112220 Volume Gauge Feature Specification DRAFT

Volume Gauges for DEXes

Problem Statement:

We want a way to permissionlessly track and reward ethereum accounts for bringing more volume to any decentralized investment strategy or automated market maker.

Design Requirements:

• A DexVolume customer will call exchange using the VolumeGauge contract. There is no need for deposit or withdrawals as this contract is simply to track the appropriate volume

• The VolumeGauge will call the specific Curve Pool which the customer is trading

  • We require the VolumeGauge to be able to know which pool

• The result should be as if a user directly called the specific Curve Pool directly, but now we are tracking information about the specific trade and where it came from

• The VolumeGauge will store the information about the volume traded

  • MVP info:
  • Volume traded
  • What addresses trade
  • Timestamp for each trade
  • Anything else?

• Gas Costs: We want to consume the least gas possible for these transactions as they will consume gas

• This will be OSS software and so anyone will be able to fork it and use it to collect rewards for their own audience of traders.
