Uniswap X

Overview

Uniswap X is a new permissionless, open-source, auction-based protocol for trading across AMMs and other liquidity sources. Our solver infrastructure provides comprehensive support for Uniswap X's intent-based architecture, enabling efficient order filling through sophisticated routing and execution strategies.

Using our Solution

Our Uniswap X solver integration enables:

• Dutch Auction Filling: Participate in Uniswap X's Dutch auction mechanism for competitive order execution
• Cross-chain Intent Solving: Handle cross-chain intents with optimal routing across different networks
• Multi-source Liquidity: Aggregate liquidity from AMMs, order books, and other sources for best execution
• Real-time Optimization: Process and evaluate intents with microsecond-level precision
• Capital Efficiency: Execute intents using flash loans and advanced routing without inventory requirements

Solution Overview

The Uniswap X solver integration leverages our high-performance solving infrastructure to participate in Uniswap X's filler network. The system can evaluate and fill intents across multiple chains while optimizing for both user outcomes and filler profitability.

Uniswap X Protocol Integration

Dutch Auction Mechanics

Uniswap X uses Dutch auctions where order prices improve over time until filled:

1. Intent Creation: Users create intents with starting and ending prices
2. Price Decay: Order becomes more favorable to fillers over time
3. Filler Competition: Fillers compete to execute at optimal timing
4. Cross-chain Settlement: Support for cross-chain intent execution

Intent Types Supported

• Exact Input Swaps: Specify exact input amount, variable output
• Exact Output Swaps: Specify exact output amount, variable input
• Cross-chain Swaps: Intents spanning multiple blockchain networks
• Limit Orders: Traditional limit order functionality via Dutch auctions

Architecture Integration

Our solver infrastructure integrates with Uniswap X through several key components:

Intent Monitoring

• Real-time Intent Streaming: Monitor new intents as they're created
• Price Tracking: Track Dutch auction price decay in real-time
• Profitability Analysis: Continuous evaluation of intent filling profitability

Cross-chain Coordination

• Multi-chain Route Discovery: Find optimal execution paths across chains
• Bridge Integration: Coordinate with cross-chain bridges for settlement
• Gas Optimization: Optimize gas costs across multiple transactions

Settlement Optimization

• Batch Execution: Combine multiple intents for efficient execution
• MEV Protection: Protect users from MEV while maintaining filler profitability
• Slippage Minimization: Minimize execution slippage through advanced routing

    pub async fn fill_intent(&self, intent: Intent) -> Result<FillResult> {
        // Evaluate current auction price
        let current_price = self.dutch_auction_evaluator
            .get_current_price(&intent)
            .await?;

            // Execute intent filling
            let fill_result = self.execute_fill(&intent, &route).await?;
 
            Ok(fill_result)
        } else {
            Err(anyhow::anyhow!("Intent not profitable at current price"))
        }
    }
 
    pub async fn handle_cross_chain_intent(
        &self,
        intent: CrossChainIntent,
    ) -> Result<CrossChainFillResult> {
        // Coordinate execution across chains
        let execution_plan = self.cross_chain_coordinator
            .plan_execution(&intent)
            .await?;
 
        // Execute on origin chain
        let origin_tx = self.execute_origin_chain(&execution_plan).await?;
 
        // Execute on destination chain
        let dest_tx = self.execute_destination_chain(&execution_plan).await?;
 
        Ok(CrossChainFillResult {
            origin_transaction: origin_tx,
            destination_transaction: dest_tx,
            bridge_proof: execution_plan.bridge_proof,
        })
    }
}

Dutch Auction Evaluation

The system continuously evaluates Dutch auction prices for optimal filling timing:

1. Price Calculation: Calculate current auction price based on time decay
2. Profitability Assessment: Evaluate expected profit at current price
3. Timing Optimization: Determine optimal filling time balancing profit and competition risk
4. Risk Management: Account for price movement and execution risks

    // Check if profitable
    if expected_output >= current_price.min_output {
        // Execute with flash loan if needed
        if route.requires_capital {
            self.execute_with_flash_loan(intent, &route).await
        } else {
            self.execute_direct(intent, &route).await

pub async fn execute_cross_chain_intent(
    &self,
    intent: &CrossChainIntent,
) -> Result<CrossChainExecution> {

    let execution_plan = CrossChainExecutionPlan {
        origin_chain: intent.origin_chain,
        destination_chain: intent.destination_chain,
        bridge: self.select_optimal_bridge(&intent).await?,
        origin_route: self.find_origin_route(&intent).await?,
        destination_route: self.find_destination_route(&intent).await?,
    };
 
    // Execute on origin chain
    let origin_result = self.execute_on_origin_chain(&execution_plan).await?;
 
    // Wait for bridge confirmation
    let bridge_proof = self.wait_for_bridge_proof(&origin_result).await?;
 
    // Execute on destination chain
    let destination_result = self.execute_on_destination_chain(
        &execution_plan,
        &bridge_proof,
    ).await?;
 
    Ok(CrossChainExecution {
        origin_result,
        destination_result,
        bridge_proof,
    })
}
