One on-chain object. Multiple buy & sell conditions. Passive, capital-efficient, and fully permissionless.
Welcome to the next evolution of DeFi trading on Cardano.

Why This Matters

For years, DeFi has been split between two worlds:

• AMMs — simple but inherently exposed to slippage and impermanent loss.
• Order books — powerful but require multiple separate transactions to express complex strategies.

Two-Way Orders unify the best of both:
You can rest multiple buy and sell conditions inside a single smart-contract UTxO, without ever becoming an LP, without curve risk, and without constant babysitting.

This is not a stop-loss or a “trigger-on-price-feed” system.
This is pure on-chain maker logic: you post bids and asks at explicit prices, and takers fill them whenever they choose.

1. AMMs → Order Books → Two-Way Orders: The Real Evolution

AMMs: simple swaps with structural costs

Why people use AMMs

• Instant, predictable swapping
• Always-on liquidity
• Friendly UX for beginners

But AMMs have unavoidable drawbacks

• Slippage / price impact — large trades shift the pool balance
• Impermanent loss — LPs underperform holding during price divergence
• No conditional logic (no buy-only-if, no sell-only-if)

AMMs democratized access — but they tax precision and expose LPs to inventory risk.

Order Book DEXes: precision, strategy, and zero impermanent loss

Why advanced traders graduate to OB-DEXes

• Exact limit prices
• Post-only maker control (near-zero slippage)
• Stop/Take Profit, Fill or Kill, etc.
• No impermanent loss

Trade-offs

• Need liquidity at your price
• Slightly more complex UI than AMMs

Order books bring back strategy — but a single limit only expresses one side of your intent.

2. The Breakthrough: Genius Yield Two-Way Orders

Two-Way Orders let you express multiple buy and sell intentions within a single on-chain UTxO.

❌ What they are NOT

• Not stop-losses
• Not “triggered by oracle price”
• Not automatically cancelled after one fill

✅ What they actually are

A self-contained UTxO can repeatedly perform buy and sell transactions, provided it contains the necessary assets.

If the UTxO holds ADA, it can buy GENS.
If it holds GENS, it can sell GENS.
IIf the system holds both assets, it can perform either action in any order and any number of times until the assets are depleted.

All fills occur when a taker chooses to accept your posted price.

3. Fixed Prices or Dynamic Prices — Both Supported

Two-Way Orders support two pricing modes:

1. Fixed-price logic

• “Buy if price ≤ 0.10 ADA”
• “Sell if price ≥ 0.15 ADA”

2. Dynamic oracle-relative logic

Thanks to Oracle integration, you can express rules like :

• “Buy 1% below market price”
• “Sell 1.5% above market price”
• “Buy at oracle price × 0.99”
• “Sell at oracle price × 1.02”

These update automatically based on external price feeds, while still functioning as pure limit orders (not triggers).

This is a game-changer because it provides professional-grade, spread-aware execution without the need for bots.

4. How Two-Way Orders Actually Work (Technical but Beginner-Friendly)

Important distinction:

Two-Way Orders don’t “trigger” based on external prices.
You simply post resting bid/ask prices on-chain.
When takers see your prices and choose to fill them, they do so — on-chain, atomically, safely.

This is what makes them decentralized and trustless.

Step-by-step

1. You create a Two-Way Order UTxO
   It may include ADA, GENS, or both.
2. The order exposes any combination of:

• One or more buy prices
• One or more sell prices
• Both simultaneously
• Fixed & dynamic prices together

3. The UTxO sits on-chain
Always available for takers. No off-chain monitoring required.

4. Buy fills occur when:
A taker spends your ADA to give you GENS at the posted buy price.

5. Sell fills occur when:
A taker spends their ADA to take your GENS at the posted sell price.

6. This can happen repeatedly
As long as the UTxO contains:

• ADA → it can buy
• GENS → it can sell

It’s a live, self-managed micro-market in a single UTxO.

5. Why This Eliminates Slippage & Impermanent Loss

No slippage

You rest on the book as a maker.
You only trade if someone accepts your price.

Zero impermanent loss

You are not a liquidity provider.
There is no AMM curve, just explicit trades at explicit prices.

Fees stay low

One order UTxO can execute dozens of trades without needing new transactions from you.

