<p>Why Hanson's logarithmic scoring rule define an Automated Market Maker?
We have in <a href="http://users.wfu.edu/strumpks/papers/JPMFinalVersion(JPM%203-1%20complete%20text%20310309).pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this paper</a>
in page 47, section automated market maker, that this scoring rule can &quot;easily&quot; be turned into an AMM. But it seems to be so easy that no one can explain that clearly. Sometimes, LMSR is directly defined as an AMM like <a href="https://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7E./sandholm/liquidity-sensitive%20automated%20market%20maker.teac.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>
middle of page 2.
Well, in all research I did, everyone consider that it's an AMM, but Hanson do not really explain why...</p>

I was wondering about the same and found the answer in Section 5 of this paper: https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1206/1206.5252.pdf
