The Question

Analyze how users join pools on Osmosis.

** \n **

Do they dive in headfirst (add both assets; joinpool) or do they wade in carefully (singleside; join swap extern amount in). Also analyze how deep the pool is (typical swap size in token and USD for both activities).

Introduction

Osmosis== is an advanced automated market maker (AMM) protocol that allows developers to build customized AMMs with sovereign liquidity pools. Built using the Cosmos SDK, Osmosis utilizes Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) to enable cross-chain transactions.

Liquidity== in cryptocurrency markets essentially refers to the ease with which tokens can be swapped to other tokens (or to government issued fiat currencies). One way a market achieves liquidity is through the use of order books, like in a stock market.

What are liquidity pools?

A liquidity pool in cryptocurrency markets is a smart contract where tokens are locked for the purpose of providing liquidity.

In financial markets such as foreign exchange markets, stock markets, bond markets, there needs to be some mechanism for providing liquidity so that trade in the asset can take place. Liquidity in cryptocurrency markets essentially refers to the ease with which tokens can be swapped to other tokens (or to government issued fiat currencies).

One way a market achieves liquidity is through the use of order books, like in a stock market. Here buyers and sellers of an asset place orders: they specify a price and quantity of the asset that they would like to buy or sell, as the case may be. An exchange, such as a stock exchange, then matches buy and sell orders to establish a price for the asset. [1]

Overview of Analysis

LPing types are defined as single sided and two sided in this dashboard. two sided are Lpings which done using two tokens and single sided LPings are which done using one token. to identify those types, I have counted tx_ids and assigned the txs which were repeated twice as two sided and those which were repeated one as one sided. here are the results :

Observations

in all metrics , like Avg usd amt,LPs per day,USD amount per day,LPer per day,USD amount per LPer,total amount $,total number of LPers and total number of LPs, two sided LPing was ranked first.
Although the single sided Lping is very popular, but it seems tat people prefer to deposit large amounts in two sided way.

Observations

Number of LPs has reached its peak in OCT 31 week, which 28k two sided and 18 k osingle sided LP happened on that date .
Also, in Oct 31 week , there were 6.8k two sided lpers nd 5 k single sided lpers .
Peak of deposit amount in usd happened in NOV 7 week , with 500M$ two sided and 12M$ single sided LPing.
total of 60 % of LP actions, 54% of wallets and 86% of amount , were related to two sided LPs.
