Sliding Fee

Overview

The sliding fee is calculated for each swap based on the price change of the last block and the swap direction. The fee is increased if the direction of the trade matches with the direction of the price change of the previous block, and decreased for swaps in the opposite direction. DEX sets the initial value of the fee, which is used as the base value for calculating the sliding fee. DEX can also set the coefficient of the price change impact on the fee value.

ZeroToOne and oneToZero feeFactors were introduced to keep track of fee changes. FeeFactors is changed to feeFactorImpact at each swap depending on the price movement. If the price of the pair has increased, oneToZeroFeeFactor will be increased and zeroToOneFeeFactor will be decreased and vice versa. FeeFactorImpact is calculated by the following formula.

$$feeFactorImpact = (currentPrice/lastPrice - 1) * priceChangeFactor$$

$$slidingFeeValue = feeFactor * baseFee$$

How to configure sliding fee

Contract Interaction

To set default baseFee, it is necessary to call pluginFactory.setDefaultBaseFee(uint16 newDefaultBaseFee), where newDefaultBaseFee is fee value in hundredths of a bip, i.e. 1e-6 (so 3000 is 0.3%)

To change the base fee of a specific pool, it is necessary to call the corresponding function of the plugin connected to the pool.

plugin.setBaseFee(uint16 newBaseFee)

To change the priceChangeFactor of a specific pool, it is necessary to call the corresponding function of the plugin connected to the pool. PriceChangeFactor is coefficient in thousandths(so 1000 is 1)

plugin.setPriceChangeFactor(uint16 newPriceChangeFactor)
