity vaults, derivatives, and leveraged farming. Additionally, new project teams can quickly establish swap interfaces on their frontend by integrating the Cetus SDK, enabling swift access to Cetus's liquidity and broader market. Sustainability: Employing a dual-token model powered by CETUS and xCETUS, Cetus ensures long-term and dynamic incentivization through protocol earnings. This approach aims to reward active participants effectively within the protocol, fostering a sustainable and equitable token economy.
