How do CLOBs compare to Uniswap v3 and v4?

  • The AMM v3 and v4 models are iterations to the original AMM model that addresses the issues of slippage and capital efficiency issues in the traditional AMM model. V3 allowed LPs to choose specific price ranges within which their assets could be used and introduced multiple fee tiers to better accommodate different risk levels and trading volumes and V4 will allow for greater customisation, more efficient transaction routing and reduce gas costs

  • AMMs are ideal for trading assets with lower liquidity as it allows for flexible price discovery. However, CLOBS are still superior in terms of being able to trade at very specific price points. As liquidity on the order book is made up of buy and sell limit orders, the price is concentrated around certain ranges, meaning narrower spreads. This is ideal for fat-tail assets
