Maxbid is a decentralized, non-custodial margin liquidity protocol, built to enhance capital efficiency in DeFi trading by integrating with existing liquidity on decentralized exchanges. It functions similarly to a specialized money market, designed specifically to support more effective capital usage for traders.
