Three Pillars of Sat.is

In light of the challenges faced by traditional DEX platforms, limiting their potential for mass adoption, Sat.is introduces The Three Pillars that serve as the foundation of our platform:

Concentrated liquidity

• Eliminate High Slippage

  Unlike the traditional AMM Model, the Sat.is Order Book adopts a buy-and-sell market architecture. If you wish to purchase ETH at a specific price, you can place a limit order in the order book, and it will remain there until someone matches your bid. This ensures that what you see in your trade is what you get, eliminating any concerns of high slippage.

• Capital Efficiency

  Sat.is Order book is designed to be asset agnostic, capable of extending to EVM-compatible chains to facilitate deep liquidity into ONE order book, promoting composability and offering flexibility for a wide range of applications and participants. Sat.is also supports cross-chain collateral, meaning that you no longer have to worry about constantly bridging over, facing fragmented liquidity, or encountering issues with composability across different blockchain layers. Users can seamlessly transfer assets or data from one ecosystem to another, providing a smooth and efficient experience.

• Remote Trading

  Concentrated liquidity empowers users to engage in what is known as ‘Remote Trading’, granting them the freedom to trade from any of the supported chains based on individual preference in our trading platform. For example: you can leave your Stablecoin on Ethereum (layer 1) and trade perpetuals from zkSync Era (layer 2). This combination provides an efficient way to participate in the DEX ecosystem and enjoy the best of both worlds — the security of Ethereum and the high throughput speed of zkSync Era.

Seamless Execution

• Sat.is leverages zkSync Era to harness its high throughput and low transaction costs, enhancing order book functionality. In addition, our architecture provides a low-latency central-limit order book (CLOB) for traders looking to place limit orders and execute automated trading strategies. Moreover, the sequencer layer architecture not only facilitates swift trades but also contributes to the reduction of Miner Extractable Value (MEV) on Ethereum Layer 1.

• The combination of Sat.is’ lightning-fast performance and efficient liquidity utilization results in a trading experience that rivals top centralized exchanges, while maintaining the advantages of self-custody, transparency, and autonomy inherent to DeFi, creating an unmatched and user-friendly DEX experience.

Self-Custody

• Sat.is fundamental design revolves around its Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), resembling mechanisms found in traditional finance or CEX, but with the added perks of full decentralization and permissionless attributes. This empowers users to bypass middle parties and directly interact with a smart contract for executing trades from an order book.

• It is the utmost priority to ensure our users maintain complete control over their funds at all times. There are no central intermediaries that hold your private keys; instead, your funds are safeguarded by smart contracts while using our platform.
