What it means
A design where liquidity providers choose a price range to deposit into, instead of spreading capital across every possible price.
Why it matters when you trade
Concentration multiplies depth where trading actually happens, so a small position can offer the depth of a much larger classic one — Uniswap has published capital-efficiency figures of roughly 20x for a common range and thousands of times for tight stable ranges. The cost is active management: outside the chosen range your position stops earning fees and sits entirely in the losing side of the pair.
Worked example
Providing ETH/USDC only between 2,800 and 3,200 earns far more fees per dollar while price stays inside, and earns nothing the moment it leaves.
See it on live markets
DexLadder runs concentrated liquidity against live market and pool data, with simulated capital, so you can watch it act on an order instead of reading about it — no account, no wallet, nothing installed.
