AMM

Thruster’s core product is automated market makers (AMM).

Automated market makers are a form of decentralized exchange (DEX) that give users the ability to make on-chain trades of utility and governance tokens without interfacing with an order book, which are often inefficient and can be manipulated (spoof orders) for longer tail assets and on higher-latency chains.

AMM protocols accomplish this by pricing deposited liquidity against specific preset curves, available at any time of the day.

Due to this automation, traders can easily access liquidity for a broad range of assets while liquidity providers can earn trading fees on positions they deposit permissionlessly into an AMM.

Thruster will support a variety of AMM types, including:

  • Full range: xy=k

  • Concentrated liquidity (CL)

First Principles UI & UX

Even for tenured users, the user experience is far from perfect in DeFi.

  1. There is often too much 'noise', with users having to juggle multiple websites & social media sources to discover, then trade and use new protocols; and

  2. Some protocols provide no valuable information about integrations, partners, or protocols otherwise listed on their exchange.

Thruster is built around the idea of solving these problems by improving the UI & UX for builders, traders, and liquidity providers / yield seekers.

This focus on UI and UX will also exist within our interfaces for developers seeking to use our fair launch or liquidity tools. In some cases, we will have to link out to partners.

We welcome feedback on this as our website develops and evolves with the latest market trends.
