Have you ever felt frustrated while trading an asset in the DeFI Platform? If yes, keep reading. In this blog series of Future of DeFi Trading, we will address a common pain point of many traders in the DeFi World - Slippage.

Have you tried swapping one asset to another in a DeFi Platform and received only less than what is displayed? Then, you have experienced slippage.

What Exactly is Slippage? ​

Slippage occurs when there is a difference between the expected price of a trade and the executed price.

This usually happens during periods of high volatility or when large orders are placed. In our previous article, we explored how liquidity pools function. Essentially, these pools act as a collective basket containing two assets, facilitating asset swaps in a decentralized setting. When one asset in the pool experiences a surge in demand, and there isn't enough liquidity to maintain the price at which you intend to execute the trade.

Let's take Alice as an example. Imagine Alice wants to swap 1000 USDT for 1000 USDC, expecting a 1:1 trade. However, due to slippage, she ends up receiving less than 1000 USDC. This difference can be frustrating and costly, especially for frequent traders.

Mettalex Zero slippage Trading!​

How does Mettalex address this issue? With our unique peer-to-peer (P2P) order book DEX, we eliminate the need for traditional liquidity pools. Here's how it benefits you:

At Mettalex, traders like Alice and Bob can set up trades directly with each other. This direct trading mechanism bypasses the need for liquidity pools, thereby eliminating slippage. When Alice wants to trade 1000 USDT for 1000 USDC, she receives precisely what she sees—no surprises.

Mettalex leverages Fetch.AI AI agent technology to match trades efficiently. These agents operate autonomously, ensuring that every trade executes at the intended price, regardless of market volatility. This provides a fairer trading environment and enhances user experience by providing price certainty.

Benefits to Users​

• Transparency and Fairness: Every trader receives the exact amount they agree to during the trade, fostering a more trustworthy environment.
• Cost Efficiency: Eliminating slippage means traders no longer lose money on unexpected price changes. This is particularly beneficial in high-stake trades.
• Simplicity and Accessibility: Our platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for newcomers like Alice to trade without worrying about the complexities of slippage and liquidity pools.

Explore the future of DeFi trading with Mettalex today. Sign up to join our private beta release, join our vibrant community, and experience the benefits of zero-slippage trades for yourself.

At the heart of blockchain lies decentralization. Where transactions happen directly without the oversight of any central authorities. Yet, reality is different where it is patchwork on different isolated networks—introducing Mettalex's AI Agent, which provides a solution to bridge this isolated/divided network not with fancy infrastructure but with Intelligence and Autonomy. Let us deep dive into this blog series of Future of DeFi Trading about AI Agents and how mettalex march towards decentralization.

AI Agents: The Unseen Workforce of Decentralized Trading​

AI Agents are like personal Assistants, like Jarvis in the Marvel Universe or Batman's loyal butler, Alfred. They operate silently in the background, executing tasks with precision and dedication. Deployable anywhere by anyone.

You can deploy your AI Agents on any system, such as your PC, laptop, smartphone, or even Raspberry Pi board, and start Autonomous trading.

AI Agents don't rely on third-party services, ensuring that your trading strategies remain autonomous, anonymous, and, most importantly, in your control.

Mettalex: Empowerment Through Ownership​

In Mettalex, you're not merely a user; you're the ruler of your realm. AI agents belong exclusively to you, executing trades, implementing trading strategies you define, monitoring market conditions on your behalf, and seamlessly executing trades across various blockchains, all while ensuring anonymity and autonomy.

A Simple Example: Alice and Bob's Decentralized Trade​

Imagine Alice wants to trade her Ethereum for Bob's Bitcoin. In a conventional setup, this would involve navigating complex exchanges, dealing with slippage, and paying hefty fees.

With Mettalex, Alice and Bob deploy their AI agents (wherever they prefer), which autonomously find the best trade conditions and execute the exchange directly, without intermediaries or a single point of failure. Think of all your agents forming a network like Torrents do, they are autonomous and interconnected with independent strategies enabling decentralization. But here they are smart; agents execute trades on your behalf while you remain in full control.

As we march towards a truly decentralized future, Mettalex stands at the forefront, harnessing the power of AI agents to dismantle the barriers that have long kept blockchain networks apart. We invite you to join us by signing up for the private beta release.

