Cardano DeFi 2.0

As we move towards the next evolution of decentralized finance on Cardano, three core pillars are essential: User Experience, Security, and Sustainability. These elements are fundamental in addressing the growing demands and expectations of the DeFi community, ensuring that our platform remains robust, user-friendly, and environmentally conscious.

User Experience

Enhancing user experience is crucial for the widespread adoption of DeFi. In this blog and with our public testnet, we will focus on features enabled by smart contracts. Features such as Routed Swaps, PathFinder, and advanced Liquidity Management tools like Zap In/Zap Out and Liquidity Migration make it easier for users to interact with the platform. These tools simplify complex processes, reduce manual effort, and provide seamless, efficient trading and liquidity management experiences. We also have an exciting surprise for you regarding our app 🤫.

1) Routed Swaps 🔄

This feature allows users to swap between two tokens even if there isn’t a direct pair (liquidity pool) available.

For instance, if you want to swap $WRT for $Token A, but there’s no direct pool, the system can automatically swap $WRT for $ADA first, and then $ADA for $Token A. This automation simplifies the process, so users don’t have to manually search for a middle token and perform two separate swaps. This ensures users can perform swaps even in the absence of a direct trading pair, making the process more flexible and comprehensive.

2) PathFinder 🔍

Unlocking the true power of Routed Swaps, The PathFinder algorithm precisely scans all available routes for a given token swap and selects the most efficient and cost-effective path. This system ensures that users receive the best possible outcome by evaluating multiple routes and dynamically adjusting to market conditions. Whether it’s finding a direct pair or leveraging intermediary tokens, PathFinder provides seamless and optimal trading experiences.

3) Liquidity Management 🔁

Zap In/Zap Out Functionality: This feature allows users to add or remove liquidity using just one token, simplifying the process of liquidity provision and withdrawal. It eliminates the need to hold and balance both assets in a pair, making it more convenient for users to participate in liquidity pools.

For example, traditionally, if you wanted to provide liquidity to a $ADA/$WRT pool, you would need to hold an equal value of both tokens. If you don’t hold enough $ADA, you would first need to swap $WRT to $ADA, and then add both $ADA and $WRT to the pool.

With the Zap In functionality, you can add liquidity using only $WRT or $ADA. Similarly, with Zap Out functionality, you can withdraw liquidity in $WRT or $ADA only.

4) Trading Fees 💸

Additional Fee Structures: The new smart contracts support dynamic and additional fee structures, ensuring that fees can be adjusted according to market conditions, making it fairer and more adaptive to different trading scenarios.

• Project Fees: In response to market demand, we have introduced a feature for fee sharing with token projects. Projects can benefit from trading their tokens by sharing protocol fees with their investors. This additional revenue can be used to enhance the project’s features or stability. Furthermore, it incentivizes investors and projects to deepen liquidity, improving the trading experience for all users.
• Dynamic Fees: All fees can now be adjusted based on market conditions and pool-specific characteristics. Swap fees are balanced to reflect the interests of both traders and liquidity providers, ensuring a fair and responsive fee structure.
• Dynamic Batcher Fees: Batcher fees can be adjusted according to market conditions, ADA price, and pool-specific characteristics. If the price of ADA rises, batcher fees can be lowered to maintain affordability for users. Additionally, fees can vary between pools, with those handling higher volumes of batched transactions potentially benefiting from lower fees. This flexibility ensures an optimized, cost-effective trading experience for all users.

5) One click Liquidity Migration 👆

With just one click and a single signed transaction, users can seamlessly migrate all their liquidity from all of V1 to V2 pools, with no additional batching fees for the V2 AddLiquidity requests. It’s on us. No funds are donated to V2 pools, and every bit of liquidity is compensated with shares. This process includes withdrawing LP tokens from V1 farms, withdrawing liquidity from V1 pools, migrating the liquidity to V2 pools, and optionally depositing the new LP tokens into V2 farms. This innovation saves users from performing four separate transactions per pool: withdrawing from the farm, withdrawing liquidity, providing liquidity to V2 pools, and depositing LP tokens into V2 farms.

This process is completely non-custodial, meaning users maintain full control over their funds throughout the migration. The funds are never transferred to a private wallet but remain under the user’s control in a smart contract. The system is decentralized and trustless, ensuring that no one can prohibit users from executing their migration.

6) Scheduled Liquidity Migration 📅

Users will be able to schedule their liquidity migration to a time that suits them best. This feature offers flexibility and convenience, allowing users to plan their liquidity moves without having to be present at the time of the transaction. Whether it’s scheduling the migration during off-peak hours or planning it at a more convenient time, this feature ensures that users have full control over when their liquidity is transferred to WingRiders V2. This scheduling capability adds another layer of flexibility and user-centric functionality, enhancing the overall user experience.

Security

Security remains a top priority to protect user assets and maintain trust in the platform. Implementing trustless and non-custodial protocols ensures that users have full control over their funds at all times. Additionally, a permissionless system guarantees open access, allowing users to manage their assets without restrictions.

1) Trustless 🔒

All funds are in complete control of the user. Once a swap request is initiated, no one, not even the batching agent, can cancel it. This removes the need to trust the batching agent, ensuring that the user’s intentions are fully respected and executed without external interference.

2) Non-Custodial 🏦

During the entire process of liquidity transfer, funds are never taken into a private wallet. Users retain full control over their funds at all times, ensuring maximum security and removing the risk of loss or theft.

3) Permissionless 🌐

The system is designed to be fully permissionless, meaning no one can stop you from using the pools or migrating liquidity. This ensures open access and freedom for all users to manage their assets as they see fit, without any restrictions or barriers.

Sustainability and Throughput

Ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of our platform is crucial as the Cardano blockchain continues to expand. By optimizing transaction sizes and increasing throughput, we are not only enhancing the performance of our DEX but also contributing to broader environmental and economic goals. Smaller, more efficient transactions reduce the computational load on nodes, which means that Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) can handle more transactions without requiring significant hardware upgrades, promoting decentralization and making it easier for smaller operators to participate. These improvements support a healthier, more sustainable blockchain ecosystem that is accessible to users worldwide.

1) Batch Size 🗳

By leveraging Plutus V2 inline scripts and datums, along with advanced Plutarch capabilities, our batching agents can now batch up to 31 transactions per batch. This is achieved without compromising on security, which remains our top priority. The high security standards ensure that all transactions are processed safely and efficiently. This batching capability significantly enhances the throughput, allowing more transactions to be bundled together and processed simultaneously. While it is theoretically possible to increase this number, we prioritize security to maintain the integrity of the network and protect user funds.

2) Chained Batches 🔗

We can process multiple batches per block, significantly increasing the number of requests processed simultaneously. This feature also allows routed swaps to be performed within the same block, enhancing the efficiency and speed of complex transactions. By maximizing the number of steps allowed per block, we can process up to 1000 requests within just 10 blocks, demonstrating our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the Cardano ecosystem.