6. A Concrete Example

Imagine you deposit:

• 3000 ADA
• 2000 GENS

And you define:

• Buy GENS at 0.10 ADA
• Sell GENS at 0.15 ADA
• Buy 1% below oracle
• Sell 1.5% above oracle

Your Two-Way Order can now:

• Buy GENS repeatedly until ADA is depleted
• Sell GENS repeatedly until GENS is depleted
• Mix buy/sell cycles dynamically
• Automatically adjust dynamic thresholds via oracle

All inside a single UTxO, no babysitting.

This is professional-grade automation—without bots or custody.

7. Why This Is Truly “Next-Gen” DeFi

Two-Way Orders turn your UTxO into a self-rebalancing, rule-based trading agent:

✔ One UTxO can participate in dozens of buys & sells

✔ Prices can be fixed or dynamic

✔ Slippage is minimized (maker execution)

✔ Capital efficiency is high (single UTxO, multiple fills)

✔ Zero impermanent loss

✔ No off-chain bots required

✔ No external triggers (trustless)

✔ Takers interact permissionlessly

This is not AMM 2.0 or an order-book clone.
It’s the first true multi-intent, stateful trading primitive native to eUTxO.

8. Summary: Genius Yield Two-Way Orders

Final Word

DeFi is evolving beyond simple swaps and basic limit orders.
Two-Way Orders represent a new class of on-chain financial primitive:

• Transparent
• Capital-efficient
• Smart-contract driven
• Fully decentralized
• Designed for both beginners & professionals

Genius Yield is pioneering this new era — and Two-Way Orders are only the beginning.

We are thrilled to announce the successful audit completion of Genius Yield’s smart contracts, done by Anastasia Labs — an R&D firm on Cardano and experts in smart contract optimization, security analysis, and auditing.

One of the Genius Yield’s DEX pillars are on-chain limit orders, which are governed by smart contracts. These smart contracts ensure that funds locked in limit orders are released only under specific conditions, such as order cancellation or when a buyer pays the specified price. As these contracts dictate the operational framework of the platform, ensuring their robustness and “military-grade” safety is paramount. Thus, Genius Yield sought an additional layer of security by commissioning an audit conducted by Anastasia Labs.

The audit covered three smart contracts:

• 1st, governing limit orders
• 2nd, the NFT minting policy, used to uniquely identify an order across its different phases of a lifetime like partial fills
• 3rd, governing DEX’s fees

The findings have been already addressed by the Genius Yield team, resulting in the successful accomplishment of the audit process. This confirms that users’ funds are safeguarded and transactions are executed with integrity.

Moreover, audit results provided valuable insights and suggestions for further performance improvements, which will be gradually applied by the Genius Yield team.

The audit report is available here.

Following the successful completion of the audit, Genius Yield is pleased to announce the forthcoming smart contract Bug Bounty Program. This initiative aims to further fortify the platform’s security by incentivizing security researchers and developers to identify and report potential vulnerabilities. Details of the Bug Bounty Program will be unveiled shortly, inviting community participation in enhancing the security and reliability of the Genius Yield ecosystem.

Genius Yield continues to move forward with our community. To reward our community, in December 2022 we introduced the Genius Yield Staking Program, allowing GENS holders to participate in the Genius Yield platform by staking their tokens and receiving a fixed APY of GENS rewards. This program has been a success with over 20 million GENS staked and around 2.5 million GENS claimed as rewards.

TL;DR

• Locked staking — the possibility to create a staking vault with fixed APY on GENS ends May 1st, 2024
• Fixed APY on GENS is replaced with reward multipliers on DEX fees rewards, starting May 6th, 2024
• Between the 1st of May and the 6th of May, 2024, harvesting, unstaking, and creating new staking vaults will be halted, due to migration between the old and new staking system
• An additional 1.5M GENS is added to the GENS Staking Program, starting May 6th, 2024
• Flex staking is introduced, starting May 6th, 2024
• Genius and Mascot NFTs utilities remain unchanged. NFTs staking will be available until December 31st, 2025

In January 2024, the DEX Fee Sharing Program was launched, allowing GENS stakers to claim 20% of fees generated by the DEX. DEX fee sharing represents a key milestone of the Genius Yield platform and a unique utility of the GENS token, allowing GENS stakers to collect dozens of different tokens that are traded on the DEX. The DEX Fee Sharing Program also creates long-term sustainability for GENS stakers, where GENS stakers’ rewards are linked with the use of Genius Yield’s DEX.

