[Alpha Vaults](https://alpha.charm.fi/), an automated liquidity manager for Uniswap V3, is Charm's flagship product. It was the first Uniswap V3 liquidity manager to launch; and the simplest, most stable, and best performing product of its kind.

Alpha Vaults pioneered range order strategies and passive rebalancing, and its success created a new industry for [decentralized market making strategies](https://medium.com/charmfinance/quietly-innovating-a-trillion-dollar-industry-e03ab29cb5d9) (DMMS).

Previous products launched by Charm include [Charm Options](https://medium.com/charmfinance/charm-is-live-on-mainnet-a6e5af542456), a groundbreaking options AMM; and [Cube Tokens](https://medium.com/charmfinance/cube-tokens-are-live-on-mainnet-4dcce5cc4f78), a leveraged token protocol. [Both products have been discontinued](https://medium.com/charmfinance/charm-options-and-cube-tokens-9dd0861945d), in order to focus research and development efforts on Alpha Vaults and version 2 of Charm Options.
