PropellerHeads introduces Tycho X, inviting developers to build open-source trading applications using their DEX data infrastructure. Three initial project specifications have been released:
- Pool Explorer: Tool for exploring on-chain liquidity
- Orderbook: System to transform blockchain into a centralized limit order book (CLOB)
- Price Quoter: High-speed token pricing tool with microsecond response times
Developers working on these projects will receive comprehensive support in product development, technical implementation, and marketing efforts. This initiative builds on Tycho's foundation as an open-source liquidity indexer that simplifies DEX integration.

What can you do when you hold all DEX data locally and it's easy to use? A lot. Launching Tycho X – ideas for opens source apps on Tycho. Pick one, build it, change trading forever: github.com/propeller-head… Let's make trading trustless!
🔧 Tycho's Dynamic Contract Indexing Solves DEX Integration Headaches
**DEX Integration Challenge Solved** DEXs evolve rapidly with changing contracts, making solver integration difficult. Oracles, rebasing tokens, and Uniswap v4 hooks create complexity. **Tycho's Dynamic Contract Indexing (DCI)** - Automatically traces vaults, oracles, and pool managers for swaps - Discovers dependencies server-side and streams to clients - Enables swap simulation without RPCs - Maps dependencies dynamically as protocols upgrade **Key Benefits** - Solvers stay synced without re-engineering - Works with Balancer v3, Fluid, Uniswap v4 hooks - DEX teams get solver flow from day one - Immediate access to new DEXs for solvers [Read full blog](https://www.propellerheads.xyz/blog/tycho-dci) | [Start trading](https://docs.propellerheads.xyz/tycho) *Contact tanay_j on Telegram for DEX integration support.*
Turbine Launches as First Trustless Peer Exchange
**Turbine** is positioning itself as the first **trustless peer exchange**, marking a significant development in decentralized trading infrastructure. This peer-to-peer approach eliminates the need for intermediaries, allowing users to trade directly with each other while maintaining security through trustless protocols. Key benefits of trustless peer exchanges: - Direct user-to-user trading - Reduced counterparty risk - Enhanced privacy and control - Lower fees compared to traditional exchanges The launch represents a shift toward more decentralized trading solutions, building on the growing demand for peer-to-peer financial infrastructure that users can trust without relying on centralized authorities.
Triangle: Open-Source Arbitrage Bot Template Launches

**Triangle**, a Rust-based arbitrage bot template, eliminates weeks of infrastructure setup for atomic arbitrage trading. Built by @0xytocinX on Tycho, this **fully open-source** solution provides: - Real-time DEX state monitoring - Battle-tested simulation engine - Audited router contract - Modular pathfinding algorithms The bot automatically builds liquidity graphs, identifies profitable opportunities, and submits trading bundles. **Key features:** - Configurable bribing logic - Adjustable slippage settings - Support for backrunning trades - BuilderNet deployment options Previously, building arbitrage bots required maintaining nodes across chains, debugging DEX logic for months, and implementing complex routing contracts. Triangle streamlines this process into a simple clone-and-configure workflow. **Get started:** ``` git clone https://github.com/nonechuckX/tycho-arbitrage ``` Full specifications: [TAP-4.md](https://github.com/propeller-heads/tycho-x/blob/main/TAP-4.md) Join [tycho.build](http://tycho.build) for bot support and community resources. **Important:** Educational purposes only.

Tycho Integration Enables Multi-DEX Volume Flow Through Unichain Hooks
Tycho introduces a solution for low solver volume in Unichain hooks by enabling integration with major DEXs like UniswapX, CowSwap, and 1inch. Key features: - Single integration reaches all Tycho solvers and market makers - ~25ms block processing speed - Automatic routing through new liquidity sources - Open source library for simplified DEX integration DEX builders and lending protocols can now receive flow without individual solver pitching. Integration documentation available at [Tycho docs](https://docs.propellerheads.xyz/tycho). Workshop demonstration available at [YouTube](http://youtube.com/watch?v=TN6MfNFvfx8)
