CLOB-AMM Hybrid Architecture

Architecture

A CLOB-AMM hybrid architecture combines the features of a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) with an Automated Market Maker (AMM) to optimize liquidity provision and trade execution in decentralized exchanges. This design integrates the high-speed, transparent order matching of traditional finance with the passive, on-chain liquidity pools characteristic of DeFi. The hybrid model seeks to leverage the strengths of both systems to create a more robust trading environment for cryptocurrency derivatives.

AMM

Meaning ⎊ Lyra is an options AMM that uses a Black-Scholes-based pricing model to dynamically adjust for volatility and delta skew, ensuring liquidity providers are accurately compensated for the specific risk they underwrite.
