## What is Concentrated Liquidity?

Concentrated Liquidity represents a groundbreaking liquidity solution that enables liquidity providers (LPs) to **maximize their capital efficiency** and **mitigate impermanent loss** by concentrating their liquidity within a specific price range. This innovative feature allows LPs to stake a specific token pair within a defined price range.

## Why is Active Liquidity Management needed?

While it is possible to earn higher returns in Concentrated Liquidity pools, these platforms pose a greater challenge for liquidity providers than traditional ones, as they require liquidity providers to provide liquidity within specific price ranges. If the underlying asset's price moves outside of the set price range, the Liquidity Providers no longer earn fees without re-adjusting the price ranges.

By using Gamma's active liquidity management tools, users can benefit from automatic rebalancing of their liquidity to keep it within range and auto-compounding of generated swap fees to maximize capital efficiency.

## About Base
