Cetus Protocol is a decentralised exchange (DEX) and concentrated liquidity protocol launched in 2023, operating on the Sui and Aptos blockchains. It focuses on enhancing trading efficiency and liquidity management in the DeFi space.
Cetus uses a Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) model, allowing liquidity providers to allocate assets within specific price ranges for better capital efficiency. It offers multi-chain support on Sui and Aptos, enabling interoperability and a broader user base. Range Orders allow liquidity providers to simulate limit orders for more trading flexibility while Position NFTs grant ownership and fee collection rights. The Cetus Bridging Interface supports asset migration across over 20 blockchain networks, promoting seamless cross-chain functionality.
The CETUS token is central to the protocol’s ecosystem. It supports governance through the Cetus DAO, where holders can propose and vote on decisions. Users can earn CETUS tokens through liquidity mining or staking them to receive xCETUS, an escrowed governance token with added benefits. xCETUS holders also gain access to the launchpad, allowing participation in new project launches within the Cetus ecosystem.
