At Flood, we integrated hundreds of pools and are familiar with dozens of CFMMs. with Univ4, it will be easy to make your own AMM, but for volume, you’ll need to attract searchers and aggregators. Here are 6 do’s and don’ts to make your AMM aggregator/searcher friendly 👇

the limit order problem is when solvers give you the minimum allowed by your intent instead of the market price, this is why uni x, cowswap, etc... whitelist solvers we solve this by turning the problem on its head, we expose solver preference rather than user preferences

Idea: A Flood Zone segmenting toxic flow for LPs The Zone knows its users (think a wallet), and the pool can charge low fees to trades from the zone as they're non toxic flow and high fees to everyone else

Requires locking liquidity but passive LPs that auction off exclusive swapping rights is an interesting design space Since it cuts out mev leak to ETH validators, top searchers could bid more than LPs earn today Easy to build with v4 hooks

One key assumption here seems to be that intent execution is not verifiable, which is not the case for most use cases people care about! (ex trading) If you can easily verify an intent was executed optimally, then its fine if the executors are a small set, like in a zk rollup

1/ The paper goal is to research how "costly effort", congestion and entry costs affect intent markets. Focusing on the "maximum output intent", that is receiving as much token as possible when swapping What happens to user welfare with competition and costly effort?

Francesco 🌊

4/ Long story short: 1. No costs: competition is unbounded and user get good outcomes 2. Entry costs: new entrants are deterred. The Pareto distribution is an exception, as solvers try to make it regardless of entry costs 3. Congestion: reducing competition between solvers helps!

There are 3 actors: - Users, generating orderflow - Zone owners, owning the orderflow, like wallets, frontends, protocols... - Fulfillers, acting on this orderflow. Flood makes the relationship between those 3 actors explicit. In a sense, Flood is THE marketplace for orderflow.

To solve this, protocols like UniswapX and Cowswap exists, but they force developers into their own predefined rules and permissioned set of Fulfillers. This is not great, because it neglects the most important actor in the orderflow supply chain, orderflow owners.

solvers provide liquidity on a virtual CFMM (can be a limit order), and we settle user orders by routing optimally on this CFMM and onchain liquidity Solvers must take market risk, and users always get at least the onchain optimal price, thus the solver set can be open
