We all know that DEXs are the bedrock of a robust DeFi ecosystem and that everyone loves leverage. However the current leading exchanges fall short in 3 main ways.
These are:
- High barriers for market listing
- Lack of risk management
- Unclear risk/return for liquidity providers
Vest conquers these shortcomings through a cutting-edge risk-engine shaped by academic literature and modern market making techniques.
Using adaptive pricing controllers unique to each underlying asset and the market environment, we can unlock illiquid markets faster than any decentralized or centralized exchange.
Next steps:
We'll be randomly giving 20 whitelist spots to followers who like and retweet this thread.
