Single Side Liquidity Strategies

HyperBrick empowers you to customize your liquidity with single-sided strategies, enabling efficient deployment of just one token—whether you’re bullish, bearish, or hedging. This gives you strategic flexibility without exposing unnecessary capital to both sides of a pair.

1. Single-Bin Limit Order

What it is: A targeted liquidity placement akin to a limit order—investing in just one bin at a chosen price level with a single asset.

Best for:

  • Accumulating tokens at anticipated lows or selling at expected highs.

  • Traders who want sharp entries or exits.

Pros:

  • Extremely capital-efficient when the target price is hit.

  • Precision control over exposure.

Cons:

  • No fee generation unless execution happens within that specific bin.

  • Risk of never being triggered.


2. Single-Sided Range Band

What it is: Setup a continuous band of bins on one side of the market—for example, only below the current price for buying or above it for selling.

Best for:

  • Gradual accumulation (buy the dip) or distribution (sell the rally).

  • Situations where you expect directional moves.

Pros:

  • Spread risk and opportunities over multiple price levels.

  • Earn fees as price moves through the band.

Cons:

  • Requires calibration of band width and depth.

  • Exposure to impermanent loss on the side you aren’t deploying.


3. Support Edge Wall

What it is: Build a strong liquidity wall on one side of the price (often below), designed to absorb buying pressure and stabilize the market.

Best for:

  • Pegged or support-level tokens (e.g., stablecoins, undercollateralized assets).

  • Situations where you want to actively defend a threshold.

Pros:

  • High fee capture as trades hit the wall.

  • May help guide the market toward your price edge.

Cons:

  • Capital remains idle if price never reaches your wall.

  • Large loss if price falls sharply below the support.

Strategy Tips

  • Choose your entry/exit carefully: Limit-style bins are most efficient around key price levels.

  • Set marker bands wide enough to cover short-term volatility, without diluting your fee potential.

  • Monitor and rebalance as market conditions shift to stay effective.

  • Use HyperBrick vaults (coming soon) to automate single-side strategies without manual upkeep.
