Integral: A Revolutionary DeFi Concept

Integral introduces a groundbreaking DeFi concept that focuses on efficiently executing large orders. With its functional product already in place, Integral is poised to capture the specific segment of large client trading volume within the DeFi space.

The Visionaries Behind Integral

Founded by a pseudonymous and self-funded core team, Integral brings together early crypto investors, startup founders, mathematicians, hedge fund managers, and data scientists. The project also boasts notable advisors such as Rob Leshner (@Compound), Tarun Chitra (@Gauntlet), Framework Ventures, and Polychain Capital.

The Unique Advantage of Integral

What sets Integral apart from its competitors is its pioneering approach to executing large orders in the DeFi ecosystem. By relying on an average price derived from an oracle's data over a specific time period (Uniswap's 5-minute TWAP), Integral effectively reproduces the methodology employed by centralized exchanges in processing large orders that are split and executed gradually.

To ensure competitive pricing and minimal price impact, Integral replicates the order book and automated market maker (AMM) functionality of leading centralized and decentralized exchanges. This creates a highly liquid environment conducive to executing large orders with ease.

The OB-AMM: Unleashing the Potential of Liquidity

Integral's innovative AMM design revolutionizes liquidity by separating it into two components: depth (order book depth, AMM shape) and capital (the actual amount of LP asset in the order book or AMM). By mirroring order books from esteemed exchanges like Binance and Uniswap, Integral achieves the same depth with significantly lower capital requirements.

Protecting LPs from Impermanent Loss

One of Integral's primary objectives is to minimize the impact of impermanent loss for liquidity providers (LPs). Through the implementation of a Trade Delay and price oracle, Integral empowers LPs by deterring sure-profit traders (such as arbitrageurs and front-runners) who trade on the platform. By eliminating guaranteed profits, these traders are incentivized to seek opportunities elsewhere, ensuring a Mean-0 IL profile for LPs that oscillates around 0.
