bolt-lightningWhat is Bolt Liquidity?

Bolt is the first on-demand liquidity network, built to function similarly to a proprietary AMM (prop-AMM), delivering deterministic, CEX-like execution through oracle-anchored pricing and inventory-based fulfillment.

Unlike curve-based AMMs that rely on deep passive liquidity, Bolt functions closer to an RFQ / market-maker-driven execution venue. Prices are not shaped by bonding curves or pool depth. Instead, trades execute at deterministic prices derived from an oracle, provided sufficient inventory is available.

This design allows Bolt to deliver:

  • Zero curve-based slippage

  • Predictable amountIn → amountOut execution

  • Consistent pricing even for low-liquidity assets

Bolt enables high-quality on-chain execution without requiring deep TVL or continuous liquidity incentives.

How Bolt Works

Bolt operates as a managed execution layer between applications and professional market makers:

  • Pricing is oracle-anchored, not curve-derived

  • Liquidity is inventory-based and single-sided

  • Execution is independent of pool depth

  • Market makers hedge externally and replenish inventory as needed

Because pricing is decoupled from depth, a relatively small amount of inventory can support large, zero-slippage trades.

Why Bolt?

For Swap Applications

Bolt integrates as a price-stable execution venue rather than a traditional AMM pool.

  • Plug-and-play integration with existing swap interfaces

  • Deterministic pricing and improved UX

  • No need to manage complex liquidity or cross-chain infrastructure

  • Enables support for non-native and long-tail assets without heavy incentives

For LPs & Market Makers

Bolt is designed for professional market makers who want capital efficiency and predictable risk.

  • Capital is deployed only to back executable inventory

  • No impermanent loss or curve exposure

  • Single-sided liquidity simplifies operations

  • Earn fees on settlement while maintaining tight pricing
