Profitable Market-making With Correlated Token Pairs
Challenge
To successfully make markets using the project's own token and a correlated asset (e.g. the token underpinning the blockchain network they trade on) rather than depleting the treasury's valuable store of stable coins.
Solution
Market-make the project token with their network token. The goal is to use the project's own token (high supply low value) and grow the network token.
Result
Despite operating in declining market conditions, H20's strategies delivered the following performance with zero slippage and no gas costs to the strategy deployer:
TKN/WPOL: 600+ trades on Polygon with 157.7k TKN and 15.4k WPOL volume, 25.98% ROI in WPOL (benchmarked against the token pair), increased WPOL holdings by 2,724 in under 60 days. Strategy maintained optimal spreads throughout market volatility.
TKN/WPOL: 100+ trades on Polygon with 14.52k TKN and 7.8k WPOL volume, 708.96% ROI in WPOL, increased WPOL by 2,481 in under 15 days (56.7% APY). Performance achieved despite significant market downturn.
TKN/WETH: 60+ trades on Base with 0.46 WETH and 175.4k TKN volume, 12.08% ROI in WETH, increased WETH by 0.2 in under 20 days. Strategy executed efficiently without requiring gas payments from the deployer.
