# What Sets Firefly Apart?

Firefly brings a **host of dex features for traders and liquidity providers**. *Limit orders to buy when Token X drops to $0.50?   Take-Profit orders to sell a token at a certain price?*  Firefly has you covered.  &#x20;

Added to that: firefly has a *laser focus on the customer*.

### **Customer Focus**

That orange icon means assistance is a click away.   firefly is one of the few de-fi projects that has *24-7, round-the-clock user support*.  &#x20;

Whether on your laptop or mobile, you'll see this icon on the swap page.  Just click it and live chat with a real person whether you're having issues with your trade or adding liquidity. &#x20;

### **Traders**

* **Limit Orders** (buy once the token reaches a desirable price)
* **Order Book type orders** (ie: Take Profit order- sell once asset appreciates to a certain price)

Limit orders are a part of many trader's arsenal to accumulate crypto tokens at ideal entry points.  Ordinary AMM Dex's can't do this.  Firefly lets traders set & forget limit orders, with our backend doing the work of filling the order.  When it's completed, you simply retrieve the tokens.

And we pride ourselves on keep order fees low.     &#x20;

### **Liquidity Providers**

* **Concentrated Liquidity** (define the sell price range of assets that you LP)
* **Single sided liquidity** (ie: in a BTC-USDC pair, you can provide just BTC or just USDC)&#x20;
* **Flexible liquidity** (you do not need to provide 50:50 tokens in an LP, you can provide 90-10, 25-75, etc.)&#x20;

One of the blockers for liquidity provision is having **exactly** 50% of each token in the pair. **Maybe you've dealt with that challenge before.**

*For* exampl&#x65;**,** if you have $5,000 of ETH, you also need $5,000 of USDC lying around to LP for a USDC-ETH pair. Not everyone has that. *So people are unable to LP because they don't have enough of both tokens.*&#x20;

**With Firefly, you can contribute to pair liquidity unevenly.** If you only want to contribute only $5K of ETH to the pool, you can do that. *Or* you can contribute your $5k of ETH and just $750 of USDC in *uneven* liquidity provision.  This means you can start earning from LP'ing these pools *even if you don't have the perfect ratio of tokens***.**&#x20;

Our goal is to empower you to earn on Firefly -- Single-Sided and Flexible liquidity provision is just one way we'll do that.&#x20;

### Incentives

* **Project Token Rewards**: Pools on the dex may be enhanced with Firefly's project token $FLY so APRs are boosted.  This is one reason APRs on Firefly will remain high relative to the competition.
* **3rd Party Token Rewards**: What's cool about Firefly is not only can the project incentivize pools with $FLY, any project can incentivize their pools with their own tokens, and those will flow to the LPs as additional rewards on top of the pool APR.  It's a great way for Manta Pacific projects to encourage liquidity on their token pairs.  And for LPs, it means even higher returns!

### Firefly as a Modular Dex has advantages over DEX's on other chains&#x20;

Because the Manta Pacific blockchain stores its transaction data off-chain through Celestia, it is considered a Modular chain- faster & less expensive L2 than rollup chains.  As a Manta-native dex built for the chain, Firefly inherits the benefits of the Manta Pacific's Modular design.    &#x20;

* Since Manta Pacific uses Celestia for data availability, **the transactions are particularly fast**. This means trade transactions on Firefly will be faster than most Dex's on other chains.
* Lowest cost trading as **Manta's Modular L2** **reduces transaction cost** by storing transaction data off-chain.  Firefly will be less expensive than dex's on most L1's and L2's.  Firefly transactions cost on average just half a cent in gas fees.  This is 2x-10x less expensive than swap gas fees on many other L2s.
* As ETH gas costs rise, Firefly DEX costs will not rise linear with those increases.  This is because Manta stores its transaction data off-chain through Celestia.
