The Geometry of Constant Function Market Makers
Guillermo Angeris, Tarun Chitra, Theo Diamandis +2
Constant function market makers (CFMMs) are the most popular type of decentralized trading venue for cryptocurrency tokens. In this paper, we give a very general geometric framewor…
Concave Pro-rata Games
Nicholas A. G Johnson, Theo Diamandis, Alex Evans +2
In this paper, we introduce a family of games called concave pro-rata games. In such a game, players place their assets into a pool, and the pool pays out some concave function of…
Dynamic Pricing for Non-fungible Resources: Designing Multidimensional Blockchain Fee Markets
Theo Diamandis, Alex Evans, Tarun Chitra +1
Public blockchains implement a fee mechanism to allocate scarce computational resources across competing transactions. Most existing fee market designs utilize a joint, fungible un…
Optimal Routing for Constant Function Market Makers
Guillermo Angeris, Tarun Chitra, Alex Evans +1
We consider the problem of optimally executing an order involving multiple crypto-assets, sometimes called tokens, on a network of multiple constant function market makers (CFMMs).…
Replicating Monotonic Payoffs Without Oracles
Guillermo Angeris, Alex Evans, Tarun Chitra
In this paper, we show that any monotonic payoff can be replicated using only liquidity provider shares in constant function market makers (CFMMs), without the need for additional…
Constant Function Market Makers: Multi-Asset Trades via Convex Optimization
Guillermo Angeris, Akshay Agrawal, Alex Evans +2
The rise of Ethereum and other blockchains that support smart contracts has led to the creation of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as Uniswap, Balancer, Curve, mStable, and Su…
Optimal Fees for Geometric Mean Market Makers
Alex Evans, Guillermo Angeris, Tarun Chitra
Constant Function Market Makers (CFMMs) are a family of automated market makers that enable censorship-resistant decentralized exchange on public blockchains. Arbitrage trades have…
Replicating Market Makers
Guillermo Angeris, Alex Evans, Tarun Chitra
We present a method for constructing Constant Function Market Makers (CFMMs) whose portfolio value functions match a desired payoff. More specifically, we show that the space of co…
A Note on Privacy in Constant Function Market Makers
Guillermo Angeris, Alex Evans, Tarun Chitra
Constant function market makers (CFMMs) such as Uniswap, Balancer, Curve, and mStable, among many others, make up some of the largest decentralized exchanges on Ethereum and other…
When does the tail wag the dog? Curvature and market making
Guillermo Angeris, Alex Evans, Tarun Chitra
Liquidity and trading activity on constant function market makers (CFMMs) such as Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer has grown significantly in the second half of 2020. Much of the growt…
Liquidity Provider Returns in Geometric Mean Markets
Alex Evans
Geometric mean market makers (G3Ms), such as Uniswap and Balancer, comprise a popular class of automated market makers (AMMs) defined by the following rule: the reserves of the AMM…
Why Stake When You Can Borrow?
Tarun Chitra, Alex Evans
As smart contract platforms autonomously manage billions of dollars of capital, quantifying the portfolio risk that investors engender in these systems is increasingly important. R…