In the world of cryptocurrency, each blockchain operates like its own unique universe. For instance, Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) are like two countries with their own rules, currencies, and communication methods. As you can imagine, sending assets from one to another isn't straightforward—there's no direct line of communication between these networks. In this Mettalex Future of DeFi Trading blog series, we will dive deep into how mettalex can securely and efficiently trade assets across different blockchains.

Current Cross-Chain Trading Mechanisms ​

Let's use our classic example of Alice and Bob as our guides to walk through this blog of cross-chain trading. Let us assume that Alice has Ethereum (ETH) and wants to trade Bitcoin (BTC) with Bob. They can trade themselves directly, But in this Decentralized world, it is difficult to understand the other party's requirements or find matching trades. Hence, they likely use a bridge, which locks up Alice's ETH and issues a token on the Bitcoin network representing her ETH, and then Bob trades his BTC for that token. However, the token Alice receives “ETH” on the Bitcoin blockchain would be a “Wrapped” one that carries the same significant value as the token/coin on the native chain.  Sounds simple, right? Well, keep reading for real challenges.

The Bridge Dilemma​

However, bridges are far from perfect. They are like international airports, which require a lot of security and maintenance to operate smoothly.

Quick Bites: Crypto Bridges hacks account for more than 70% of the total attacks in the blockchain industry, as per Chainalysis, a major blockchain firm. Check here: https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/cross-chain-bridge-hacks-2022/.

This comes at a huge security cost and high transaction costs, and it requires constant monitoring of smart contracts to mint and release assets in another blockchain, which is even more costlier when operating a bridge.

Mettalex: A New Era of Cross-Chain Trading​

Enter Mettalex, making the need for bridges obsolete for cross-chain trading.

Imagine if Alice and Bob could communicate directly through a translator—this is what Mettalex does with AI agents.

The agents form a network of their own, in which they communicate with each other.

Let us take the example of Alice and Bob from earlier. Now, with the introduction of agents as a layer, when Alice locks ETH on Ethereum to trade with BTC, Alice’s agent now communicates with the agent network in search of an agent whose owner wants to trade BTC with ETH. Here, Alice’s agent stumbles upon Bob’s agent. This discovery is independent of blockchains from which assets belong. Once both alice and bob’s agent agree to trade (which they do autonomously) they execute the orders independently and transfer funds to opposing accounts. This means Bob now receives ETH on ethereum while Alice receives BTC on bitcoin network.

Why Mettalex is better​

• No More Bridges: Directly trade assets between chains without exhausting bridging processes.
• Security and Efficiency: Eliminate the security risks and high costs associated with traditional bridges.
• Empowerment for All Traders: Whether you're like Alice, with just a bit of ETH, or Bob, looking to diversify his BTC, Mettalex provides a platform where anyone can participate in the DeFi space efficiently and safely.

Mettalex isn't just another DeFi platform. It is a groundbreaking revolution in the DeFi space, And our AI agents are facilitating seamless, direct trades across different blockchains. Don't just take it from ourside. Join it yourself by signing up for our private beta release.

Introducing Mettalex - The World's first Peer-to-Peer Order book and Agent-based #DEX Powered by Fetch.ai Agent technology. Providing superior market access also ensures "zero slippage" (what you see is what you get ) during trades by eliminating the Liquidity pools (LPs). Let us deep dive into this blog series to understand key concepts and unique features of how mettalex replaces conventional Liquidity pools.

What are Liquidity Pools (LPs)? ​

Let's use the classic example of Alice and Bob to understand in detail what are Liquidity pools.

Suppose Alice wants to Trade/ swap some crypto asset like BTC (Bitcoin) for Bob's ETH (Ethereum). In the traditional market, they would trade directly. However, in many decentralized platforms (DeFi), you would have to create a basket (Liquidity pool) filled with BTCs and ETHs contributed by the decentralized community. This basket/liquidity pool helps Alice and Bob or anyone who trades BTCs and ETHs anytime at the market price.

