Dare to trade. Dare to win.
They're are literally just digital matchmakers for trading. Think of it as two giant lists sitting side by side:
CLOB magic happens when these prices meet and Computer goes BRRR and matches orders INSTANTLY.
🔷Why CLOBs > AMMs for serious trading?!?!
Price-time priority = fair queue system
🔹No impermanent loss BS
🔹Tighter spreads (market makers compete)
🔹limit orders, stop losses, all that good stuff
🔹Capital efficiency through the roof
Early DEXs like EtherEx tried this in 2017 but got rekt by gas costs. Every order update = expensive tx. Linear matching algorithms hit gas limits like prime Mike Tyson.
🔹Instant finality = instant trade confirmations
🔹$0.0001 gas fees = profitable micro-orders
🔹Native USDC with instant settlement (cold hard cash)
🔹no reorgs
Sonic literally is the solution to every problem that killed early CLOBs. You can now run sophisticated trading strategy dApps with CLOB that were impossible on expensive and slow chains before.
Sidenote:
The future isn't AMM vs CLOB, it's both coexisting for different use cases. AMMs for casual swaps, CLOBs for serious trading.
