Market Making on Krypton: A Primer
Krypton presents a fully continuous decentralized exchange framework optimizing market making and liquidity trading to eliminate predatory trading and front-running.
What it examines
The paper explains that current trading systems incur high costs and predatory behavior harming liquidity traders. It introduces Krypton, a decentralized exchange that uses a fully continuous mechanism to assign value over time, removing front‐running and adverse selection. The study outlines optimal market making strategies with dynamic control and equilibrium analysis.
What it concludes
The study shows that Krypton’s fully continuous trading mechanism lowers execution costs and eliminates predatory practices. Competition among market makers and faster liquidity trading leads to virtuous cycles that benefit all. Potential applications include improved decentralized finance platforms, cost-efficient portfolio management, and broader access to market making for diverse investors.
Evidence objects
Researchers present Krypton, a groundbreaking fully continuous exchange mechanism that overcomes frontrunning and toxic practices by assigning continuous transaction value based on Kyle and Lee (2017) and Fischer Blacks ideas.