Problems with current Liquidity pools​

Even though the Liquidity pool looks lucrative and handy, it is not what it is; it comes with various short-comes like:

Slippage: Liquidity pools must rely on other individuals to fill in the basket / Pools with assets, which can often lead to shortages. What if the quantity of the assets in the pool relative to the trade is low, which creates an imbalance that leads to "Slippage"? Where Alice ends up getting fewer assets and at a price which is different that expected.

No Liquidity pools available: Limitations kick in when there are no LPs for assets you wish to perform. For example, if Alice wants to swap BTC for XRP, but there aren't LPs available at the moment, Alice has to swap BTC for USDT First and USDT for XRP second, which puts Alice to execute two different trades. This results in Alice paying twice the gas fees and possibly getting fewer assets than expected.

Impermanent Loss: Those who fill in with the basket often face "impermanent loss." Suppose in a basket / LPs of BTC/ETH if the value of one asset skyrockets in this price /value people would put in ETH to withdraw BTC might create an impermanent loss for the LP Providers.

Mettalex: Smart way to do trades​

With Mettalex, we thought - why complicate things? If Alice and Bob want to trade/swap assets directly from peer to peer without basket / LPs, there should be no middlemen.

Mettalex peer-to-peer order book and AI agent-based DEX powered by Fetch.ai agent technology allows Alice and Bob to trade directly/swap assets by its innovative order matching AI Agents, which execute trades/swaps on your behalf without the need for conventional liquidity pools, thus eliminating the slippage, impermanent loss—just simple and direct trading.

It enables cross-chain trading for individuals even if the traders are on different blockchain ecosystems. This allows significant expansion of the trading ecosystem, thus scaling the opportunities for the traders.

Mettalex offers to trade all digital assets like crypto, commodities and tokenized tangible world assets.

Why Mettalex is better​

No Liquidity pools: Just two parties/members can trade assets without needing someone to create a liquidity pool; irrespective of pairs, trades can happen.

Empowering smaller trades: Empowering the community and allowing small traders to participate in decentralized finance without losing much on the fees and slippage.

Unprecedented expansion ecosystem for the traders:​

Cross-chain cross-assets: Mettalex offers trades across different blockchain ecosystems at ease without the need to identify the routes or look out for the security of the bridges.

Improved Inclusion: supporting smaller and larger traders in the ecosystem, ensuring equal access to DeFi opportunities.

Mettalex isn't just another DeFi platform. It is a revolution in the future of decentralized trading. Mettalex offers a solution that's efficient, fair, and accessible to everyone. Whether you're Alice, Bob, or someone looking to trade without a headache. Sign up for the private beta release and get a chance to try out Mettalex.

Ongoing Discussions with Multiple Exchanges for MTLX Listing​

We are thrilled to inform you that discussions are ongoing with multiple exchanges to list our MTLX token. This is a strategic move aimed at increasing liquidity, enhancing price discovery, and giving more users access to our token.

Discussion on Regulations​

We're actively engaged in discussions around regulatory considerations to ensure that we remain compliant and adaptable to the evolving landscape. While we can't share specifics at this time, please know that we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of trust and security for our community.

Security Middleware​

In light of the increasing threats in the decentralized world, we are developing a Security Middleware layer that will add an extra layer of protection for all transactions happening on the Mettalex platform. We’re in the final stages of testing and you can expect to see it integrated soon.

Technical Documentation [V1 in Review]​

The first version of our technical documentation is nearing completion and is currently under review. This comprehensive guide will include architecture diagrams, user journeys, and more to provide a detailed understanding of the Mettalex system. We're committed to keeping it updated regularly, and we aim to release it soon.

3rd Party Strategy Implementation on Agents [Strategy V1]​

Currently working on enabling third-party strategy integration with our agents. This will allow users to deploy strategies on cloud services like AWS or GCP and interact through predefined endpoints. The aim is to give agents the ability to act based on these user-defined strategies.

Testing the System with Multiple Agents​

We have been rigorously testing the system with multiple agents to identify any areas of improvement. This allows us to make timely updates and ensure a seamless user experience.

Event Fetcher Library for Fetch Network Event Polling: Made it More Generic​

We've enhanced our Fetch Network Event Polling library, initially developed for Mettalex. It now has broader capabilities to efficiently fetch and filter network events for diverse use cases.

