izumi Finance is a platform providing liquidity as a service with Uniswap V3 and a built-in multi-chain dex. Izumi Finance proposes innovative liquidity mining protocols to help protocols attract liquidity efficiently by distributing incentives in certain price ranges.

izumi Finance provides “Liquidity as a Service” (LaaS) based on Uniswap V3, designed to solve two problems: incentive inefficiency and pool 2 dillema.

izumi enhances incentive efficiency by supporting “non-homogenous” Uniswap V3 liquidity mining and enables protocols to distribute incentive rewards in certain price ranges. E.g., Stablecoin pools only pay out incentive rewards within a narrow price range (0.99,1.01).

izumi solves “pool 2 dilemma” problems by providing structured-incentive and auto-rebase modules, which could attract more liquidity with low emission rate for protocols while enabling non-impermanent liquidity mining for liquidity providers. (Pool 2 dilemma - high APR liquidity mining incentives in pool 2 usually brings high inflation rate and sell pressure).

iZi token 

iZi token is izumi platform's utility token, it can be used to pay for cross-chain trading fees, incentive pool set-up and v3Toolbox usage.

Additionally, users need to stake iZi token to acquire ve-iZi token, which is izumi platform's governance token that enables holders to be eligible for a range of benefits and participate in governance.

ve-iZi token

ve-iZi is not tradable or transferable and can only be obtained by staking iZi tokens. The amount of the ve-iZi balance is based on the amount of iZi tokens locked, and the time left before the unlock. The ve-iZi balance is linearly decreasing since the time of lock. The iZi tokens locked can not be withdrawn before the timelock has expired. However, it is possible to extend the timelock or increase the amount of staked iZi tokens.
