Value Capture: Leakage of value in the decks ecosystem
Value leakage within the decks ecosystem is a significant issue that needs to be addressed. There are three main areas where value capture is a concern: loss for rebalancing, where liquidity providers suffer losses due to price changes and arbitrage; price slippage for traders, especially in cases of sandwich attacks; and the platform tax imposed by Ethereum in the form of transaction fees. These leaks of value need to be mitigated in order to grow the overall value in the decks ecosystem and ensure fair and sustainable participation for both swappers and liquidity providers.
