# 🔀┃Trading

## Exchange

Anyone can exchange tokens on the Radix network for another by using Ociswap's platform. In the process, Ociswap optimally routes funds across the various available liquidity pools to offer users the best price and return rate.&#x20;

### Fees on Ociswap

When you make a swap on Ociswap, you'll pay a trading fee. This fee varies depending on which pool you're using, but it's typically between 0.01% and 1%. On top of that, there's a small XRD gas fee on the Radix network to cover the costs of processing the transaction.

### Price Impact

Price impact is the gap between the current market price and the expected trade price. It mainly depends on the users trade size compared to the pool's liquidity. As more tokens are bought from the pool, the token's price goes up, resulting in an adverse price change known as price impact.

### Slippage

Slippage is the difference between the expected price of a trade and the actual price at which the trade is executed. It often occurs in situations of high market volatility or low liquidity when there is a mismatch between the expected price and the price at the time of execution.&#x20;

Slippage can result in trades being filled at prices less favorable than initially anticipated. By setting the *slippage tolerance*, traders define the acceptable range within which they are willing to execute a trade.&#x20;


# 💦┃Liquidity Pools

Discover the available liquidity pools on Ociswap. Understand the mechanics and benefits of the DEX.

Liquidity pools are like shared pots of tokens where DeFi users can deposit their assets. These pools power decentralized exchanges, allowing users to trade directly without intermediaries. By providing assets to these pools, contributors (liquidity providers) can earn rewards.&#x20;

These liquidity pools use pre-programmed mathematical formulas and rules to determine the transaction prices, pool balances and user rewards.

{% hint style="info" %}
Overall, Ociswap categorizes pools into two distinct types:&#x20;

* [**Ociswap Pool V2**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/pool-v2)
* [**Ociswap Precision Pool V2**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/precision-pool-v2)

These liquidity pools can be modified by [**Hooks**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/hooks).
{% endhint %}


# Pool V2

Discover the mechanics of Ociswap Pool V2 and the benefits of providing liquidity on Ociswap.

## **What is a Pool V2?**

Ociswap Pool V2 (<mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark>) uses Radix's native "[Resource Pools](https://docs-babylon.radixdlt.com/main/scrypto/native-blueprints/resource-pools.html)" as a building block. In particular, it utilises the *TwoResourcePool (*<mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark>*)*, which is a liquidity pool that contains a pair of digital assets (e.g. `$XRD/$OCI`). This<mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark>holds the market's liquidity for a single pool and is exclusively managed by its corresponding <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark>.&#x20;

By making use of the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark>, the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> can provide [pool units](https://www.radixdlt.com/blog/using-native-pools-and-pool-units-for-intuitive-liquidity-provider-ux) (LP-tokens) that are fully compatible with the official Radix Wallet. This ensures a great user experience, because the Radix Wallet transparently showcases the underlying tokens, while allowing users to seamlessly access and intuitively manage their funds at all times.&#x20;

## Pool V2 Features

* **Swaps:**\
  The <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> uses a Constant Product Automated Market Maker formula to create a market and calculate prices and trading outputs.
* **Trading Fees:**\
  The <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> charges trading fees on each swap, with the fee tier selected during pool creation. Creators can choose from 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3%, or 1% fee tiers to optimize for different trading patterns. For each trade, fees are distributed with 85% rewarding liquidity providers and 15% supporting protocol growth. Trading fees automatically accrue to liquidity providers of the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark> and are included when they redeem their position.
* **Auto-Compounding:**\
  The <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> consistently reinvests the trading fees back into the liquidity pool. This boosts returns and creates a hassle-free experience for liquidity providers.
* 🔜 **Price Oracle:**\
  On-ledger pool-based oracles provide users with accurate and tamper-resistant price data. The oracle calculates the price of tokens based on the trading dynamics and liquidity ratios within these pools.
* 🆕 **Hooks:**\
  Users can execute custom code before and after certain events within the liquidity pool, such as swaps or liquidity updates. This capability allows for a wide range of innovative applications and functionalities on Ociswap. [Learn more](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/hooks).
* 🆕 **Flash Loans:**\
  Users may borrow assets from a liquidity pool without providing collateral, under the condition that the loan is borrowed and repaid within the same transaction. Flash loans allow users to capitalize on discrepancies in prices across different exchanges (arbitrage), swap one collateral type for another without closing a position (collateral swap), or pay off debts to avoid liquidation (self-liquidation).
* 🆕 **Imbalanced Ratios:**\
  Users can customize the asset ratio within a pool, which can range from 5/95 to 5/95 and anything in-between. This enables liquidity providers to have more control over their exposure to specific assets.

