Decentralized funding, or DeFi, has transformed the crypto investing surroundings, but several protocols suffer from a prolonged problem: large price slippage.

Poor cash results in orders not being delivered at the desired rates, which in turn amounts to a tax on disappointed traders. Crinkling slippage is made worse by unwieldy bridges, higher fees, and slow confirmation times, which cause end users to have frustrating experiences.

That pushes DeFi fans again to unified markets, which prison people ‘ assets—meaning they no more truly own them. This may have disastrous effects on consumers, as seen when FTX collapsed in 2022.

By addressing fragmentation in the current multi-chain landscape while offering CEX-level price efficiency in decentralized ecosystems, the newly launched Bolt Liquidity aims to address this issue.

The solution it’s developed is a concept called “on-demand liquidity”, which promises to provide “one-click, instant access to any asset on any chain at the best possible price”. Here’s how it works.

What is Bolt?

Bolt Liquidity claims to be” the first on-demand liquidity network that provides the best cross-chain price execution.”

Bridging, liquidity aggregation, price optimization, and swaps are all consolidated into a single API, in what the project calls” the ultimate plug-and-play solution”.

The network’s goal is to seamlessly execute trades across all of the chains it supports, allowing for, even in low-liquidity situations, to profit from the best prices.

A simple, unified interface eliminates the need to manually bridge assets, fund gas on new chains, or navigate between different versions of cryptocurrencies.

Meanwhile, liquidity providers can effectively and centrally allocate funds by deploying funds across multiple networks in one place to stop their capital from sitting idle.

Bolt claims that this opens up new opportunities across the DeFi ecosystem as well as reduces the risk of impermanent loss, which occurs when the ratio of tokens in a liquidity pool changes due to significant price changes. It ‘s&nbsp, a common risk when interacting with decentralized protocols, and can result in users losing funds.

The platform says there are advantages for developers and aggregators, too. By opting for standardized cross-chain settlement, projects that integrate Bolt’s infrastructure can offer their users more competitive pricing and, potentially, lower security risks.

Three essential elements come together to create everything:

  • An oracle network that offers decentralized prices through a pool of validators
  • Cross-chain smart contracts powered by Inter-Blockchain Communication
  • Allowing third-party providers to offer optimal price discovery, and receive a share of trade fees

Who’s behind Bolt Liquidity?

Bolt Liquidity’s founder is Frojdi Dymylja, who began blockchain and algorithmic trading in 2017.

He claims that his eight years of experience in the field have made it easier for him to identify the areas of concern, both for blockchain infrastructure and liquidity inefficiencies.

He wished there had been something better when he was a trader before getting the product he wanted to create.

What problems does on-demand liquidity solve?

According to Bolt Liquidity, fragmented liquidity is limiting DeFi’s potential, with the blockchain landscape now characterized as” a messy patchwork of shallow pools and inefficient trading venues struggling to keep up with real markets.” This issue is only getting worse in a world where hundreds of thousands of tokens are being created each week.

The platform claims that the on-demand liquidity engine provides the following benefits:

    Zero slippage: Bolt Liqidity says it decouples automated market makers from asset reserves. This is accomplished by using the PoPE mechanism, abbreviated as PoPE, to demonstrate this. According to the project, trades are executed at true market rates by mirroring real-world data on-chain.

  • In a change from the status quo, liquidity providers only need to deploy capital when it’s needed. Empowering LPs and market makers Bolt claims this eliminates” the constant headache of rebalancing”.

Bolt intends to route trades across on- and off-chain liquidity in order to open access to the best possible prices further down the roadmap. Through a feature called Dynamic Debt Provisioning, which eliminates the need for pre-commitment, the project also aims to make active market-making accessible to regular users. Additionally, its framework will be expanded to accommodate a wider range of assets.

Put another way, Bolt’s longer-term goals are to contribute to creating a world where “liquidity flows like water” by combining” the precision of centralized markets with the trustlessness and composability of DeFi.”
