Dynamic Distribution AMM
Maverick's core automated market maker. It lets liquidity providers place liquidity in arbitrary concentrated distributions and natively automates the movement of that liquidity to follow price, removing the manual re-balancing or metaprotocol tooling that other concentrated-liquidity AMMs require.
Liquidity Modes (Right / Left / Both / Static)
Four LP behaviors relative to price. Mode Right follows price upward (bullish directional bet); Mode Left follows price downward (bearish); Mode Both shifts liquidity in either direction to stay concentrated around price (well suited to correlated/stable pairs); Mode Static holds a fixed distribution like a classic concentrated position.
Boosted Positions
A mechanism that lets protocols add token rewards to specific dynamic-distribution positions, directing incentives to targeted price ranges and liquidity shapes rather than across an entire pool.
veMAV
Non-transferable vote-escrowed MAV obtained by locking MAV. veMAV balance grants governance voting power and the ability to direct protocol incentive emissions toward particular pools or positions.
Maverick v2 / Programmable Pools
The v2 architecture introduces Programmable Pools, where a designated smart-contract 'accessor' controls state-changing functions. This enables permissioned/KYC pools, dynamic fees, single-sided liquidity, and AI-driven per-transaction parameter optimization on top of the Maverick AMM. Deploying Programmable Pools is permissionless.
Differentiator
Automated liquidity 'modes' move concentrated positions with price, blending CLMM efficiency with hands-off LPing.

Similarity to traditional finance products
How Maverick Protocol maps onto established TradFi structures, and where it diverges.
| TradFi product | Similarity to Maverick Protocol | Key differences |
|---|---|---|
| Automated / algorithmic market making desk | Like a professional market-making desk, Maverick continuously repositions inventory around the prevailing price to keep quotes tight and capital productive. | Maverick performs this repositioning automatically on-chain through smart-contract 'modes' rather than via a discretionary trading desk, and any user can supply liquidity permissionlessly rather than the activity being restricted to a licensed intermediary. |
