Hashflow Intro
Hashflow is a decentralized exchange designed for interoperability, zero slippage, and MEV-protected trades. Hashflow is currently available on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Optimism, and has traded over $12B in volume since launch in 2021.
Hashflow uses a hybrid on-chain / off-chain RFQ (Request for Quote) engine to fetch off-chain quotes from market makers who manage liquidity in on-chain pools. This means that all Hashflow trades are fully-protected from both slippage and MEV exploits whether the trade happens locally on one chain or across chains.
Instead of a constant-product pricing function commonly used by AMMs, Hashflow allows market makers to source liquidity and price assets using off-chain pricing functions, backed by cryptographic signatures.
By moving pricing off-chain, market makers can use more sophisticated pricing strategies that factor in off-chain data like historic asset prices, volatility, and other real-world information that allows them to effectively price assets.
By moving pricing functions off-chain, traders benefit from:
Better Prices
Off-chain pricing leads to tighter quotes, which gives traders more bang for their buck.
Zero Slippage
All Hashflow quotes are executed at the displayed price.
MEV-Resistance
Cryptographic signatures make front-running impossible. Traders can keep what they earn.
Bridgeless Cross-Chain Swaps
Traders can seamlessly swap assets across chains within minutes without the need for external bridges, while taking advantage of all the benefits from above.
