Building upon Andre Cronje's seminal defi primitive Solidly, and as an authorized fork of RAMSES, SHADOW incorporates Solidly's **ve(3,3)** foundation and RAMSES' proprietary **concentrated liquidity** implementation to bring unparalleled liquidity efficiency to **Fantom Sonic**.

SHADOW takes concentrated liquidity to the next level, optimizing for high frequency trading on liquidity pairs and Fantom Sonic's high throughput and low cost structures.  The result is a hyper-efficient liquidity layer designed to attract the most effective liquidity providers, while delivering a clean and simple user interface that is accessible for all users.
