What Is ‘Single-Sided Liquidity’ and Which AMMs Support It?

Single-sided liquidity allows a user to provide only one of the two assets in a trading pair to a liquidity pool, rather than requiring an equivalent value of both. The protocol automatically swaps half of the deposited asset into the paired asset to balance the pool.

This simplifies the LP experience and is often supported by specialized AMMs or protocols that offer features like 'Zap' functions or concentrated liquidity models.
