Ranger's product comes amid a battle in terms of crypto liquidity, with hundreds of trading venues vying for competition and thus creating an over-distribution in terms of capital.
“Liquidity wars are an inevitable reality of DeFi markets," Fa2, co-founder of Ranger Finance, told CoinDesk. "We've seen constant migrations of liquidity across different venues—no single platform is immune from sudden reversals."
"Ranger’s approach positions us as the neutral, universal execution layer above these tribal liquidity battles," Fa2 continued. "Our goal is simple: provide users with the deepest liquidity, optimal execution, and minimal friction. Ranger is built for this exact endgame."
A lack of liquidity means that traders often experience slippage and in inability to get filled on limit orders.
The protocol will become the "execution bridge" in perpetual markets, using an advanced smart order router that trades automatically and gives users the best possible execution across all venues.
The points season is a strategy used by numerous DeFi protocols over the past two years, it involves rewarding user activity with points that can eventually be converted into a token airdrop. Ranger Finance will issue 500,000 points to users on a weekly basis.
