In this post we will explain Kyber Network’s flexible reserve system and share how DeFi developers can create new reserve models to be deployed on the network to provide liquidity for a wide range of unique use cases.
In order to enhance liquidity and capture greater value, it is imperative that the DeFi space is able to create new liquidity systems catered to different needs, and we believe that there is huge potential for Kyber to be the cradle for liquidity innovation.
To encourage liquidity innovation for DeFi, Kyber will be launching a Reserve Innovation Program, with up to $100,000 in total grants for selected projects. We are looking for talented developers who are interested in liquidity innovation beyond the current Automated Market Maker (AMM) landscape.