## How do Pool V2 work?

To understand the design concepts of the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark>, it's crucial to grasp which functions are provided by the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark> and how the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> is built around it:

> 1. **Instantiate Pool**\
>    Allowing users to create a <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> with a corresponding <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark> to hold its liquidity.
> 2. **Add Liquidity**
>
>    Allowing users to provide liquidity to a <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark>, which is deposited into the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark> using its *`Contribute`* function. Liquidity is provided in token pairs, matching the pool's ratio.
> 3. **Remove Liquidity**\
>    Allowing users to withdraw their liquidity from the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> via the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark>'s *`Redeem`* function.&#x20;
> 4. **Swap**\
>    Allowing users to execute trades through the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark>. During the swap, the <mark style="color:green;">`OP`</mark> utilises the *`Protected Deposit`* and *`Protected Withdraw`* functions of the <mark style="color:purple;">`TRP`</mark> to amend its token holdings.

# Precision Pool V2

Discover the mechanics of Precision Pool and the benefits of providing liquidity on Ociswap

## What is a Precision Pool V2?

Ociswap's Precision Pool (<mark style="color:green;">`PP`</mark>) lets users concentrate their liquidity within specific price ranges. This allows users to strategically target where their funds are utilized in the market.&#x20;

These pools can be more efficient because liquidity isn't wasted on wide price ranges where little to no trading activity happens. Users have the flexibility to adjust their price ranges as the market changes, allowing them to react to new information or trends.

{% hint style="warning" %}
While <mark style="color:green;">`PP`</mark> can offer higher fee earnings due to increased capital efficiency, it also potentially increases the risk of impermanent loss if the market price moves significantly within or outside these chosen ranges. [*Learn more*](https://learn.radixdlt.com/article/what-is-impermanent-loss)*.*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Precision Pool V2 Features

* **Swaps:**\
  The <mark style="color:green;">`PP`</mark> uses a Constant Product Automated Market Maker formula to create a market and calculate prices and trading outputs.
* **Trading Fees:**\
  The <mark style="color:green;">`PP`</mark> charges trading fees on each swap, with the fee tier selected during pool creation. Creators can choose from 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.3%, or 1% fee tiers to optimize for different trading patterns. For each trade, fees are distributed with 85% rewarding liquidity providers and 15% supporting protocol growth. Liquidity providers can claim their earned fees at any time.
* 🔜 **Price Oracle:**\
  On-ledger pool-based oracles provide users with accurate and tamper-resistant price data. The oracle calculates the price of tokens based on the trading dynamics and liquidity ratios within these pools.
* **Hooks:**\
  Users can execute custom code before and after certain events within the liquidity pool, such as swaps or liquidity updates. This capability allows for a wide range of innovative applications and functionalities on Ociswap. [*Learn more*](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/hooks)*.*
* **Flash Loans:**\
  Users may borrow assets from a liquidity pool without providing collateral, under the condition that the loan is borrowed and repaid within the same transaction. Flash loans allow users to capitalize on discrepancies in prices across different exchanges (arbitrage), swap one collateral type for another without closing a position (collateral swap), or pay off debts to avoid liquidation (self-liquidation).
* **Imbalanced Ratios:**\
  Users can customize the asset ratio within a pool, which can range from 80/20 to 98/2 or any other ratio. This enables liquidity providers to have more control over their exposure to specific assets.

