Auction-based DCA

Auction-based DCA is an automated trading strategy that streams budgets through continuous price auctions to optimize token execution, combining dollar-cost averaging with dynamic pricing.

How It Works

  1. The system continuously runs price auctions to find optimal execution prices

  2. Trade sizes increase when prices improve

  3. Configurable price limits protect positions from unfavorable market conditions

  4. Budget streaming occurs intelligently to minimize market impact

Key Benefits

  • Better Average Prices: Achieves better average entry prices than standard DCA or limit orders

  • Controlled Market Impact: Intelligent budget streaming prevents price slippage

  • Simple Setup: Users set clear parameters once and let the strategy work

  • Manipulation Resistant: No reliance on potentially manipulatable third-party price data

Ideal Use Cases

  • Tokens without reliable price oracles (new/niche tokens, newer networks/L2s)

  • Situations requiring manipulation resistance

  • Long-term token accumulation strategies

  • Any arbitrary token pair, including uncommon trading pairs

Technical Parameters

  • Budget amount and frequency

  • Price limits (min/max)

  • Auction duration

  • Order size parameters