We plan to introduce this updated library alongside a blog post, aiming to provide a useful tool for the wider Fetchai developer community.

Agent persistence​

To improve our system’s robustness, we have been working on implementing agent persistence. This feature will ensure that the agents running various operations on the Mettalex platform can be shut down and re-instantiated again without any breaking changes to the system.

Private Demos to Potential Partners​

We’ve been busy showcasing the capabilities of Mettalex to potential strategic partners. These private demos are a key step toward broadening our ecosystem and establishing partnerships that add value to our community.

We appreciate your continued support and engagement. These updates are aimed at making Mettalex more resilient, efficient, and user-friendly. Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the coming month.

What is Mettalex? A P2P Agent-based DEX, employing an order book model, is built upon the Fetch.ai blockchain using Agent-based technology.

Hello Mettalex Enthusiasts! Welcome back to another eagerly anticipated community update. As Mettalex continues to embark on its groundbreaking journey, we’re here to keep you closely aligned with what's happening behind the scenes. Let’s take a look at the latest advances and challenges that our team has encountered this month as they work to shape the future of decentralized trading.

Key Updates​

Contract Factory: In our architecture, each Agent will have their own contract. This solution enables the creation of a contract from the Contract Factory itself. Moreover, in the spirit of fostering innovation, we're excited to announce that we will soon make this code open-source! This will empower the developer community to reuse the code and take it as a reference for writing contract factories for their own projects.

Event Polling: Another exciting development is the implementation of event polling which retrieves events from the Fetch blockchain and notifies the Agent to undertake subsequent actions. This is crucial in ensuring that the agents are always in sync and responsive to the state of the blockchain. Like the Contract Factory, we are also planning to make this code open-source for the community.

Agent Factory (Work in Progress): Our ongoing task is the Agent Factory which will allow every user to create their own Agent within the project, in just a few clicks. Not only will this make the process streamlined, but it will also be possible to view agents on Agentverse, the Fetch,ai Agent explorer.

Performance & Code Optimization: As Mettalex evolves, we are constantly tuning and optimizing the performance of our platform to ensure a seamless and efficient experience for all users.

UI/UX Refinement: User experience is at the heart of what we do, and we have been working on refining the UI/UX elements of Mettalex. This is to ensure that the platform is not only functional but also intuitive and aesthetically pleasing.

Strategy Implementation Within Agents [V1: 3rd party strategy implementation]: We’re excited to unveil this new development which will transform the way users interact with agents on Mettalex. What does this mean? Well, agents on Mettalex are now becoming smarter and more powerful. With this new integration, users can implement custom trading strategies directly within their agents. This is a game-changer as it automates the trading process based on pre-set rules and criteria without the need for constant monitoring.

Mettalex website revamp: The Mettalex team is currently working on updating the website. We aim to keep things fresh and ensure that all the content is up-to-date.

Feature Addition: As we continue to enhance the Mettalex platform, we are excited to share some new features that have been added to improve trading experience. These features are designed to give more control and flexibility over trading activities. Here’s what’s new;

Cancel Order: We understand that trading conditions can change rapidly and sometimes you might need to change your trading plans. The 'Cancel Order' feature allows you to swiftly cancel any pending orders if you decide that it's the best course of action.

Partial Trading: Partial trading means that your trade will patch with a partial order as well and no need to wait around till an exactly matching opposing order comes into play. This feature will be greatly beneficial for large order amounts.

Trade with Preferred Agent: Customization and preference play a vital role in a trader's journey. The new 'Trade with Preferred Agent' feature lets you select a specific Agent to trade with. This gives you more control over your trading experience, allowing you to align your trades with the agents that best suit your trading style and objectives. We believe these additions will greatly enhance your trading experience on Mettalex and empower you to trade more efficiently and strategically. We’re always keen to hear your feedback, so don’t hesitate to let us know what you think!

Conclusion: We are grateful for the support of our community. As pioneers, innovating the DeFi space, the dedication and insight from everyone involved are what propel Mettalex forward. With each step, we’re closer to realizing the vision of a more robust, secure, and revolutionary trading ecosystem. Don’t forget to join the conversation on our social media platforms and, as always, keep your eyes peeled for the next exciting community update. Until then, stay curious.
