Understanding Impermanent Loss in AMMs
When dealing with Automated Market Makers (AMMs), impermanent loss is a critical concept for liquidity providers to understand. Here's how it works:
- Convex Function Dynamics: In convex AMM functions (where buying increases prices and selling decreases them), single transactions without fee compensation always result in losses for liquidity providers.
Price Movement Mechanics: When a trade moves the AMM function from Point 1 to Point 2:
- Spot prices (absolute values of function derivatives) are P1 and P2 respectively
- Actual execution price becomes P3
- Due to convexity: P1 > P3 > P2
Calculating Impermanent Loss
Impermanent loss represents the difference between:
- The current value of LP tokens in the pool after trade
- The value if the provider had simply held the tokens
Expressed mathematically:
IL = V_post_trade - V_hold
Where values are typically denominated in Token Y (with 1 Token Y = 1 unit)
Key findings:
- Impermanent loss is always negative (when x2 > x1 and P2 < P3)
- LPs experience loss because P3 < P1 when buying, and P3 > P2 when selling
