Frequently asked questions
What is concentrated liquidity?
Liquidity providers commit capital to a specific price range instead of the whole price curve, which concentrates depth and improves capital efficiency where trading actually happens.
Why are v3 LP positions NFTs?

Does Uniswap v3 have fee tiers?
Yes; pools can be created at multiple fee tiers, letting fees match the volatility of the pair.
