Liquidity fragmentation is a token's liquidity being spread across multiple pools or DEXes, so no single pool is deep — even if total liquidity looks fine.

Definition: Liquidity fragmentation

Liquidity fragmentation is a token's liquidity being spread across multiple pools or DEXes, so no single pool is deep — even if total liquidity looks fine.
