Unified Liquidity Layer

Most decentralized exchanges are siloed. Spot swaps live in one protocol, perpetuals live in another, and users are forced to move between them. This separation fragments liquidity, splits user activity, and limits capital efficiency.

Amara takes a different approach. The protocol combines both perpetual trading and spot swaps under one system, giving users access to two distinct liquidity models through a single platform.

• The perpetual engine (forked from GMX) is backed by a vault-style pool. This pool holds collateral such as USDC, DIONE, and synthetic assets, which traders use to open long and short positions.

• The spot swap module (forked from PancakeSwap) uses traditional AMM pairs. Liquidity providers deposit token pairs into pools, and traders swap against them at algorithmically determined prices.

By housing both engines in one protocol, Amara delivers a unified liquidity layer. Traders can move seamlessly between swaps and leverage trades without leaving the platform. Liquidity providers can choose the model that fits their strategy, whether vault-based exposure or AMM-style pools. The result is deeper markets, more consistent activity, and a stronger overall trading environment.
