# Market Makers

> Capital-efficient market making with delta-neutral hedging, zero impermanent loss, and high throughput.

## High capital turnover. Delta-neutral returns. Zero impermanent loss.

Traditional AMM market making requires large capital commitments, exposes LPs to impermanent loss, and demands constant position management. Bolt's architecture offers a fundamentally different model for capital deployment.

## The Bolt market-making model

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deploy capital">
    Deposit into Bolt Outpost pools. Single-sided. No paired asset requirement. Capital is ready to settle swaps immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Facilitate swaps">
    Deposited capital is used to settle swaps at oracle-validated prices. Every swap generates fees. Your capital never takes directional risk.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hedge exposure">
    All directional exposure is hedged on external venues immediately after settlement. Delta-neutral at all times. No position drift.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Earn on turnover">
    Returns are a function of volume throughput, not directional risk. High turnover, low capital requirement, consistent fee generation. Capital works continuously.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Capital efficiency

<Info>
  29.7x daily inventory turnover — 23x the Sui ecosystem peer average across 16 pools and 8 protocols.

  For market makers, this means deployed capital turns over at rates impossible in traditional AMM positions. The pool is a settlement layer. Capital is always working.
</Info>

This efficiency comes from decoupling pricing from liquidity depth. Traditional AMMs require deep pools to minimize slippage. Bolt requires only enough capital to facilitate settlement at oracle prices. The result: higher capital turnover, lower capital lockup, and consistent returns independent of position size.

## Risk profile

| Dimension              | Traditional AMM LP                         | Bolt Market Making                        |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Capital deployment     | Paired, range-bound                        | Single-sided, flexible                    |
| Directional risk       | Full exposure to impermanent loss          | Delta-neutral via continuous hedging      |
| Returns driver         | Pool volume and fee tier                   | Swap throughput and hedging efficiency    |
| Rebalancing            | Manual or automated, LP bears cost         | Handled by hedging infrastructure         |
| Capital lockup         | Concentrated in specific ranges            | On-demand deployment and withdrawal       |
| Operational complexity | Range management, gas costs, IL monitoring | Hedging infrastructure, oracle monitoring |

## Market making with Bolt

<Note>
  Bolt's market making model requires hedging infrastructure and operational capability. This is designed for professional market makers, not passive LPs.
</Note>

If you have hedging infrastructure and can manage oracle exposure, Bolt offers capital efficiency that traditional AMM liquidity provision cannot match. Returns are fee-based, not speculation-based. Capital turns over continuously.