## How do Precision Pool V2 work?

### Ticks

To understand the design of the <mark style="color:green;">`PP`</mark>,  it's crucial to grasp the concept of so-called *ticks*. This term refers to specific price points within a trading pair's price range. Ticks play a role in calculating the pool's price at any given moment, how deep the liquidity is, and the impact trades have on token prices.

Ticks are required for liquidity providers to target their liquidity more precisely, as they're used to define the boundaries of the price intervals where liquidity can be concentrated in liquidity positions. When a position is created, the provider must choose the lower and upper tick that will represent their position's boundary.

### Active Liquidity and Management

Liquidity becomes 'active' or 'inactive' as the market price crosses tick boundaries. This is marked as '<mark style="color:green;">in range</mark>' or '<mark style="color:red;">out of range</mark>' within the Ociswap interface. This mechanism ensures that liquidity is only engaged and earning fees when within the specified tick-range set by the provider.

As price moves in one direction, liquidity providers gain more of the one asset as swappers demand the other, until their entire liquidity consists of only one asset. If the price ever reenters the interval, the liquidity becomes active again.

Managing ticks (i.e., deciding where to place liquidity in relation to existing and potential future ticks) is a strategic consideration for liquidity providers seeking to optimize their returns and manage their exposure to price volatility.

# Hooks

### Overview

Hooks are smart contract interfaces that provide privileged access to the internal mechanics of Ociswap liquidity pools. They enable developers to build plugins that can execute code at specific points during pool operations.

### Key Features

* Hooks can execute before and after swaps, or during liquidity updates.
* They have their own component address and functions.
* Hooks can be imported at the creation of a liquidity pool.
* They open up new possibilities for innovation without building a complete DEX from scratch.

### Implementation

1. Hooks must implement standard methods (specifics to be provided).
2. Developers can customize the logic to suit their application.
3. Hooks are added to new pools at creation (cannot be added to existing pools).

### Limitations

* Hooks cannot call their own pools (reentrancy protection).
* Hooks can only be added to new pools, not existing ones.

### Use Cases

Hooks can be used for various applications, including but not limited to:

1. Dynamic Fee Pools
2. Lending Liquidation (LLAMMA)
3. Conditional Access Control
4. Automated Portfolio Rebalancing
5. Time-Weighted Average Market Maker (TWAMM)
6. Limit / Range Orders
7. Arbitrage for Price Stabilization

### Best Practices

* Focus on unique ideas and let Ociswap handle core DEX functionality
* Consider computational efficiency in hook design
* Ensure hooks don't introduce security vulnerabilities


# 🌊┃Liquidity Incentives

Learn how to maximize rewards as a liquidity provider.

Liquidity providers of Ociswap can receive several types of rewards:

> * **Trading Fees**
> * [**SPLASH emissions**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/splash)
> * [**Community SPLASH emissions**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/community-splash)
> * [**Project Ignition**](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/project-ignition)


# SPLASH

Delve into Ociswap's liquidity incentives program.

A common issue in DeFi is liquidity mercenarism, where users aggressively switch from one liquidity mining campaign to another for short-term gains. From the standpoint of the protocol, this is essentially borrowing or temporarily acquiring liquidity, but it leaves the protocol without lasting benefits.&#x20;

To address this, Ociswap uses a call-option mechanism that gradually fills the protocol treasury. These funds are reserved for future development, ensuring long-term sustainability of the platform. This model gives Ociswap a strong financial foundation for continuous growth, which encourages liquidity providers to become loyal to the Ociswap ecosystem.&#x20;

## SPLASH 1.5

While SPLASH 2.0 is being developed and audited, SPLASH 1.5 serves as an interim liquidity mining campaign.

