Equity in startups is often referred to as "golden handcuffs," with employees, advisors, or angel investors finding it difficult to liquidate their positions. Consequently, not everyone benefits equally from the success of these startups.

This issue is exacerbated in equity crowdfunding platforms, which enable the general public to participate in funding without providing clear visibility on when they can expect a return on their investments. In contrast, the crypto world handles this aspect more effectively, offering everyone equal opportunities to invest or liquidate.

Automated Market Makers (AMMs) are a novel concept, and concentrated liquidity offers significant control over how individuals provide liquidity or exchange their tokens/shares. Version 4 (V4) of Uniswap, further enhances customization to integrate the AMM model into traditional finance. Arbitrum Orbit contributes to this by allowing for chain customization, thus facilitating a seamless user experience.
