An AMM alternative to bootstrap liquidity?

[bryantanjw]

Has the team considered implementing an AMM to provide instant liquidity to the markets? Given the relatively low liquidity now, this could potentially be useful. Users could perhaps also choose to be LP providers by depositing LP-tokens of outcome tokens.

Else, it could solely serve as a price discovery mechanism as well.

Any thoughts about this?

Yup we've thought about it, it may work for pre-match markets but I think in-play would be difficult given the volatility. That being said for long-tail markets it may be an acceptable solution, we're not offering those just yet on the Exchange but maybe down the road. AMM's could potentially be part of solution to allow accumulators/parlays as well on top of a CLOB as well.

The price discovery idea is interesting - what exactly were you envisioning there?
