What is the OpenWorld Finance?

OpenWorld is a non-custodial, automated protocol designed to optimize liquidity pool investments through active management and diversification, aiming to optimize returns for liquidity provider positions.

What is a liquidity Pool?

A liquidity pool is a crowdsourced pool of cryptocurrencies or tokens inside a smart contract that is used to facilitate trades between the assets on a decentralized exchange (DEX). Instead of traditional markets of buyers and sellers, many decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms use automated market makers (AMMs), which allow digital assets to be traded in an automatic and permissionless manner through the use of liquidity pools

Traditionally, the AMM enters the liquidity pool by depositing 2 currencies of the same dollar amount allowing others to use the liquidity provided to exchange among the supplied currency pair(s).

What makes OpenWorld special?

Unlike investing directly into liquidity pools, with OpenWorld Portfolios, you can invest using one token, like USDT, and it will automatically diversify you into the various liquidity pools

How do liquidity pools generate income for the investor?

Trading fees are generated when users use decentralized exchanges to trade tokens. The fees generated from those trades are given to the investors to provide the liquidity inside the liquidity pools.

What are the risks associated with Liquidity Pools?

Our smart contract that has been audited by Verichains, and founders and staff are found online and in our various online communities.

Why is rebalancing important?

Regular rebalancing helps minimize impermanent loss by adjusting positions to reflect changing market conditions. This reduces the risk of losing potential returns due to price fluctuations.
