## About

### What it is

Ekubo operates as a next-generation decentralized exchange featuring concentrated liquidity positions that can achieve up to 100x capital efficiency compared to traditional AMMs. The protocol offers extensible architecture allowing third-party developers to create custom order types, automated strategies, and oracles through its extension system. It provides super-concentrated liquidity with precision down to one hundredth of a basis point, delivering 4 million times the capital efficiency of traditional order books.

### Who uses it

Ekubo Protocol is an advanced automated market maker (AMM) built natively on the Starknet blockchain network. The protocol is developed by experienced DeFi builders with connections to the Uniswap ecosystem.

### How it works

The protocol leverages Cairo smart contracts optimized specifically for Starknet's architecture to minimize gas fees and maximize capital efficiency for both traders and liquidity providers. Ekubo generates revenue through trading fees while enabling liquidity providers to earn yields on their concentrated positions within specified price ranges. The extensible design allows for ecosystem partnerships and integration with other DeFi protocols, creating a comprehensive trading infrastructure on Starknet.
