Coingecko tracks more than 125 decentralized exchanges.

Why does the world need the new DEX protocol, Astroport?

And how could it possibly become one of the industry’s leading DEXes?

Here’s how…

🧵👇
Most DEXes support a single type of liquidity pool.

Astroport enables three.

It also has a flexible architecture so devs & governance can easily add more pool types in the future.
Information = power.

No more “flying blind” or cobbling together DIY spreadsheets.

The companion web UI for Astroport gives LPs built-in tools, charts & metrics to track fees, APYs, gains/losses and more.
Astroport supports “dual liquidity mining” with its ASTRO Generators.

No longer will you have to choose between supplying liquidity on say @mirror_protocol and a DEX.

You’ll be able to earn rewards from BOTH simultaneously ($MIR + $ASTRO).
From Day 1, fees will flow to LPs AND stakers.

LPs earn in real-time as trades happen.
LPs govern the system by staking $ASTRO for $xASTRO or $vxASTRO.

Then, Astroport will apply a portion of LP fees to buying $ASTRO and adding it to the staking pool.

That means each $xASTRO and $vxASTRO will be worth more $ASTRO over time.
Astroport governance will be led by $ASTRO stakers in the Astral Assembly.

$xASTRO is for flexible users/governors—it can be returned to unstake $ASTRO at any time. $vxASTRO is for more committed users/governors.

How do you get $vxASTRO? By locking $xASTRO in the Time Vault.
$vxASTRO comes with more benefits, too. Holders of this non-transferrable "token" get

✦ A bigger share of trading fees; and
✦ The ability to vote on the pools that get the biggest “boosties” in the ASTRO Generators (that is bonus rewards for liquidity-mining for certain pools)
It’s the perfect circle.

All LPs are incentivized to lock $xASTRO so they can vote to send bonus rewards to their favorite pools.
There will be no “decentralization theater” on Astroport.

70% of all $ASTRO tokens will ultimately go directly to the protocol and its uses and allocation will be determined by the community.
Astroport will be fundamental architecture for the @terra_money galaxy.

But the story shouldn’t end there.

If Astral Assemblers and builders deem it so, it could use bridges to be the liquidity layer for traders who don’t even use Terra or have TerraStation installed.

Today, the best LPs are programmers.

They write custom code to route & monitor their positions to make the best decisions.

The rest?

They use “hopium” or a mish-mash of tools, spreadsheets, plugins & finicky desktop apps.

With Astroport, the game will change completely.

🧵👇
Astroport’s dashboard will give every user a personalized overview with:

✦ Per-pool and overall fee metrics
✦ Profit/loss
✦ Asset exposure
✦ LP vs hold
You can see your asset and pool exposures with Astroport’s pie charts, and interactive graphs display your returns over time.

At a glance, you’ll get a full overview of all your assets on Astroport to help guide your decisions.

Astroport is designed with one overarching goal: enabling massive liquidity for Terra-based tokens.

Here’s how it gets there...

🧵 below
1/ Traders and LPs can seek the best rates because Astroport supports 3 pool types on a single platform (Uniswap v2’s invariant pools, Curve’s stableswap pools and Balancer’s liquidity bootstrapping pools).
2/ Any trader can use Astroport because it integrates with Terra’s leading protocols (eg @mirror_protocol and @anchor_protocol), and Astroport’s code is backwards compatible so traders can easily access Astroport liquidity through other Terra dapps.
