🔓 Fynd Launches Open-Source DeFi Routing with Ethereum Foundation Grant

A trading bot called Stabiliser completed a 60-day live test on Ethereum mainnet, trading the ETH/USDC pair with notable results: **Performance Metrics:** - **+9.55% profit** in USD terms (after gas costs) - **32% outperformance** vs. simply holding ETH - Executed during a period when ETH declined 22% **Trading Activity:** - ~1,500 trades executed - Selected from 18,000 identified opportunities - Ran on mainnet before public release The bot demonstrated its ability to generate positive returns in a declining market by actively managing positions rather than holding static assets. The strategy's selectivity—executing only 8% of identified opportunities—suggests a disciplined approach to trade execution.

**Stabiliser**, an open-source bot built on Tycho, automates peg maintenance for stablecoin teams and arbitrage traders. The tool handles the repetitive work of: - Integrating with DEXs - Monitoring price feeds - Managing trade execution - Tracking performance metrics Built entirely in Rust, Stabiliser watches a reference price and automatically trades on DEX pools to push prices back toward the peg. This eliminates the need for teams to build custom keeper bots from scratch. [View documentation](https://tycho-stabiliser.gitbook.io/docs/) | [Track performance](https://stabiliser.vercel.app)

**DEXs are now competing in auction-style bidding wars** for your trade orderflow, fundamentally changing how decentralized exchanges operate. **The New DEX Auction Model** To win trades, DEXs must: - Know market rates they can bid - Monitor competitor quotes - Bid strategically without overpaying - **Keep bids private** **Strategic Adaptations** - DEXs colocate with solvers to dynamically outbid competitors - Increased programmability through v4 hooks and concentrated liquidity - LPs help fine-tune pools for maximum volume and profit **Price Freshness Tactics** DEXs align with fast traders through: - **Angstrom**: Auctions trading rights at block tops - **Uniswap Protocol Fee Discount**: Fee-free trading auctions Both incentivize traders to update pool prices to latest market rates. **Competitive Secrecy** DEXs now: - Keep code private - Share quotes only with select aggregators and builders - Make competition harder for rivals This represents just the beginning of evolving DEX competition strategies.

**Wraxyn breaks silence** on using Tycho as their competitive advantage for solver operations. Most Tycho users keep their usage private, but Wraxyn decided to share how they leverage the platform to: - **Win more volume** on UniswapX - **Optimize performance** on CoWSwap - **Gain solver advantages** through Tycho's edge **Why Tycho matters:** Tycho standardizes data from multiple DEXs like Curve and Balancer, following ERC 7815 standards. This eliminates the need for solvers to adapt routing logic to different DEX interfaces. **Key benefits:** - Seamless data streaming - Unified DEX interface - Simplified solver operations Wraxyn's transparency offers rare insight into how professional solvers gain competitive advantages in the MEV landscape.
