Fusion Grid
The Future of Cross Protocol Liquidity
A new kind of framework that improves on the existing permission-less AMM model of the exchange (that works and scales fairly well, but has its own set of trade-offs) and provides a new foundation to not just the usage but further development as well. It is a hybrid model that combines the best of both dimensions, as a combination of a permission-less AMM coupled with decentralized order books, both on- and off-chain powered through oracle networks. The key to unlocking the full potential of future liquidity flows however, will be the abstractions of the underlying fabric of Web3 SpaceTime: the different layers and networks themselves. The first product from this spectrum will be the โRift Gateโ, our own cross-chain bridge, that will leverage a custom message-BUS system coupled with an oracle network to coordinate the transfers and movements across different โDimensionsโ (i.e. blockchains but also protocols), but more on that later in the โRift Gateโ Section. The whole point is to be able to provide best (i.e. lowest) execution price possible at all times, regardless of the network or layer you are on, which would heavily incentivise aggregators and other routing protocols among other factors - This alone would drive not only capture and grow those capital flows significantly but would unlock in general a compounding volume potential through opening up the Fusion Grid framework as a kind of SDK, as to enable easy integration and setup of other custom DEX + Protocols building on top. This is reminiscent of the white label solutions that centralized exchanges often provide like Binance Cloud or FTX White Label. Other features like enabling now to supply liquidity asymmetrically (as in providing only 1 token, instead of a full pair, as a lot of people donโt have equal amounts or in general are heavily concentrated in a specific coin/token), different pool types (the current type โConstantโ, but additionally Concentrated, Stable and Index with each their own benefits), a standardized and unified pool smart contract interface, that will actually unlock the real value and productivity, as external devs can now directly build on top and other teams preparing and spinning up a new pool according to their needs, without redeploying the whole codebase again, eliminating the โpool initiation) which is up until now prohibitively expensive and inefficient. We would spin it even further and actively provide a feature full API, that actually makes it viable to integrate in any app (even traditional non-crypto apps) to make specifically all the yield products even more useful and significantly increase the volume and liquidity potential + fully featured widget that anybody can integrate in any app(web/mobile/etc.) with just a few lines of code (exactly like the known widgets in the space mostly found in crypto wallets, where users can buy/sell crypto with card or bank transfer quickly) - Exchanging itself only goes so far in terms of being a SaaS service offering, however the users of a lot of those non finance applications can greatly benefit by having the possibility to now interact with the app in a new meaningful way through a social/utility token + making it possible to invest it in the farms or earn in other ways. At the end, the user can still then easily liquidate through the swap interface. Another instrument that will be finally available through this pool factory grid will be derivatives and futures (highly under-utilized in the decentralized space and with existing solutions often times too limited in their capacity). Perpetual contracts will be the go to and starting point, as they also post extremely high volumes and are especially interesting in the DeFi world. This also opens up opportunities for other derivatives, that have not been touched yet (not even in the centralized space) of synthetic stocks, indexes, and other traditional finance instruments (as more of a complimentary way finally be able to hedge your stock investments for example of Robinhood or any other brokerage, or just in general to speculate now, unlocked for the common retail trader - no exclusive broker access, no front running, no intransparency, no minimum capital requirements. Be your own hedge fund, no matter if you manage $100,000,000 or just $100. This setup also ties in nicely with SamarQand and illustrates the power of the built in isolated lending market, as by its virtue the user can now borrow and leverage the position directly and seamlessly on the derivatives port (up to 2x in the beginning, but we will increase to levels over 20x, once we build out the markets and liquidity support) This is just the tip of the iceberg of what will be possible and this alone will be a giant volume and liquidity driver for the platform.
