In recent years, the decentralized exchange (DEX) space has grown rapidly, with various protocols attempting to solve the issues associated with automated market makers (AMMs). Ethervista is a new DEX protocol that seeks to address the shortcomings of the existing AMM model.
Addressing AMM Shortcomings
Traditional AMMs charge a fixed fee on every swap, which is typically paid in the tokens being traded. This fee structure has often led to short-term speculation, where token creators and liquidity providers focus on quick profits rather than the long-term growth of the project. Ethervista aims to change this by implementing a custom fee structure that is paid exclusively in native ETH. This approach allows for more flexible fee allocation and better aligns incentives for both creators and liquidity providers.
Custom Fee Structure
Ethervista's custom fee structure is a departure from the standard AMM model. Instead of charging a fixed percentage in tokens, Ethervista charges fees in native ETH. These fees are then distributed among liquidity providers and token creators within a specific pool. This system incentivizes participants to remain committed to the platform, as they earn rewards based on trading volume rather than short-term price action. Fees collected from trades are allocated between liquidity providers and token creators, encouraging them to focus on the utility and longevity of their tokens. This mechanism supports the sustainable growth of DeFi applications by providing a continuous income stream for creators through protocol-assigned smart contracts.
Creator Features
Creators on Ethervista have the ability to configure various aspects of their liquidity pools, including pool fees, protocol addresses, and metadata. Additionally, creators can restrict token transfers to the Ethervista router address, effectively locking all settings permanently and preventing unauthorized changes. Ethervista also includes features like SuperChat, a global live chat integrated directly into the DEX platform. The platform plans to expand beyond traditional pools by integrating ETH-BTC-USDC pools, lending, futures, and fee-less flash loans.
Despite its innovative approach, Ethervista has faced criticism. Some users have raised concerns about the project's structure, with critics arguing that it combines elements of deflationary coins with DEXs and pump-and-dump schemes. Nevertheless, Ethervista continues to push forward with its innovations in the DEX space, offering solutions for the sustainable growth of blockchain projects.
