Osmosis Lights Up the Market with 80% Run in Last 14 Days - The Defiant

Osmosis uses an automated market maker (AMM ) model, which means users provide the liquidity necessary for trading.

Curve employs a bonding curve designed to take advantage of its homogenous asset pools like DAI-USDT-USDC, all of which are pegged to the US dollar. 

In addition to custom bonding curves, Osmosis’ generally exhibits a bent towards customization of pools. AMM pools should function more like DAOs , meaning those providing liquidity should be able to customize the bonding curves, as well as the fee structure through governance.

The exchange has additional feautres coming down the pipe, not least of which is the integration of both ETH and BTC into the Cosmos ecosystem. ETH will come by way of something called the Gravity Bridge , which will ship within a couple weeks, according to Aggarwal.

Aggarwal is also excited about protocols that the Osmosis Foundation and Confio, which develops CosmWasm , a smart contracting platform for the Cosmos ecosystem, are collaborating to develop. The teams will build the protocols on top of Osmosis, but Aggarwal declined to state their nature.
