Why does Balcore exist?
In this video, our founder shares the story behind Balcore, the problem we're tackling, and why liquidity providers deserve better infrastructure.
From six years of hands-on market-making experience to building autonomous, self-custodied market-making infrastructure for AMM DEXs.
This is more than an idea. It's a problem we've experienced firsthand.

@superdapp Exactly! 💯 High volume drives activity, but what matters is how much value LPs actually retain after losses and costs. That’s the real measure of sustainable liquidity.
High trading volume ≠ profitable liquidity.
An LP can collect substantial swap fees and still underperform simply holding the underlying assets.
The real equation is:
Net LP performance = Fees earned − Impermanent loss − Operating costs.
Volume matters. What LPs actually retain matters more.
@Balcore_AI keeps getting better every day. We’re refining the backend, improving the frontend and optimizing performance across the app.
Just redesigned the login UI/UX for a cleaner, smoother experience from the moment you get started.

Yesterday, I attended an entrepreneurs’ awards ceremony in Portland, Oregon, to do some networking for @Balcore_AI . I had the opportunity to meet some great people.
During dinner, one guy who had also worked at Intel for over 10 years and is now a director in another business asked me, “What’s your thought on NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang?”
My naive answer was that big players can use situations like this to manipulate prices, build short positions and make billions from the market reaction. That’s why I’m interested in who knew what before the rest of us.
Think about it. Around $430 billion in NVIDIA’s market value was wiped out in two trading days. Who was positioned to profit from that drop, and how much did they make? Institutions holding short positions clearly have a financial interest in seeing the price fall. There can be serious money to be made from the reaction to a scandal like this.
How much was already known, and by whom? Why did this become such a big story right after the election? Those are the questions that came to my mind.
Long story short, powerful people having affairs is nothing new. Personally, that part doesn’t shock me. What interests me is how this information gets released, the timing, and whether big market players are using it to squeeze as much money as possible out of the situation. Either way, this is just my personal opinion. Jensen is a great entrepreneur. I respect what he has built, and I believe he and NVIDIA will be fine.
Tokenized NVIDIA stock is part of our Phase 2 plan at Balcore. We’re doing the R&D now. Just thought I’d share my stance on him.

Impermanent loss played its card.
We’re building the counterplay. 🃏💜
At Balcore, we’re tackling IL with infrastructure designed to protect liquidity and keep fee income ahead of losses.
Because in DeFi, earning fees is only half the game.
Keeping them is what matters.
Great to see Balcore being part of conversations beyond the Web3 ecosystem.
From industry events to real-world connections, we’re sharing our vision for the next generation of onchain liquidity infrastructure.
Building meaningful technology starts with meaningful conversations.
More to come.
Came out to the Oregon Technology Awards this evening to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and do some networking for @Balcore_AI . Got the opportunity to meet some great people and share what we’re building.
At Balcore, we’re building autonomous, self-custodial market-making infrastructure for AMM DEXs so institutions, fund managers and asset holders can make their assets productive, earning fees when trades pass through their liquidity. Our technology tackles one of the hardest challenges in that process: impermanent loss, which can eat into fee income and erode the underlying assets.
Great conversations and exciting work ahead!

DeFi has a liquidity problem hiding behind billions in trading fees.
High trading volume doesn't automatically mean profitable liquidity providers. Impermanent loss can erase fee income and leave LPs worse off than simply holding.
As tokenized assets move onchain, solving this becomes critical.
At Balcore, we're building infrastructure designed to keep fee income ahead of impermanent loss and make liquidity provision a sustainable business.
The future of tokenized markets needs more than liquidity. It needs liquidity that works.
Fast transactions are great.
But what happens when your liquidity needs to react just as fast?
That's where infrastructure matters.
On Avalanche, we're building Balcore to make liquidity management more autonomous, responsive, and resilient.
Because DeFi shouldn't just move faster. It should work smarter. 🔺
At Balcore, we’re tackling a problem in a market that already processes trillions of dollars in trading volume and generates billions in fees from tokenizied market. Yet, more than 80% of participants struggle to make liquidity provision sustainable. Impermanent loss consuming their fee income and leave their underlying assets worth less than simply holding them. That discourages institutions, funds, treasuries and everyday asset holders from participating in this technology.
From what we’ve seen, the industry still lacks a broadly proven solution that makes this sustainable at scale. Automated liquidity managers and bots are already out there, but we’ve seen their limitations. Moving liquidity around and collecting fees isn’t enough if impermanent loss and execution costs keep outweighing those earnings. That is not a sustainable business.
We’ve built proprietary infrastructure at @Balcore_AI designed to keep fee income ahead of impermanent loss while protecting the underlying assets. As tokenized stocks, bonds, gold and other assets move onchain, solving this problem becomes even more important. Our goal is to make providing liquidity a viable business for the people and institutions supplying that capital.
