Overview
Automated market makers price assets algorithmically using liquidity pools. Design choices — curve shape, concentrated liquidity, dynamic fees, oracle outputs — determine capital efficiency, impermanent loss and resilience. We design and implement AMMs for specific asset types (volatile pairs, stable pairs, RWAs) with LP tooling and analytics.
Common use cases
- Stable asset AMMLow-slippage pools for pegged assets.
- Concentrated liquidityCapital-efficient ranges.
- RWA liquidity poolsPermissioned pools for tokenized assets.
- Dynamic fee AMMFees adapting to volatility.
Quick answers
AMM Development at a glance
The essentials in brief. Every project is scoped individually — ask us for specifics.
- What is AMM development?
- Automated market maker design and implementation — curves, concentrated liquidity, fees, oracles and LP tooling.
- Who is it for?
- Typically Web3 startups, fintechs adding digital assets, and institutions exploring tokenization, stablecoins or on-chain settlement.
- What does Shivacha provide?
- Curve design
- Concentrated liquidity
- Dynamic fees
- TWAP oracles
- LP tooling
- Simulation
- Which technologies are used?
- Solidity, Foundry, Chainlink, Blockchain Oracles, ERC-4626, Ethereum — chosen to fit your stack and constraints.
- How does the process work?
- Mechanism design → Risk modelling → Contract engineering → Off-chain systems → Launch.
- What affects the cost?
- Contract complexity and number of chains
- Custody and wallet model
- Independent audit scope
- Indexing, analytics and back-office tooling
- Compliance integrations (KYC, AML, Travel Rule)
- Upgradeability and governance requirements
- How long does it take?
- A focused contract system or dApp MVP typically takes 8–14 weeks plus independent audit time; institutional platforms usually take 4–9 months.

Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Mechanism design
Pricing, collateral, liquidation and incentive mechanics specified and simulated.
- 2
Risk modelling
Parameter selection with stress tests against historical and extreme scenarios.
- 3
Contract engineering
Audit-ready implementation with invariant and fork testing.
- 4
Off-chain systems
Keepers, liquidation bots, indexers and dashboards.
- 5
Launch
Guarded launch with caps, monitoring and staged parameter changes.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Specification first
Roles, invariants and threat model documented before code.
Adversarial testing
Fuzz, invariant and fork tests plus static analysis on every change.
Key management
Admin keys in multisig or MPC with timelocks on sensitive actions.
Independent audit
Code prepared for — and we recommend — an external audit before mainnet value.

Frequently asked questions
What is impermanent loss?
The value difference LPs experience versus holding assets when prices move. Curve design and fees affect its magnitude.
Can AMMs be permissioned?
Yes, with hooks or access controls that restrict participation to eligible addresses.
Can you fork an existing protocol?
We can build on established open-source designs where licences allow, but forks inherit assumptions that may not fit your market. We review and adapt the mechanics rather than copying blindly.
Do you design token incentives for DeFi?
Yes, with an emphasis on sustainable, simulated incentive programs rather than short-term liquidity mining that leaves when rewards end.