{% hint style="warning" %}
SPLASH 1.5 parameters have been update as per 20th of March 2024. These updated terms and conditions will be effective from the Wave starting on the 25th of March, 2024, and thereafter.
{% endhint %}

> **Key Details \***
>
> * **Wave Duration:** 7 days, starting Monday at 0:00 UTC and ending Sunday at 23:59
> * **Eligibility:** all liquidity providers of the [highlighted liquidity pools](https://ociswap.com/splash) on Ociswap that hold ≥ 500 [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci) during the entire Wave. Only liquidity in the new [Ociswap Pool V2](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/pool-v2) and [Ociswap Precision Pool V2](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/precision-pool-v2) is eligible for SPLASH.
> * **Rewards:** 100,000 [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci) per Wave (and any potential rewards via [Community SPLASH](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/community-splash))
> * **Distribution:** pro rata

Noteworty change from SPLASH 1.0: the veteran bonus has been discontinued.&#x20;

*\*Ociswap reserves the right to modify parameters as deemed necessary between individual Waves.*

## SPLASH 2.0

{% hint style="info" %}
The SPLASH 2.0 system will only commence after the involved components have been audited by Hacken. The code has already been submitted, meaning the audit is currently pending.
{% endhint %}

As teased in our [blog post](https://ociswap.com/blog/development-update-ocinomics), the liquidity incentive system of Ociswap was revamped and rebranded as SPLASH 2.0. This new system is designed to attract liquidity to the platform, discourage mercenary practices, establish and sustain a protocol treasury and ensure deep liquidity for [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci). A total of 60 million [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) is reserved for distribution through this concept.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/9Jk2eJ1kdUSGownVrBUI" alt=""><figcaption><p>A schematic overview of the SPLASH 2.0 liquidity mining incentives.</p></figcaption></figure>

### SPLASH pools

When users **provide liquidity and lock** assets in dedicated OCI/XRD liquidity pools (also known as SPLASH pools), they obtain a non-fungible token called [`$SPLASH`](/ociverse/tokens/splash).&#x20;

### SPLASH NFT

[`SPLASH`](/ociverse/tokens/splash) contains '**voting power**', which is used to determine which liquidity pools are eligible for additional rewards in the form of liquidity incentives. The amount of voting power is calculated based on the initial amount of [`OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci) that were locked and the chosen lockup duration. A longer lockup period symbolises increased loyalty and commitment to the platform, resulting in a higher voting power multiplier.

<table><thead><tr><th>Lock Duration</th><th width="254">Multiplier Bonus</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>30 days</td><td><em>TBA</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>60 days</td><td><em>TBA</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>90 days</td><td><em>TBA</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>180 days</td><td><em>TBA</em></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>360 days</td><td><em>TBA</em></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

After locking liquidity in one of the SPLASH pools, the position is set into an auto-lock state. Users can opt out of this state at any time by manually requesting the tokens to be unlocked. However, once users choose to unlock their underlying tokens, their voting power gradually decays to zero until all tokens are completely unlocked. This measure is implemented to ensure that protocol voters act in the best interest of the platform. Users with less remaining commitment (i.e., lower voting power due to a shorter lock duration) have a reduced impact on voting decisions.&#x20;

### Waves

Users can employ their voting power within gauges, which operate on a weekly cycle known as '**Waves**.' During these Waves, users have the opportunity to vote by allocating their voting power to one (or more) of Ociswap's liquidity pools at their own discretion.&#x20;

The outcome of these gauges determines the allocation of [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci)[ ](/ociverse/tokens/ooci)liquidity incentives among the liquidity pools.&#x20;

#### Voting

[`SPLASH`](/ociverse/tokens/splash)  is the key to deciding which liquidity pool gets [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) emissions on Ociswap. The community can use their voting power to influence this decision. This is simply done by allocating voting power to the liquidity pool(s) of their preference. The more votes a pool gets, the more [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) it receives.

#### Bribes&#x20;

Bribes are like incentives offered by anyone to influence the voting process towards a specific pool. It's a useful way for external projects to encourage people to add their token to Ociswap's liquidity pools. Essentially, it's a simple way for third parties to shape their own campaign for liquidity mining.

