Cetus Protocol Testnet Tutorial - Liquidity Protocol On Aptos & Sui

Cetus Protocol Overview

Cetus Protocol is an AMM liquidity protocol and also a Move-based DEX which is built on Aptos and Sui.

Cetus Protocol is building a decentralized infrastructure on the Aptos ecosystem, creating opportunities to fully utilize investors' idle fund. Cetus Protocol focuses on the user experience in the DeFi space by having an operating mechanism built on a concentrated automated liquidity protocol along with affiliate functional modules.

Cetus Protocol maximizes liquidity providers profits (specifically, the more liquidity is used, the more liquidity providers will benefit from the fees they provides), by concentrating the capital of LP within a highly active range in a concentrated liquidity protocol. Since then, with this operating mechanism, Cetus Protocol can significantly enhance the efficiency of capital use of liquidity providers compared to other common AMM DEXs (Usually using the classic model x*y = z).
