Limit orders enable a trader/user to set an entry/exit at specific price levels. This is best to avoid price volatility and execute trades at a lower fee generally. Spot market orders may be easier to perform but due to price slippage, volatility and higher fees, sometimes you may not be able to purchase or exit at the exact price level you intend to. Hence, unless it is an emergency or instant requirement to enter/exit, limit orders are preferred over spot market orders in a smart trading strategy.
What makes FELO different from limit orders on other platforms?
Limit orders on most popular platforms are a form of delayed swap where the order is first stored on a centralized database and then arbitrage is conducted when the price is right. This is why you will have limit orders unfilled even if the price has crossed your target on such platforms.
Kromatika's FELO is a 100% decentralized limit order. No info is stored on any centralized database. Once the limit order is activated, then the Chainlink Keepers get to work monitoring the price for the user 24/7. It is basically a "set and forget" type mechanism where the user can switch off his computer and be assured the order will be executed once the target price is crossed. This could be days/hours/weeks - depending on the target price and market movements.
The other benefits are:- no bot attacks- no price slippage- no swap fees
On top of the above-mentioned benefits, the user will earn LP fees when price enters his price range. This is due to the concentrated liquidity tech of Uniswap v3, where the user now is a liquidity provider in that specific price range.
Summary: Fully automated, fully decentralized limit order with bot protection, no swap fees, no slippage, and the ability to earn LP fees when the market price enters a user-specified price range is what FELO is all about.
How was Kromatika Born?
Kromatika was founded on the idea of solving a problem. The problem is the lack of an innovative/efficient limit order feature in the DEX space. The existing offers were all expensive, slow, inefficient trade fills, and actually functioned as a “delegated delayed swap”.Kromatika harnessed the power of Uniswap V3 by automating the process of providing liquidity. So any trade on Kromatika FELO (fees earning limit order) is in effect on top of Uniswap V3. The trade is then settled off-chain by a decentralized network of Chainlink Keepers. For the first in the Ethereum Ecosystem, a trade could place a limit order with full MEV bot protection, no price slippage, and the ability to earn LP fees on top of his limit order (thanks to Uniswap V3 technology). In time, Kromatika has added multiple other products to its arsenals such as the powerful MetaDex Aggregator, Gasless Swaps, and Perpetual Trading.
Kromatika is governed by the Kromatika DAO which decides the future of this project by giving ideas to improve Kromatika in a way that benefits the whole crypto community.
