Five stars from people who actually read it.
Rated 5 out of 5
A go-to resource for AMMs
“I eagerly awaited the release of this book and was not disappointed. It is an excellent resource that provides a comprehensive overview of automated market makers, both from a mathematical and practical standpoint. The book includes a wealth of examples to illustrate the concepts discussed, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this topic.”
Rated 5 out of 5
Trustworthy authors
“Fantastic book! The authors did an incredible job providing a thorough exploration of various AMM concepts, covering everything from Constant Function Market Makers like Uniswap v2, Balancer, and Curve, to the more complex concentrated liquidity AMM, Uniswap v3. The authors have great backgrounds in math and DeFi — very reputable sources to write on this topic.”
Rated 5 out of 5
Mathematical rigor meets easy-to-follow examples
“The book starts from the basics of Automated Market Makers, and covers content all the way up to Uniswap V3 — easily one of the more complicated types of AMMs in the web3 space. It discusses the theoretical foundations on a very reader-friendly manner. As someone who appreciates mathematical rigor and clear, easy-to-follow examples, I highly recommend this book.”
