RE: Deployment of $xASTRO, $vxASTRO and the Astral Assembly
Now that the Astroport AMM has launched, focus shifts to activation of $ASTRO staking ($xASTRO), locking ($vxASTRO) and governance (via the Astral Assembly).
🧵👇
B/w the launch of the Astroport AMM and activation of the Astral Assembly a grace period was planned for important security-oriented reasons including:
(1) no matter how carefully engineered or audited, code always needs a trial period "in production" before it should be considered fully secure;
To fully master AMMs, you must understand the holy trinity of Slippage, Price Impact, and Minimum Received.
As Astroport's launch approaches (Dec 20 👀), let's take a look at all three so Astrochads everywhere can ape safely.
🧵👇 /n
1/ Imagine you want to swap 100 $LUNA for $UST.
Astroport’s "Breakdown" section gives us an insight into the swap. We expect 4500 $UST in return, but a minimum of 4421 $UST. We also see a Price Impact of 0.002% and a Slippage Tolerance of 0.5%.
Why is that? 🤔
2/ AMMs like Astroport do not update their price as other markets move.
Instead, the price moves as the reserve ratio of the tokens in the liquidity pool changes based on swaps.
