About The Project

What is Aquarius?

Aquarius is a liquidity layer built on top of the Stellar network. Using a governance system powered by the AQUA token, holders can vote on proposals to change how the Aquarius protocol functions and vote for which Stellar DEX & AMM markets are incentivized with AQUA rewards. Top-voted markets see their liquidity providers receive hourly rewards paid in AQUA, creating a way to earn extra rewards when supporting markets on Stellar.

What's the Soroban?

Soroban is a smart contracts platform designed to be sensible, built-to-scale, batteries-included, and developer-friendly.

Soroban-powered AMMs

We plan to use Soroban to build Automated Market Maker (AMM) smart contracts and the distribution engine for AQUA liquidity rewards. AQUA rewards will incentivize users to provide liquidity to the Soroban AMM. The distribution engine will run as a set of Soroban smart contracts and will calculate and distribute liquidity rewards to LPs accordingly.

Smart Contracts

• liquidity_pool - Exchange liquidity pool based on constant product formula (xy=k)
• liquidity_pool_stableswap - Exchange liquidity pool designed for extremely efficient stablecoin trading and low risk, supplemental fee income for liquidity providers, without an opportunity cost. It allows users to trade between correlated cryptocurrencies with a bespoke low slippage, low fee algorithm.
• token - SEP-0041 compatible token smart contract designed for liquidity pool share management
• liquidity_pool_router - entry point and catalogue of liquidity pools which is capable to deploy new pools if necessary
