Introducing Uniswap on The DeFi Risk Radar

We are excited to announce that Uniswap is now live on Sentora’s DeFi Risk Radar!

### About Uniswap

Uniswap is the leading automated market maker (AMM) on Ethereum, powering hundreds of millions in daily trading volume across hundreds of token pairs. With permissionless listings, deep liquidity and strong innovation, Uniswap remains the undisputed leader of decentralized trading. This leading position makes it crucial when assessing risk in DeFi

Comprehensive Risk Indicators

With 11 advanced risk indicators now available for each of Uniswap’s pools, the DeFi Risk Radar delivers granular insights into liquidity dynamics, whale LP behavior, market depth, fee tier concentration, and pool distribution. These metrics equip both retail traders and institutional participants with the data necessary to assess potential vulnerabilities and opportunities within Uniswap’s ecosystem.

Analyzing Liquidity Flows

Liquidity is the lifeblood of decentralized trading, which is why it’s so important to analyze key liquidity events.

Analyzing Concentrated Liquidity Markets

One of the key innovations of Uniswap V3 was introducing concentrated liquidity to AMMs. This enables users to deposit liquidity into the pool around specific price points. This evolution in AMM liquidity enables more efficient capital allocation that can permit larger trades with less liquidity as the liquidity can be focused directly around the spot price instead of being evenly distributed across all prices as is the case in Uniswap V2.

However concentrated liquidity has a downside in that if pool LPs are not frequently rebalancing their positions back to near the spot price, much of the liquidity in a pool can be unusable. This can create situations where pools with large TVL only have a small percentage of that liquidity available for users to trade at the current spot price.

The Risk Radar allows you to review liquidity flows for each pool on Uniswap. You can access this indicator by selecting any Uniswap pool from the top menu of the dashboard.

Once you’re viewing the relevant pool, you can view the Market Depth indicator that shows the liquidity of a market in an order-book style visualization. This helps potential traders to understand the liquidity depth around the current spot price for them to better understand the size of a trade they can perform while keeping slippage low.

One can dive deeper into slippage data through the Historical Slippage indicator that highlights the max trade size a user can perform while staying under a specific slippage threshold. This can be used to determine trade limits for a user in their DeFi strategy by keeping max trades in the pool below a historical threshold.

Understanding In Range Liquidity

As mentioned above, concentrated liquidity can pose a threat to liquidity in the market. However, this can also be seen as an opportunity for LPs to capture higher fees in markets where liquidity is historically inefficient at tracking the spot price. The TVL Out of Range indicator provides clear information on how efficient LPs are at maintaining liquidity around active trading prices.

We can see from the example in the chart above that the amount of liquidity out of range (not available to trade against at current prices) for the WETH-USDC pool has been trending upwards and ranging between 50–60% of the current $120M TVL. This indicates an opportunity for active LPs to allocate liquidity around the current spot price and capture fees that the out of range liquidity will not receive.

You can view these metrics, along with all other indicators, in the full dashboard here:
