Did you know?
What if the same liquidity could serve multiple markets without being used twice?
That’s the idea behind Atomic Orders in @TermMax V2.
In V1, liquidity was siloed between markets.
Imagine a vault has 1.1M USDC.
It might have to split that liquidity like:
250K → Market A
600K → Market B
250K → Market C
So even though the vault has 1.1M USDC in total, each market only sees its own allocated amount.
That creates a problem when a large borrower comes in.
V2 takes a different approach.
With an Atomic Order, the same 1.1M USDC liquidity can be made available across multiple markets:
1.1M → Market A
1.1M → Market B
1.1M → Market C
Sounds like 3.3M USDC, right?
It isn't.
This is where the “atomic” part matters.
The liquidity can only be taken once.
If Alice takes 500K USDC from Market A, the available amount is reduced across the other markets at the same time.
So after that:
Market A → 600K available
Market B → 600K available
Market C → 600K available
The protocol isn't creating extra liquidity.
It's making the same liquidity usable across multiple markets while keeping the total amount constrained.

And that's why I think Atomic Orders are more interesting than they initially sound.
They're basically trying to solve a simple problem:
How do you make liquidity available where it's needed without fragmenting it across markets?
For a large borrower, that can make a big difference.
V1: liquidity gets split.
V2: liquidity can be shared across markets.
