Dynamic Market Maker (DMM)

Revolutionary Liquidity Model

Dynamic AMM

Blast Futures Exchange introduces a revolutionary new model for market making: the Dynamic AMM (DMM) Vault on BFX. This innovative solution addresses critical pain points faced by traditional AMM liquidity providers and offers a seamless solution for users to provide liquidity in an orderbook easily. Users can deposit USDB to BFX DMM Vault and earn a share of trading profits, and maker fees from the exchange.

The Problem

Barrier To Entry — Providing liquidity is hard if you’re not a professional market maker. You need trading and technical expertise, hundreds of thousands dollars worth of infrastructure, and a team of traders monitoring 24/7.

Liquidity Limitations — Whereas Automated Market Maker (AMM) based perpetual DEXs often have limited markets available for trading. This constrains your execution quality and ability to trade new markets with speed and size.

Impermanent Loss — Furthermore, traditional AMMs, such as Uniswap, rely on a constant product formula; this can lead to significant impermanent loss (IL) over time when asset prices experience just day-to-day fluctuations. This structural shortcoming for passive market making (LP’ing) creates a loss of value for liquidity providers compared to simply holding their assets.

Introducing Dynamic Market Maker (DMM)

Dynamic AMM. No impermanent loss.

Providing liquidity is hard. Our DMM fixes this. Utilizing the most up-to-date market information, including best bid/ask prices, with millisecond accuracy. It ensures that liquidity provision is effortless, profitable, and highly efficient.

The DMM is a “fully informed” model compared to “zero information” x*y=k AMMs. Passive LP’ing is low-information market making, the DMM is active, high-information market making. Our novel approach sets the Blast Futures Exchange DMM apart from traditional AMM models and offers users a more secure and stable method of earning yield.

Some unique structural benefits of the DMM:

• No impermanent loss: The real-time index-based mechanism works by continuously adjusting prices to track the prices of the underlying assets in the spot market. This “high-information” active approach provides a major advantage in mitigating IL risk.

• Earn maker incentives: DMM earns maker incentives by providing liquidity to the exchange

• One-click participation: The DMM vault streamlines the market making process, allowing users to become a market maker without needing in-depth market-making knowledge or complex algorithms. Use the same strategies as a sophisticated market maker with a single click!

• 24/7 competitive edge: Combining state of the art real-time inventory and risk management to provide a level playing field for all users. The DMM is fully automated: market making while you sleep.

How It Works

DMM Aggregated Price Feed

The BFX DMM aggregates real-time bid/ask prices from numerous top centralised, decentralised exchanges and oracles such as Pyth to update the price levels of the AMM strategy with millisecond accuracy.

The AMM prices are calculated based on the following formula:

$midPrice=aggregateBestBid/2+aggregateBestAsk/2$

$maxPositionSize=TVL/midPrice$

$n\in[1,2,3,...,19,20]$

$k_n=4(n-1)/10000$

$quoteSize =(TVL/markets-currentPosition)/4*0.1/(0.9^{20}*(1-0.9^{10}))$

$bidPrice_n=midPrice(2500\sqrt{var_{5min}+5var_{1min}}-k_n+currentPosition/R)$

$askPrice_n=midPrice(2500\sqrt{var_{5min}+5var_{1min}}+k_n+currentPosition/R)$

Risk Parameters

The strategy risk parameters include dynamic adjustments based on market skewness, cross-correlation across markets, factors like liquidity, volatility, and trading volume. The maximum position limit scales linearly to the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the vault.

The DMM Vault does not use any leverage.

DMM vault uses dynamic spread adjustment using short and medium term volatility regression bands.

Incremental back-off offsets based on current position size and max position size.

Dynamic sizing of orders based on current position size and max position size.

More long skew = smaller bid size & higher bid offset

More short skew = smaller ask size & higher ask offset

Max position size scales linearly with the TVL of the vault.

Back-off offsets based on the cross-correlation matrix of each market.

Max position for each market depends on liquidity, volatility and trading volume.
