Cryptocurrency Exchange Maverick Protocol
Maverick gives liquidity providers something plain AMMs lack: directional control. A position can follow the price up, follow it down, or stay put, depending on the chosen mode. For someone expecting a particular market move, this is a way to keep capital where it works.
The flip side is that picking a mode is effectively a directional bet. A wrong call costs more. In a passive full-range pool capital keeps working, even if it earns less, while here the wrong mode takes the position out of play. The protocol runs on Ethereum, zkSync Era, BNB Chain and Base.
