Algebra Co-founder Featured on The Founders Show

Algebra has released a new Access List plugin that enables decentralized exchanges to implement user permission controls. **Key Features:** - **Whitelisted users** receive full platform access including swaps, flash loans, and liquidity provision - **Non-whitelisted users** can only remove liquidity, ensuring funds remain accessible - Designed for DEXs requiring KYC compliance while maintaining decentralization The plugin is part of Algebra's modular Integral architecture, where core liquidity and swap functions remain immutable while additional features can be customized through interchangeable plugins. This approach allows DEX operators to meet regulatory requirements without compromising the security of user funds.

Algebra announced a strengthened collaboration with Arbitrum, offering battle-tested modular DEX infrastructure for custom deployments across DeFi, AI, and RWA sectors. The partnership enables Arbitrum chains to launch native DEXs using Algebra's white-label CLAMM, backed by full support and tooling. **Key developments:** - **MAIN MCP API launched** - AI agents can now launch tokens, create pools, trade, and manage liquidity programmatically onchain through a single interface at [api.main.exchange/mcp](http://api.main.exchange/mcp) - **New website live** - Revamped site features clearer positioning as leading DEX infrastructure for any EVM chain, enabling launches in weeks rather than months at [algebra.finance](http://algebra.finance) - **AI-ready architecture** - Algebra's modular plugins, dynamic fees, automated execution, and MEV-aware routing position it for machine-native markets where DEXs compete on serving autonomous orderflow - **New plugins coming** - Additional Integral plugins developed internally and with DeFi partners will be announced in coming weeks Algebra powers 100+ DEXes across EVM chains including Blackhole, Camelot, THENA, and Supernova, offering higher capital efficiency, flexible monetization, and modular upgradability through CLAMM and V4 plugins architecture.

**Tempo mainnet is now live**, offering developers the opportunity to be among the first to deploy using Algebra's technology. **Key Features Available:** - Algebra Integral's modular DEX architecture - Enhanced performance capabilities for decentralized exchanges - Access to customizable liquidity solutions Developers interested in deploying can access the integration form at algebra.finance/form/. This launch follows Algebra Integral's recent deployment powering BEAM DEX on Zeta blockchain.

Algebra's plugin architecture is positioning itself for the emerging AI-driven trading landscape with tools designed for algorithmic actors. **Key Features for Machine-Driven Trading:** - **Managed Swap Fee**: Enables automated execution without manual intervention - **Dynamic Fee Plugins**: Offers adaptive fee tiers through Dynamic, Sliding, and Whitelist options - **LVR Plugin**: Provides MEV protection combined with intent-based execution These modular tools create adaptive environments specifically built for algorithmic trading systems. The infrastructure allows DEX builders to integrate AI-native features without rebuilding their entire platform. The plugin system works by adding independent smart contracts on top of Algebra's Integral engine. Each pool can run one plugin at a time, with the ability to swap plugins seamlessly without moving liquidity or redeploying contracts. This approach addresses a growing need as AI agents become more active in DeFi markets, requiring infrastructure that can respond dynamically to machine-driven trading patterns.

**Algebra Labs** tested its **Dynamic Fee** mechanism against static fees using real ETH/USDT data from 2025. The results show adaptive fees outperformed matched static fees by generating **~3.5% more cumulative fees** for liquidity providers. **Key findings:** - Dynamic Fee achieved **18.0% fee APR** vs. 16.9% for static fees at the same average level - The mechanism adjusts fees based on market volatility—keeping them low during calm periods to attract organic traders, and raising them when arbitrage risk increases - Performance remained consistent across parameter ranges, indicating robustness **How it works:** The system distinguishes between two trader types: - **Noise traders** (organic users) generate real revenue and prefer competitive fees - **Arbitrageurs** extract value from LPs through price misalignments Algebra's **Sliding Fee** plugin complements this by targeting repeated same-direction trades (typical arbitrage patterns) while preserving low fees for natural users—improving LP outcomes by up to 15% in certain conditions. **The trade-off:** Static fees remain simpler and work well in low-volatility environments. But when markets move, adaptive mechanisms capture more value without overcharging users. Algebra powers 90+ DEXes including Camelot, THENA, and QuickSwap. [Learn more](https://algebra.finance/)
