Token

Implementations

• Built on: Cosmos

How it works

• From Figment (6-2021):

"Osmosis is a highly customizable AMM allowing for the creation of diverse liquidity pools, self-governing frameworks, and unique bonding curves. One of the most compelling aspects of Osmosis is its proposed reversed staking derivatives design."

Staking

• From their blog (28-2-2022):

"Superfluid staking allows Osmosis liquidity providers to stake the OSMO in their LP shares (GAMM). Because superfluid staking adds to the security of the chain, superfluid positions also earn staking rewards on top of the usual fees and liquidity mining incentives."

Roadmap

• Can be found [Insert link here].

Competition

• According to its docs, Osmosis aims to differentiate itself from other AMMs by offering customizable bonding curves suitable for different situations.
• From Bankless (25-3-2022):

"Osmosis is most similar to Balancer, in that it allows for the creation of highly customizable, multi-asset pools, but also incorporates elements from other AMMs while bringing unique features of its own to the table. For instance, each liquidity pool is “self-governing,” with liquidity providers having governance rights over its parameters. Like Curve, LPs must lock their tokens to participate in governance, with voting power, and boosted liquidity mining rewards, proportional to the length of the lock period."
