KyberZap: A Game Changer in DeFi ⚡️
In the rapidly evolving world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi), KyberSwap has always strived to push boundaries. Our latest innovation, the KyberZap API, is designed to revolutionize how users interact with liquidity pools, making it easier, more efficient, and more secure to maximize your DeFi investments. Let’s break down why this API is such a game-changer, how it works, and why it’s a must-use tool for every DeFi users.
The Problem: Inefficient Liquidity Provisioning ❌
Traditionally, adding liquidity to Concentrated Liquidity pools like a USDT/ETH pool can be a complex and inefficient process. Imagine you have $10,000 in USDT and want to add liquidity to a pool where the current ratio is 30% USDT and 70% ETH. To do this, you need to convert 30% of your USDT into ETH. But here’s the catch: directly swapping such a large amount can affect the pool’s price, leading to a mismatch in the ratio and leaving you with leftover assets or even causing your transaction to fail.
This inefficiency arises because most DeFi platforms lack the ability to adapt in real-time to changes in pool states, leading to suboptimal trades and missed opportunities. It may also happen while adding liquidity in a tight range or with low liquid tokens.
The Solution: KyberZap ✅
Our KyberZap API is designed to solve this problem by providing a seamless, efficient, and optimized way to add liquidity to any pool, regardless of its complexity.
Key Advantages of KyberZap:
- Simplified Liquidity Provisioning: KyberZap simplifies adding liquidity to Concentrated Liquidity Protocols, making it as easy as a Token Swap.
- Minimized Price Impact: The KyberZap minimizes price impact when swapping tokens to add liquidity by using our in-house Aggregator system. This system performs an off-chain simulation to identify the most efficient swap route, ensuring the highest return for the user.
- Eliminates Leftover Tokens: Our Zap API uses an on-chain algorithm to continuously adapt to changes in pool states during the Zap action. This ensures that the optimal amount of tokens is swapped and added to the pool, reducing or even eliminating leftover assets.
How It Works: A Technical Breakdown 🤓
Let’s dive into the technical details to understand how our Zap achieves such impressive results.
- Off-Chain Estimation: Before executing any transaction, our Zap API calls the Aggregator API to simulate multiple swap scenarios. For example, if you want to Zap $10,000 of USDT into a pool with a 30% USDT and 70% ETH ratio, the API will simulate different swap routes, including using external pools, to determine the optimal swap amount and post-swap ratio. This off-chain estimation ensures that when the time comes to execute the trade, it’s done in the most efficient way possible.
- Example Simulation: The Aggregator might determine that swapping $1,800 of USDT through the target pool and $3,500 through external pools is optimal. This calculation is based on multiple simulations to ensure the best possible outcome.
- On-Chain Execution: Once the off-chain estimation is complete, the transaction is prepared but not immediately executed. Due to blockchain delays, the pool’s state might change by the time the transaction is executed. Our Zap API accounts for this by rechecking the pool’s state just before execution and adjusting the swap accordingly.
- Dynamic Adjustment: If the pool’s ratio changes from 30% USDT / 70% ETH to, say, 90% USDT / 10% ETH, our system will recalibrate the swap to match this new ratio, ensuring that you add liquidity in the exact proportion needed.
Security Parameters 🔒
The KyberZap API includes two critical security parameters to protect users:
- Slippage for Swap: This parameter ensures that if the output of the swap is not sufficient (due to market fluctuations), the transaction will revert, protecting the user’s assets.
- MinLiquidity for Add Liquidity: This ensures that the liquidity added is close to the expected output, with the transaction reverting if it falls below a certain threshold.
These parameters provide a safety net, ensuring that even in volatile markets, your transactions are executed as close to your expectations as possible.
The Journey 🚶♂️➡️
KyberZap is evolving beyond just an API for adding liquidity to pools. Soon, it will allow to perform many other actions such as:
- Zapping Out: Removing from a liquidity position to any token
- Zap Migrate: Zap from any position in Curve, Balancer, Univ3, Univ2 (and forks) to any position in UniV3 (and soon UniV2).
- Zap Move: Adjusting a position range in a pool and move your positions from a pool to another pool within the same protocol.
With these new components, KyberZap creates a new standard for how DeFi users interact with liquidity protocols, making it easier, faster, and ensuring a seamless experience for becoming a Liquidity Provider.