Transition to V2 GENS Staking Program

With the introduction of the DEX Fee Sharing Program, we will begin to phase out the fixed APY in the GENS reward option.

Fixed APY rewards in GENS will end at 23:59:59 UTC on May 1st, 2024.

Starting May 3rd, 2024, rewards will only be based on the DEX Fee Sharing Program. To smooth this transition, an additional 1.5 million GENS will be allocated to GENS stakers on a declining supply curve using a methodology similar to Cardano’s mechanism that is used to reward those who stake their ADA to stake pools. Cardano pays staking rewards from two sources, ADA reserves and Cardano transaction fees. Reserves gradually decline as a greater share of the rewards comes from growing transaction fees caused by the increasing adoption of the Cardano blockchain. We will deploy a very similar mechanism to gradually phase out GENS rewards with a growing share of the rewards coming from growing DEX fees as more users utilize Genius Yield’s DEX.

Flex Staking

Based on popular demand, we are introducing a Flex Staking option for GENS stakers! With flex staking, your GENS are never locked, allowing you to employ more sophisticated trading or DeFi strategies with your GENS.

Check the details below.

Merging GENS Staking and DEX Fee Sharing Programs

On May 6th, 2024, the GENS Staking Program will effectively be merged with the DEX Fee Sharing Program, allowing GENS holders to choose between various staking options and APY amplification opportunities.

With an additional 1.5M GENS allocated, the V2 GENS Staking Program not only adds more flexibility, but also creates a unique opportunity to earn even more rewards passively!

Depending on the option chosen, GENS stakers will be eligible to do:

1. Flex Staking:

• Participate in the DEX Fee Sharing Program: earn part of the 20% fees collected by the DEX
• Participate in Tier 2 of the Accelerated Yield Program (additional conditions apply, please check the details here)
• Utilize your Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs

2. Locked Staking:

• Participate in the DEX Fee Sharing Program: earn part of the 20% fees collected by the DEX AND receive additional yield amplification — details in the table below
• Participate in Tier 2 of the Accelerated Yield Program (additional conditions apply, as above)
• Utilize your Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs

GENS Locked Yield Staking Vaults

The longer you stake, the more DEX Fee rewards you’ll receive.

Below is an example:

1. ADA rewards for periodₙ from DEX Fees = 1,000.0
2. GENS rewards for periodₙ from DEX Fees = 3,000.0

Future of Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs

Genius Yield’s Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs are utility NFTs offered to the community that allows GENS stakers to access increased GENS APYs between 2% to 6% for up to a year. In keeping with our promise to the community that these NFTs could be utilized for up to three years, both Genius and Mascot NFTs APY boosters can be used when staked until 23:59:59 UTC on December 31, 2025.

When exercised, each NFT will receive its additional GENS-specific APY for one year or the remaining days of utility available. To check an NFT’s remaining days of utility, copy and paste the NFT’s Fingerprint / Asset ID here.

Key Points:

1. Starting at 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to stake your Genius or Mascot NFT — For example, a GENS holder stakes their Genius NFT in August 2025 to the six-month vault to get a 2% APY in GENS. In February 2026, the GENS staker decides to claim their GENS rewards and unstake their GENS and Genius NFT. After checking the remaining days of utility, the GENS staker sees there is six months left of utility to receive a 2% APY in GENS. In this scenario, the staker will not be able to stake their Genius NFT anymore because the deadline to stake the Genius NFTs, 23:59:59 UTC on December 31, 2025, has passed.
2. As long as you stake before the deadline, you can receive the maximum time remaining on your Genius or Mascot NFT — For example, on December 30, 2025, a GENS holder decides to stake his GENS with a Genius NFT. As their Genius NFT has never been staked and has a full year of utility available, the GENS holder selects the 12-month vault. In this scenario, the staker will be able to stake their Genius NFT and receive 12 months of a 2% APY in GENS. Since the Genius NFT was exercised before the deadline, the GENS staker can get the full 12-month utility time of the APY boost by selecting the appropriate staking vault.
3. Rewards for the Genius and Mascot NFT will be in GENS — If staked before the deadline, the 2% to 6% APY rewards will be in GENS. GENS stakers who stake their NFTs will have the benefit of getting DEX Fee sharing rewards and GENS rewards simultaneously.

Thank you for unwavering support and we look forward to the future where the community continues to get more utility through the Genius Yield platform.

As we advance in the decentralized realm, we are thrilled to announce the activation of Genius Yield’s Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), realized through a strategic alliance with Clarity — experts in community governance and management tools for Cardano projects.

