Smart contract automator Gelato brings liquidity management to Zerion

Published at: Aug. 3, 2021

Gelato Network, a protocol that automates smart contract executions on Ethereum (ETH), has integrated with decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator Zerion to help users better manage liquidity when interacting with decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap. 

The partnership enables Zerion’s over 200,000 monthly active users to have their Uniswap v3 positions managed automatically, Gelato Network announced Tuesday. “With this integration, Zerion has become the go-to DeFi aggregator to natively offer fungible Uniswap v3 LP positions at a massive scale,” they said.

Gelato Network has been designed to address liquidity challenges in cryptocurrency markets emanating from extreme price volatility. Wild price swings, like the kind we saw in May, make it difficult for retail liquidity providers to offer concentrated liquidity on DEXs without opening themselves up to significant risks. The company explained:

“DApps powered by Gelato Network address this shortcoming, by allowing users to have the same capabilities as professional liquidity providers by automating the process of fee compounding and rebalancing around the current price.”

Zerion has emerged as a popular aggregator in the DeFi market. It claims to have powered over $750 million in volume since its launch.

Zerion concluded a highly successful Series A funding round last month led by Mosaic Ventures with participation from Digital Currency Group and Blockchain.com Ventures.

DeFi continued to be a magnet for capital and new users in the second quarter despite a massive decline in digital asset prices. By June 30, DeFi protocols had been used by 2.91 million Ethereum addresses, according to new research by ConsenSys. Non-custodial wallets also registered significant user growth, with MetaMask recording 8.5 million monthly active users by the end of July.

Instead of taking a 'centralized only' approach, LCX exchange has adapted its model to offer centralized …

For decentralization, speed and low fees, crypto payments pioneer turns to BSC
The crypto payment solutions provider that introduced blockchain-based subscription billing to credit card-harried merchants is moving to the Binance Smart Chain. PumaPay pioneered cryptocurrency-funded payments with its PullPayment Protocol, a series of smart contracts that opens up the use of flexible billing tools like recurring subscriptions and automated account balance top-ups that actively “pull” payments from clients. By doing away with the need to ask customers to actively “push” out crypto payment every month, it gives online merchants an alternative to the high fees and restrictive rules of fiat credit card companies that were previously the only source of “set …

IDEX's ‘hybrid liquidity pool’ aims to tackle some of DeFi’s biggest problems
IDEX, a San Francisco-based decentralized exchange, has unveiled new protocol upgrades designed to solve two of the biggest issues with decentralized finance, or DeFi — slippage and front-running. The exchange claims that its Hybrid Liquidity protocol solves these challenges by combining an order book and trading engine with the liquidity pools of an automated market maker, or AMM. “The novel exchange design protects users from the most glaring pitfalls of AMMs, including failed trades and front-running, by instantly executing trades against the best combination of limit orders and pooled liquidity,” the company said, adding: “This approach generates higher returns for …
