Risk Assessment
Average
Protocol Code Quality
  • Code reviewed by several experienced auditors including CertiK and BlockSec
  • Anonymous team reduces transparency
  • No documented protocol hacks since launch
Protocol Maturity
  • Latest protocol version launched in 2022; maturity over one year minimizes technical risk as smart contracts are well battle-tested
  • Top 10% by total value locked reduces risk
  • Multisig wallet controls protocol upgrades
  • Multisig consists of less than 4 signers, which makes the protocol more susceptible to centralization risks
  • No timelock exists or no information documented, which mean a malicious actor could approve upgrades without any delay
  • Low voting power concentration reduces risk
Protocol Design
  • No death spiral concerns
  • This protocol is susceptible to risks related to decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as impermanent loss
Things to know about iZiSwap

How iZiSwap works

iZiSwap is an innovative discretized liquidity-AMM (DLAMM) model that provides efficient on-chain liquidity. The DLAMM model uses a new discrete concentrated liquidity algorithm with similar characteristics to Uniswap V3, but enables liquidity to be precisely distributed on any fixed price rather than a price range. This allows iZiSwap to be more flexible in terms of liquidity and to support more advanced trading mechanisms like limit orders. iZiSwap uses a synthetic continuous constant product with a discretized constant sum formula (x+y=k) where prices are discretized. This results in two major improvements versus Uniswap V3: reduced slippage and more accurate liquidity provision within a price range.

How iZiSwap makes money

iZiSwap charges several different fee tiers including 0.01%, 0.04%, 0.2%, and 1%. The 0.01% and 0.04% are best suited for stablecoin pairs, the 0.2% is suitable for mainstream pairs, and the 1% is mostly used for emerging tokens and/or highly volatile trading pairs. Of these pool fee tiers, 50% is distributed to the LPs, 25% is used to buyback IZI, and 25% is used to buyback iUSD.