Championing Community-Led Innovations

Genius Yield’s DEX is known as the “Cardano Community DEX,” and its DAO’s inception marks a crucial leap in reinforcing this identity. Our dedication to open-source ethos is evident through making the smart contracts, Market Maker Bots, and Smart Order Routers publicly available. Advancing towards a DAO highlights a profound belief in the power of community-led governance, enabling GENS token holders and stakeholders to actively participate in the project’s course.

GENS Tokens: Unlocking Governance Potential

The introduction of the DAO marks a significant enhancement in the utility of GENS tokens, placing governance in the community’s hands. GENS token owners, including both holders and stakers, are empowered to vote on proposals, with each token representing a vote. This democratizes the governance process, allowing the Genius Yield community to drive the project’s evolution in alignment with collective aspirations and principles.

Join the Governance Journey

The launch of the Genius Yield DAO is a big step forward, aiming for more community involvement, openness, and collective decision-making. We’re inviting everyone with GENS tokens to take part in the voting, sharing your views on where Genius Yield should head next. This isn’t just about casting a vote; it’s about being part of a team effort to shape the future of finance on the Cardano network.

As Genius Yield continues to innovate and grow, the DAO showcases our commitment to putting the community first in our decision-making. Expect more chances to get involved and help steer Genius Yield’s direction. We’re all in this together, working to build the future of DeFi.

Genius Yield has successfully delivered its order-book decentralized exchange. Since December 2023, traders in the Cardano ecosystem can finally trade on a DEX with price transparency and advanced order types such as time-limit orders. We have a goal of being Cardano’s Community DEX. As the traction on Genius Yield’s DEX increases along with the addition of more advanced order types, we aim to become the premier DEX for all traders, whether you’re an experienced trader or a beginner.

Unlike AMM DEXs with centralized batchers, the operations of our DEX are ran independently by the community from our open-sourced market maker bots (MMBs) and smart order routers (SORs)

With Genius Yield’s DEX, the risks of impermanent loss from AMM DEXs are gone. If you want to be a liquidity provider, you can manually place limit orders on Genius Yield’s DEX or you can manage your liquidity through running your own Market Maker Bots. MMBs can profit from trading activity by exploiting bid/ask spreads on token pairs when placing multiple buy or sell orders on the DEX. With these bots you avoid the impermanent loss seen in many AMM DEXs as your liquidity isn’t pooled with others. You have full control of how your funds provide liquidity, as you can provide one-sided liquidity and configure customized trading strategies. Smart Order Routers run by the community handle the scanning, matching, and execution of orders on Genius Yield’s DEX, allowing orders to be filled in a timely and efficient manner.

Based on community feedback and the desire to be transparent, the Genius Yield team is providing an updated roadmap. The roadmap is a “living” document, subject to changes.

Phase 1

• DEX Fee redistribution — A key utility of Genius Yield’s utility token is the ability to receive 20% of fees generated by the DEX. By staking GENS, stakers will receive a portion of DEX fees proportionate to the amount they staked. A unique feature of the Genius Yield DEX is that since many different tokens trade on the DEX, GENS stakers can claim fees generated by trades with these tokens. GENS stakers benefit from this utility as the volume on the DEX grows. To stake, check, or and claim rewards, go to https://app.geniusyield.co/earn and connect the wallet that is currently staking GENS.
• Accelerated Yield — Trading on Genius Yield’s DEX is rewarded with GENS for a limited time. GENS stakers are eligible for a second tier of rewards, potentially accelerating their yield even more. highly-anticipated feature and one of the GENS token’s main utilities. Rewards can also be claimed at https://app.geniusyield.co/earn. The dashboard also shows rewards collected in the Accelerated Yield program.
• Market Orders Multi-Fills — Large single orders can be matched and filled by multiple orders based on the most efficient price available on the DEX.
• Audit — As we value security, we are getting our smart contracts audited for the second time.

Phase 2

• DEX UI and UX improvements — As we receive feedback from the community, we will implement updates to improve DEX’s UI and UX, enhancing Genius Yield’s DEX user experience.
• Bug Bounty Program Launch — A final security stress test of the Genius Yield platform
• Marker Maker Bots framework — This feature will give liquidity providers flexibility in employing different trading strategies when managing their funds
• Updated Staking Options — More staking options for GENS stakers.
