🧵 Ever ordered a smoothie only to find half your fruit purée siphoned off by a thirsty bystander? Welcome to DeFi 2025, where swaps feel like that. #Barterhood found a better recipe 🍹
1) This AMM keeps all of its pools inside a single contract and defers token transfers until the end of each transaction, which reduces gas costs, liquidity providers set very fine price ranges, and permissionless extensions such as dca orders, limit orders and oracles plug in without fragmenting liquidity. It applies the same fee to swaps and withdrawals, funnels all protocol revenue into buy‑backs of its native token, and divides its fixed supply of ten million tokens evenly among the community, the team and a public sale
Now let’s unwrap the chocolate bar and see what flavours it holds 🍫
2) Meet the @EkuboProtocol bar 🍫
Start with a classic milk‑chocolate base, add plump blueberries for bright bursts of sweetness and wrap it all in soft purple suede. Hidden underneath is a secret sauce that yields the highest APRs for providers and keeps swap fees among the lowest
3) The protocol’s mainnet went live on Starknet on August 26, 2023. Just over two weeks later, an integration with the AVNU aggregator and shortly afterwards with Fibrous meant the bulk of Starknet’s trading volume began to route through this single‑contract AMM 🚀
4) From May 24 to July 23, 2024, the DAO sold 3,269,920 tokens via its own DCA mechanism, raising a diversified treasury while giving the community a fair entry price of around US$1.02 per token. In June 2024 the protocol’s governance was formally handed over to token holders, and a surge of community and core‑team proposals followed 📈
5) The development company asked the DAO for a two‑year operating grant in July 2024. On February 14, 2025, an audit of all Starknet contracts concluded, carried out by Plainshift, with Nethermind and ABDK later auditing the core and extensions strengthening security ahead of expansion 🛠️
6) An alpha version launched on Ethereum in January 2025, with the full contract code and oracle extension while governance remained on Starknet. On March 17, 2025, version 2 went live, delivering more than 30% gas savings and integrating with aggregators ParaSwap, Kyber Network, Matcha and PropellerHeads 🌐
7) All withdrawal fees flow back into token buy‑backs: by August 13, 2025 the DAO had repurchased more than 197,000 tokens about 2 % of the supply and cumulative protocol revenue exceeded US$1 million. Developers continue to build permissionless extensions like on‑chain limit orders and long‑term DCA pools to broaden use cases for this AMM ✨
