A brief note on LPing with EulerSwap's new DeFi primitive: just-in-time liquidity (JIT).
Useful for people competing in the capture the flag competition this week.
Do you know how those crafty market makers make money anon? They hedge, duh.
A common way to hedge an LP position is to:
- Deposit USDC - Borrow WETH - LP USDC/WETH
The initial position is delta-neutral, since the WETH debt cancels with the WETH supplied to the LP. But as the price moves, the amount of WETH in the LP position goes up or down. So market makers also:
- Rebalance LP to match debt, or vice versa
Rebalancing frequently helps to ensure neutrality, but costs more in operational expense.
Rebalancing infrequently exposes you to directional exposure, but costs less in operational expense.
Rebalancing is pretty costly on Ethereum and that makes profitable market making much harder.
Furthermore, most of the liquidity supplied to DEXs is usually idle or underutilised, making everything most costly.
With EulerSwap, you can boost revenues from market making by using lending vaults to earn additional supply APY, and lower the costs of market making by using JIT.
An easier way to hedge an LP position on EulerSwap is to:
- Deposit USDC - Offer JIT liquidity on USDC/WETH
The initial position is delta-neutral, as above, because you have no debt and no WETH in the LP. But as the price moves, the amount of WETH collateral or debt in the LP goes up or down as before. So you:
- Rebalance LP to set WETH collateral and debt to zero
By using JIT you avoid taking out a large borrow and only borrow as much as you need to satisfy swaps just as the arrive.
In summary, you can use EulerSwap to increase rewards from LPing by earning additional lending yield and lower the capital costs and operational costs of LPing by using JIT.
We will be setting up a USDC/WETH JIT liquidity pool for the EulerSwap capture the flag competition starting later today. Stay tuned.

Abgesehen davon, dass es eine großartige Sicherheitsübung ist, macht es viel Spaß, die hellsten Köpfe in der Web3-Sicherheit einzuladen, um zu versuchen, Ihr Geld zu nehmen.
Stablecoin-Emittenten in meinen DMs, als sie realisieren, dass man 10 Millionen Dollar an traditioneller DEX-Liquidität in einen 100 Millionen Dollar tiefen Liquiditätspool auf EulerSwap mit einem branchenweit niedrigen Kapitalkosten umwandeln kann.
Euler is the friendliest protocol for borrowers and it isn’t even close.
Open and close positions with ease. Multiple sub accounts per wallet. Low fees. Industry defining low liquidation penalties. Customisations for RWAs and institutions.
