DeepBook has launched its latest version, Version 3, on the Sui Testnet, bringing significant improvements aimed at enhancing its utility for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, according to The Sui Blog.

Key Features and Improvements

Among the notable advancements in DeepBook Version 3 are the substantial reduction in gas fees, dynamic trading fees, and a new capital-efficient order management system for market makers. These features are designed to make the platform more attractive and efficient for DeFi protocols.

One of the significant updates is the introduction of the DEEP token, which will establish a new governance model for the liquidity layer. This model allows stakers to propose and vote on changes to taker and maker fees, with votes occurring at every epoch.

Reduced Transaction Costs

Efficiency improvements in DeepBook Version 3 have led to a 60 percent reduction in transaction costs compared to the previous version. This reduction is expected to make it more cost-effective for DeFi protocols to operate on the platform.

New Orders Interface

DeepBook now features a swap-like interface that simplifies its integration with DeFi protocols, making it more user-friendly and accessible.

Flash Loans

The new version supports instant, zero-collateral borrowing, facilitating arbitrage, liquidity provision, and risk management within DeepBook’s highly performant environment.

Dynamic Fees

The introduction of dynamic fees allows for greater flexibility. Through the new governance model and DEEP token, stakers can propose changes to the fees, ensuring that the platform remains competitive and responsive to market conditions.

Shared Liquidity Across Pools

Market makers can now share capital between pools, reducing the risk associated with maintaining deep liquidity. This improvement is expected to enhance the overall liquidity and efficiency of the platform.

Token Utility

DeepBook’s DEEP token will play a crucial role in incentivizing participants to provide ample, around-the-clock liquidity. Market makers will earn rebates in DEEP, and stakers will be able to participate in the governance of individual pools. The governance structure is designed to prevent any single entity from having outsized control, ensuring a balanced and fair decision-making process.

Testnet to Mainnet

The latest version of DeepBook was deployed to the Sui Testnet on August 21, 2024, with a planned two-week run before its Mainnet launch. Users are encouraged to help test the new version by providing feedback through the designated channels.
