Introducing Fluid Liquidity as a Service (LaaS): Managed DEX Liquidity for Asset Issuers

LaaS is the most efficient way for institutions and asset issuers to bootstrap liquidity onchain at a fraction of the cost.

Fluid deploys, manages, and maintains DEX liquidity for partnered asset issuers using Fluid Liquidity Layer infrastructure— using its own capital, in a flat fee structure.

No inventory. No position management. No impermanent loss. Fully managed, end-to-end.

The Problem: Building Liquidity Is the Hardest Part of Launching an Asset Onchain

Launching a stablecoin, yield-bearing asset, or RWA onchain is only the beginning. The real challenge starts after launch: building deep, sustained DEX liquidity that lets holders enter, exit, and use the asset without meaningful slippage.

For most issuers, this means confronting a set of operational and capital challenges:

• Inventory: Where does the liquidity come from?

• Position management: Who monitors, rebalances, and adjusts?

• Impermanent loss: Who bears the risk?

• Strategy: What ranges, concentrations, and depth targets?

Solving these problems requires either building an in-house liquidity team, contracting external market makers, or providing significant inventory as an issuer — all expensive, complex, and operationally distracting from the core product.

Meanwhile, without deep secondary market liquidity, the asset itself struggles to scale. Holders face slippage. Loopers face wide spreads. New entrants lose confidence.

Bootstrapping liquidity is one of the hardest operational challenges for asset issuers coming onchain.

Introducing Fluid Liquidity as a Service

Fluid Liquidity as a Service (LaaS), solves this problem end-to-end.

Under a LaaS arrangement, Fluid will deploy, manage, and maintain DEX liquidity for partnered asset issuers using its own capital, in a flat fee structure.. The issuer commits no inventory and takes no operational lift. Fluid handles everything.

Currently, LaaS is available to support:

• Stablecoins

• Yield-bearing stablecoins

• Select RWAs

Where the Liquidity Comes From

All capital deployed through LaaS comes exclusively from Fluid's USDC Lite Vault — a dedicated, isolated capital pool designed for actively managed LP strategies.

What Makes LaaS Different

Four principles define how Fluid delivers liquidity as a service:

• No Inventory
  The issuer provides no capital. Fluid sources all liquidity needed for the position from its own balance sheet.

• No Position Management
  The issuer takes on no operational overhead. Fluid manages ranges, depth, and concentration through its proprietary systems.

• No Impermanent Loss
  The issuer bears no IL risk. Fluid deploys, manages, and takes risk on the strategy end-to-end.

• Fully Managed, End to End
  One integration. One flat fee. Deep, actively managed liquidity — from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to provide any inventory? No. Fluid sources all liquidity needed for the position.
2. Do I take risk on the liquidity? For example, if there are losses, will I have to cover them?No. Fluid deploys, manages, and takes risk on the strategy.
3. How are fees charged? The end-to-end service is charged as a flat fee on the desired DEX liquidity amount. Fees can be streamed, paid monthly, or in lump sum — the arrangement is flexible and can be tailored to your preferences.
4. What assets can be supported?
Fluid can provide LaaS to any asset that meets its collateral listing requirements. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, with ultimate judgment determined by Fluid's risk team.
5. How will terms be formalized?
Legal contracts will be signed outlining the terms and expectations of both parties.

The Bigger Picture: Finance's Liquidity Layer

Fluid Liquidity as a Service is a natural extension of Fluid's mission: to be The Liquidity Layer for all Finance — the most capital-efficient infrastructure for onchain assets.

Fluid is:

• The only one Liquidity Layer with a DEX, lending protocol and a LAAS infrastructure.

• One of the most capital efficiency layers in DeFi (per Blockworks)

• The #2 DEX by daily volume on Ethereum

• A top-3 DeFi lending protocol

By combining lending, DEX, and now managed liquidity infrastructure into one protocol, Fluid enables every asset — from stablecoins to RWAs — to reach its full capital-efficient potential.
