## Overview We developed an adaptive liquidity mining multiplier for eckoDEX that dynamically adjusts rewards based on real-time market conditions. This novel mechanism uses: - **Stochastic modeling** of asset volatility - **Pool health metrics** (Volume/TVL ratio) - **Time-decay factors** for long-term sustainability The system automatically compensates LPs for impermanent loss while preventing reward over-emission. ## Key Features - **Self-Adjusting Multiplier**: - Sigmoid-based response curve bounded between [0.3, 0.7] - Real-time adaptation to: - Pool diluted volume (Volume/TVL) - Price rate volatility (Δa/b) - Time since launch decay factor - **Impermanent Loss Mitigation**: - Compensates 83-97% of IL through optimized KDX rewards - Non-linear reward curves prevent gaming - **Monte Carlo Verified**: - 30,000 simulated pool scenarios - Validated across KDA/BTC, KDA/ETH, KDA/kFRAX pairs ## Technologies Used - **Python**: - NumPy/Pandas for financial modeling - SciPy for sigmoid optimization - Stochastic process simulations - **Pact**: - On-chain multiplier logic - Verifiable reward calculations - **TypeScript**: - Frontend visualization of multiplier effects - Real-time LP dashboard - **C#**: - Backend analytics pipeline - Market data processing ## Challenges and Learnings 1. **Volatility Modeling**: - Discovered price rate volatility (a/b) more predictive than individual asset volatility - Developed novel β-adjustment mechanism for sigmoid response 2. **Simulation Complexity**: - Modified Brownian motion to account for: - Cross-asset correlations - Liquidity depth effects - Arbitrageur behavior patterns 3. **Boundary Conditions**: - Implemented convex combinations to enforce: - Minimum reward floor (0.3x) - Maximum reward ceiling (0.7x) - Prevented reward cannibalization during high volatility This project demonstrates how advanced stochastic modeling can create sustainable DeFi incentive mechanisms.
