Arbswap — Liquidity, Routing & Execution on Arbitrum

Arbswap Overview: Architecture & Execution Model

Arbswap is a non-custodial DEX and router on Arbitrum. The route planner inspects AMM liquidity (Arbswap v2 stable and volatile pools) and may add pivots via deep pairs to minimize impact. Where integrated, RFQ quotes can be compared against AMM routes. Settlement is recorded on-chain — your keys, your custody.

Arbswap Core Components

• Route Planner: Evaluates single-hop, multi-hop, and split-route paths; penalizes gas-heavy paths by L2 gas + L1 data cost.
• Pool Models (Arbswap v2): Stable curve for correlated assets; volatile constant-product for non-correlated pairs.
• Execution Kernel: Packs approvals + swap calls, enforces strict min-out, and fails fast on adverse re-quotes.
• Risk Controls: Token allow/deny lists, target contract checks, and a minimal-allowance policy.

Best Execution — What We Actually Optimize

• Price impact: Stable pivots and order-splitting smooth large trades.
• Explicit fees: Pool fee tiers + any interface/partner fees are included in the math and surfaced in the UI.
• Gas: L2 gas + L1 data costs are weighed against extra hops; we optimize by net, not headline quotes.
• Fill risk: Prefer firm liquidity where available; retry with fresh quotes when markets turn choppy.

Arbswap Exchange MEV-Aware on Arbitrum

Use realistic slippage, private/builder RPC where available, chunk large orders, and increase the priority tip during load. These practices reduce mempool time and the surface for sandwiching.

Arbswap Security & Operational Safety

Arbswap Exchange settles directly to your wallet on Arbitrum. Treat your process like production: verify contracts, minimize approvals, and sanity-check the route preview before you sign.

Wallet & Allowance Hygiene

• Prefer a hardware wallet for meaningful balances; confirm spender/amount on-device.
• Approve only the minimum required; revoke stale allowances regularly.
• Bookmark official Arbswap links; avoid search-ad impostors and unsolicited “support” DMs.

Threat Model & Mitigations

• Sandwich / front-run: Tight slippage, private relays, split orders, and higher tips during bursts.
• Impostor tokens: Match addresses in an Arbitrum explorer and official docs; never trust tickers/icons alone.
• Fee-on-transfer tokens: They affect min-out; validate with a micro-swap first.

Arbswap Power Features for Traders & Integrators

Smart Order Routing (Arbswap v2)

Direct A→B, hub pivots (e.g., A→WETH→B), and split-routes are compared by effective price after gas and fees. The router mixes Arbswap v2 stable/volatile legs when it improves the net result.

Arbswap v2 Limit Orders & DCA (if enabled)

• Limit: Execute at or better than a target price; expect partials/expiry during volatility.
• DCA: Stagger entries/exits to reduce timing risk; ensure gas balance across legs.

Developer Notes

• Deterministic calldata with explicit revert reasons (slippage/allowance/route invalidation).
• Events: hops, fee breakdown, min-out, gas used, realized output for analytics.
• UX: surface pool type, fee tier, and token verification status near the action button.

Execution KPIs

• Quoted ↔ Realized Output (delta after settlement).
• Effective price = received/spent after L2+L1 costs.
• Pooled depth & 24h/7d volume as a slippage proxy.
• Fail/Cancel rate to retune slippage and RPC endpoints.

Runbook: Consistent Results on Arbswap

Before You Swap

• Keep ETH for Arbitrum gas (and implicit L1 data costs).
• Verify token addresses/decimals; be cautious with transfer-tax tokens.
• Do a micro-swap to validate route behavior and min-out.

Arbswap Slippage & Gas

• Majors / deep stables: 0.10–0.50%.
• Mid-caps / average depth: 0.50–1.50% depending on liquidity.
• Illiquid: 1.50%+; split orders or consider a stable pivot.

Arbswap Bridge — Safe On/Off-Ramp

• Use official Arbswap Bridge links or reputable partners; beware look-alikes.
• Bridge a test amount first; confirm the destination token on an Arbitrum explorer.
• Bring extra ETH for approvals after bridging; note that L2→L1 withdrawals may be delayed.

Troubleshooting

• INSUFFICIENT_OUTPUT_AMOUNT → refresh quotes, widen slippage modestly, or split size.
• TRANSFER_FROM_FAILED → re-approve the minimum; check for non-standard token logic.
• Pending too long → switch RPC or raise the priority tip; use private relays where available.
