The Value-to-Signal (VTS) model in the Fiet Protocol dynamically adjusts how much liquidity market makers settle in AMM pools based on trading demand. By tracking the ratio of settled to committed liquidity, VTS ensures markets remain liquid without requiring market makers to lock excessive funds on-chain.
VTS acts like a thermostat, balancing liquidity supply with market demand.
Each currency in a Fiet Market has a VTS ratio, comparing settled liquidity (on-chain funds) to committed VRL. A target VTS sets the desired settlement level, starting at a base rate (e.g., 2% for USDC). As traders demand a currency, the target VTS rises, prompting market makers to settle more funds. When demand falls, excess liquidity can be withdrawn, maintaining efficiency.
