Concepts
The x/gamm
module implements an AMM using:
- Balancer style pools with varying amounts and weights of assets in pools.
- Stableswap pools have liquidity centered around a given spot price. See here for the spec of the Furya implementation.
Here we will explain basic GAMM concepts and give an overview of how GAMM module's code is organized to support both type of pools.
Pool
Creation of Pool
At an initial creation of the pool, a fixed amount of 100 share token is
minted in the pool and sent to the creator of the pool's account. The
pool share denom is in the format of gamm/pool/{poolID}
and is
displayed in the format of GAMM-{poolID}
to the user.
Pool assets are sorted in alphabetical order by default.
Pool creation is possible only for at least 2 and no more than 8 denominations.
PoolCreationFee
needs to be paid to create the pool. This also keeps
us safe when it comes to the malicious creation of unneeded pools.
Joining Pool
When joining a pool without swapping - with JoinPool
, a user can provide the maximum amount of tokens TokenInMaxs
they're willing to deposit. This argument must contain all the denominations from the pool or no tokens at all,
otherwise, the tx will be aborted.
If TokenInMaxs
contains no tokens, the calculations are done based on the user's balance as the only constraint.
The front end takes care of the
calculation of how many share tokens the user is eligible for at the
specific moment of sending the transaction.
Calculation of exactly how many tokens are needed to get the designated
share is done at the moment of processing the transaction, validating
that it does not exceed the maximum amount of tokens the user is willing
to deposit. After the validation, GAMM share tokens of the pool are
minted and sent to the user's account.
Joining the pool using a single asset is also possible with JoinSwapExternAmountIn
.
Existing Join types:
- JoinPool
- JoinSwapExternAmountIn
- JoinSwapShareAmountOut
Join types code call stack and structure:
Exiting Pool
When exiting a pool, the user provides the minimum amount of tokens they
are willing to receive as they are returning their shares of the pool.
However, unlike joining a pool, exiting a pool requires the user to pay
the exit fee, which is set as a param of the pool. The user's share
tokens burnt as result. Exiting the pool using a single asset is also
possible.
Exiting a pool is possible only if user will leave a positive balance for a certain denomination after exiting
or positive number of LP shares.
Otherwise transaction will be aborted and user will not be able to exit a pool.
Therefore, it is not possible to "drain out" a pool.
When exiting a pool with a swap, both exit and spread factors are paid.
Existing Exit types:
- ExitPool
- ExitSwapExternAmountOut
- ExitSwapShareAmountIn
Exit types code call stack and structure:
Swap
During the process of swapping a specific asset, the token the user is
putting into the pool is denoted as tokenIn
, while the token that
would be returned to the user, the asset that is being swapped for,
after the swap is denoted as tokenOut
throughout the module.
Given a tokenIn
, the following calculations are done to calculate how
many tokens are to be swapped into and removed from the pool:
tokenBalanceOut * [1 - { tokenBalanceIn / (tokenBalanceIn + (1 - spreadFactor) * tokenAmountIn)} ^ (tokenWeightIn / tokenWeightOut)]
The calculation is also able to be reversed, the case where user
provides tokenOut
. The calculation for the amount of tokens that the
user should be putting in is done through the following formula:
tokenBalanceIn * [{tokenBalanceOut / (tokenBalanceOut - tokenAmountOut)} ^ (tokenWeightOut / tokenWeightIn) -1] / tokenAmountIn
Existing Swap types:
- SwapExactAmountIn
- SwapExactAmountOut
Spot Price
Meanwhile, calculation of the spot price with a spread factor is done using
the following formula:
spotPrice / (1 - spreadFactor)
, where spotPrice
is defined as:
(tokenBalanceIn / tokenWeightIn) / (tokenBalanceOut / tokenWeightOut)
Spot price
Multi-Hop
The multi-hop logic is handled via x/poolmanager
module.
Please see for details:
Weights
Weights refer to the how we weight the reserves of assets within a pool.
Its often convenient to think of weights in terms of ratios, so a 1:1
pool between "ATOM" and "BTC" is a pool where the spot price is
#ATOM in pool / #BTC in pool
.
A 2:1 pool is one where the spot price is
2*(#ATOM in pool) / #BTC in pool
. This weights allows one to get the
same spot price in the pool, with fewer ATOM reserves. (This comes at
the cost of having higher slippage, e.g. buying 10 atoms moves the price
more than a 1:1 pool with the same BTC liquidity).
Within the state machine, we represent weights as numbers, and the
ratios are computed internally. So you could specify a pool between
three assets, with weights 100:30:50, which is equivalent to a 10:3:5
pool.
The ratios provided in a CreatePool message, or governance proposal are
capped at 2^20. However, within the state machine they are stored with
an extra 30 bits of precision, allowing for smooth changes between two
weights to happen with sufficient granularity.
(Note, these docs are intended to get shuffled around as we write more
of the spec for x/gamm. I just wanted to document this along with the
PR, to save work for our future selves)

- SpreadFactor -
The spread factor is the cut of all swaps that goes to the Liquidity Providers (LPs) for a pool. Suppose a pool has a spread factor
s
. Then if a user wants to swap T
tokens in the pool, sT
tokens go to the LP's, and then (1 - s)T
tokens are swapped according to the AMM swap function.
- ExitFee -
The exit fee is a fee that is applied to LP's that want to remove their liquidity from the pool. Suppose a pool has an exit fee
e
. If they currently have S
LP shares, then when they remove their liquidity they get tokens worth (1 - e)S
shares back. The remaining eS
shares are then burned, and the tokens corresponding to these shares are kept as liquidity.
- FutureGovernor -
Furya plans to allow every pool to act as a DAO, with its own governance in a future upgrade. To facilitate this transition, we allow pools to specify who the governor should be as a string. There are currently 3 options for the future governor.
- No one will govern it. This is done by leaving the future governor string as blank.
- Allow a given address to govern it. This is done by setting the future governor as a bech32 address.
- Lockups to a token. This is the full DAO scenario. The future governor specifies a token denomination
denom
, and a lockup duration duration
. This says that "all tokens of denomination denom
that are locked up for duration
or longer, have equal say in governance of this pool".
- Weights -
This defines the weights of the pool - https://balancer.fi/whitepaper.pdf
- SmoothWeightChangeParams -
This allows pool governance to smoothly change the weights of the assets it holds in the pool. So it can slowly move from a 2:1 ratio, to a 1:1 ratio.
Currently, smooth weight changes are implemented as a linear change in weight ratios over a given duration of time. So weights changed from 4:1 to 2:2 over 2 days, then at day 1 of the change, the weights would be 3:1.5, and at day 2 its 2:2, and will remain at these weight ratios.
The GAMM module also has a PoolCreationFee parameter, which currently is set to 100000000 ufury
or 100 FURY
.
Migration Records
Migration records are used to track a canonical link between a single balancer pool and its corresponding concentrated liquidity pool. There is a single MigrationRecords
object for the entire gamm module that consists of many BalancerToConcentratedPoolLink
objects. Each balancer pool can be linked to a maximum of one concentrated liquidity pool, and each concentrated liquidity pool can be linked to a maximum of one balancer pool. The entire MigrationRecords
object can be either replaced through governance via ReplaceMigrationRecordsProposal
or specific pool links can be added/removed/modified through governance via UpdateMigrationRecordsProposal
(similar to how incentives are replaced and updated).
