Introduction
In recent years, DeFi has grown tremendously, becoming one of the most promising industries in crypto. Countries also realize the great potential of this field, so they race to develop the best quality products to dominate the market. Most of the most popular DeFi applications today come from the US or Europe. Still, with the advantage of its scientific level, China is also trying to assert itself with extremely quality projects. Prominent among those projects is DODO.ADVERTISEMENT
DODO Exchange (DODO) is an on-chain liquidity platform that uses the Proactive Market Maker (PMM) algorithm that provides people with pure and contract-fillable liquidity. It features highly capital-efficient liquidity pools that support single-token provision, reduces impermanent loss, and minimize slippage for traders. To put it more simply, while decentralized exchanges with the advantage of anonymous and peer-to-peer transactions are still hampered by low trading volume and illiquidity, centralized exchanges are still challenges for users with cumbersome regulations and complicated procedures. In that context, DO DO was born as a decentralized exchange but still has high liquidity, ensuring users’ interests.
Market Analysis
On July 21, 2021, CoinMarketCap calculates a total market capitalization of $63.5 Billion for decentralized finance (DeFi). This market tended to grow strongly, up to 143% in the first two months of 2021. However, this is also a highly competitive market as there are already many
successful projects in the market. It can be a major drawback and advantageous when the
market has been proven demand, and users have also been educated by competitors.

Product Highlight
Exchange
Users can exchange or swap almost of digital assets/ cryptocurrency at an affordable fee.
Liquidity
Although the protocol is decentralized, DODO Exchange traders have sufficient liquidity close to centralized platforms. There is a possibility of price differences between other exchanges. DODO Exchange can be commercialized by arbitrageurs. Liquidation, Auction, and other on-chain operations powered by smart contracts can utilize liquidity from DODO Exchange.
Crowdpooling
DODO Crowdpooling gives projects opportunities to configure Whitelist by themselves, and those who are on the list are eligible to join in the Crowdpooling campaign. But this function is not by default; projects must contact the DOOD team to set up relevant association configuration on the backend.
Mining
On asset types, there are no minimum deposit conditions and limitations. With each purchase, DODO charges a fee and ultimately distributes it to LPs as compensation. LPs may generate trading pairs with their own tokens. In addition, LPs can gain liquidity without considering price pressure by depositing the tokens they already own.
Other tools
Users can create a whole new token or crowd pooling on the DODO platform.

Some investors expect DODO price can break the green line to have an uptrend in the short and mid-term if everything follows the technical chart.
Unique Selling Point (USP)
Low slippage
Due to the design of AMM taking advantage of Oracle Price, prices on DODO will have relatively low slippage. DODO Team designs a new On-chain liquidity solution that is more unique when compared to Uniswap’s AMM. They call this algorithm is Proactive Market Maker (PMM).
When market prices change, AMM passively relies on arbitrage to change prices. While PMM actively shifts the price curve in the same direction to ensure that the neighborhood of the market price remains flat. This ensures a continuous supply of sufficient liquidity.
High Fund Utilization
In PMM, most of the funds are pooled close to the market price, which allows for more frequent, vibrant trading, increasing the usability of funds.
Single Risk Exposure
In PMM, asking liquidity is determined only by the number of base tokens in the pool, and bidding liquidity is determined only by the number of quote tokens. It allows the base pool and quote pool to have different sizes and thus allows liquidity providers to deposit any number of tokens or base tokens, instead of both like Uniswap.
Reduced Impermanent Loss
When individual traders buy the base token, the PMM will slightly increase the price to make it more profitable for the arbitrageurs to sell the base token. With PMM, arbitrage ensures that the number of tokens in the pool is always close to the number of tokens sent by the liquidity providers. This plan effectively minimizes standing losses for liquidity providers, making liquidity provision on DODO a low-risk affair.
