Let’s cut straight to it — the Liquidity Book.

This month marks the start of a new era for AMM’s, and we’re proud to bring this innovation to you from our home here on Avalanche. It’s truly a big step… but it can be complicated to understand.

It’s been an entertaining month for both Smol Joes and Rich Peon, Poor Peon. Here’s a rundown…

Smol Joes: On We-Smol, the Creeps finally arrived and did so with conviction. Already claiming their first victim in Brother Haste, they clearly aren’t messing around. Meanwhile, the brothers took on multiple live-action “dungeon crawling” events to collect trinkets and learn more of the secrets that this Smol world might hold. The battle between Joes and Creeps rages on as we speak. Not to mention the official reveal of the World Map.

What lays ahead for the Kingdom of We-Smol…

Rich Peon, Poor Peon: This month was a major breakthrough for rich peons and poor peons alike. With the richest of peons gathering in the newly founded Beeg Rock Board Room, the poor peons made a major breakthrough in their mining capabilities and absolutely smashed the floor. Even the poorest of peons is worth 15x what they were worth only one month ago. The Board CEO has big plans to continue the smashing. The Mined Map gives a glimpse into the plans for the future. It’s truly an exciting time to be a peon.
