Deepwaters: Cross-chain DEX w/ distributed store-of-value token

Name of Project

Deepwaters

Proposal overview

Deepwaters is a market-responsive Automated Market Maker (MRAMM) based Decentralized Exchange (DEX). It seeks to solve a number of challenges that have been presented to the industry by the latest evolution of AMM based DEXs called Concentrated Liquidity Provision (CLP). These challenges not only harm the experience of traders, but also limit the participation of the traditional liquidity providers in CLP, restricting the potential of its capital efficiency.

In a closed system, risk, including that of existing fractionality, can neither be created nor destroyed. Deepwaters uses risk transference within its tranched systems to balance superior swap market prices with market-leading levels of dynamic capital efficiency. Deepwaters addresses the distorted risk compensation problem which has plagued decentralized finance (DeFi), since the introduction of AMMs and liquidity provision (Uniswap).

Complimenting this DeFi ecosystem will be a pair of tokens:

  1. A system-wide governing token.
  2. A fully collateralized distributed store of value token which will feed liquidity into the platform.

Hi again Harmony community! We’re back with some updates:

● Our public testnet is on track to go live on Aug 31st!
● Testing on internal testnet is on schedule to begin on July 31.
● We remain committed to a late Q4 date for mainnet launch, following a successful period in
testnet, bug bounty program, and formal audits by Quantstamp.
● The first iteration of our public-facing Gitbook is live!
● We’ve written over 45k lines of code for the current testnet architecture. UX designs are complete for the entire front-end, and we have begun to release sneak peeks to our
community.
● Token contracts are ~80% completed and interacting with middleware layer on internal testnet.
● Platform has been adapted for true multi-chain operation, supporting: Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB
Chain and Polygon upon launch. More chains will be added over time.
β—‹ Focus will be on EVM-compatible chains early on for smart contract risk-mitigation.
● Advanced research and testing around confidential order flow and fair execution technology.
● Improved trust model for self-custody of user assets.
