Project Description

Leverage on Uniswap

From Uniswap, users can access on-chain perpetual markets. Injecting the smart contracts for derivatives by adding a leverage button and slider. For degens.

Problem

  • In CeFi there are spot and perp markets within the same platforms e.g. Binance (but not in DeFi)
  • Futures volumes spot vs derivatives are 1-2%, in CeFi itā€™s 76.1%, there's a huge amount of expansion to go and that's because the futures perpetuals markets are fragmented and unknown.
  • There arenā€™t integrated spot and derivatives trading in the same platform
  • Crypto users are very sticky to their favourite tools and so we're bringing that experience to them.

Solution

  • A browser extension that lets you swap on GMX perpetual platform from the Uniswap frontend.
  • Set leverage settings from app.uniswap.org and execute the transaction which puts in a leveraged trade on the derivatives platform.
  • Get up to 50X leverage going long and short for any tokens offered by both Uniswap and DYDX
  • By injecting the GMX smart contracts into the frontend of Uniswap, users can trade frictionlessly and get access to greater capital efficiency

How it's Made

  • A browser extension that lets you swap on a perpetual platform from the Uniswap frontend.
  • Set leverage settings from app.uniswap.org and execute the transaction which puts in a leveraged trade on the derivatives platform.
  • Got price data from 1inch API to swap trades on arbitrum
  • Added WalletConnect within a chrome pop up to sign into wallet
  • Sign in through Metamask and accessing the window ethereum object to ensure trades work