### `$oOCI` rewards

Based on the voting results of the previous Wave, the [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) reward tokens are proportionally allocated to the liquidity providers of the selected liquidity pools. 90% of these rewards can be claimed by the respective liquidity providers who have SPLASH voting power. The remaining 10% can be claimed by liquidity providers who do not participate in SPLASH.

To calculate the reward for each individual liquidity provider, the following math formula is used:

> *TBA*

Converting `$oOCI` to `$OCI`

The [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) token functions as a **soulbound call option** that enables users to acquire OCI at a reduced price from a dedicated contract. This discount is variable and depends on the quantity of [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) accessible within this contract.

The[`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) available in this contract can originate from two sources:

1. Protocol emissions (liquidity incentives allocations)
2. Third-party contributions, where external parties offer their [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) for sale through this contract.

To acquire the discounted [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci), users use XRD as payment. The XRD payment is directed to either the [treasury ](/ociverse/treasury)or the individual who provided their OCI for sale.


# Community SPLASH

Liquidity Mining as a Service

The Community Module is an extension of the ever-evolving [SPLASH](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/splash)-campaign. It can be considered the solution to any DeFi project on the Radix Network that seeks to boost their token liquidity and enhance price stability, without having to design a full-fledged liquidity mining campaign. The Community Module eliminates this time-consuming hurdle, allowing projects to enter the Radix market more efficiently while retaining focus on their own project.&#x20;

By partaking in the complimentary Community initiative, projects gain access to the SPLASH liquidity mining toolkit, which enables them to seamlessly incentivise their token's liquidity on the Ociswap DEX.&#x20;

### Liquidity Mining&#x20;

The Community Module is centralized. In practice, this implies that Ociswap will oversee your liquidity incentives prior to distributing them to the liquidity providers of your project's liquidity pool.

To safeguard the integrity of our operations, all transactions relating to the Community initiative can be monitored at the following address:

> account\_rdx16yxq22h5wr2q4qhj63q3veh45p09tc3e40983ft2my965k7htp04c2

All the assets in the above mentioned address will be distributed to the liquidity providers of the corresponding pools, alongside the SPLASH-wave rewards. This enables users to easily identify which projects are providing additional liquidity incentives for the SPLASH-wave that's currently active.

Important for your project and community: Only liquidity in the new [Ociswap Pool V2](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/pool-v2) and [Ociswap Precision Pool V2](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-pools/precision-pool-v2) is eligible for [SPLASH](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/splash) and Community SPLASH.

### Joining Ociswap's Community SPLASH

# Project Ignition

Project Ignition is an initiative dedicated to enhance liquidity provision in the Radix ecosystem.

Project Ignition is a $10 million liquidity initiative  for the Radix Network aimed at enhancing liquidity for key digital assets such as `$USDC`, `$USDT`, `$wBTC`, and `$ETH`.&#x20;

> **Core Concepts of Project Ignition:** [(full details and terms & conditions)](https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/6053f7fca5bf627283b582c2/65c3bfd9846b7773b8dd7148_project-ignition-details.pdf)
>
> * **Liquidity Matching:** for every dollar provided as liquidity in `$USDC`, `$USDT`, `$wBTC`, and `$ETH`, an equal amount of `$XRD` is added. This effectively doubles the liquidity on offer.
> * **Trading Fees:** liquidity providers not only earn trading fees over the amount they provided but also over the matched amount.&#x20;
> * **Upfront XRD Rewards:** liquidity providers receive an immediate bonus in `$XRD` after locking the provided tokens. Depending on the chosen lock-up period, this bonus can amount to 20% of the provided liquidity.
> * **Impermanent Loss Protection:** liquidity providers are safeguarded from `$XRD` impermanent loss and are guaranteed asset value protection against outperformance of the provided asset relative to `$XRD`.

## 🔥 Ociswap's Ignition Bonus

Ociswap offers an extra **4 million** `$OCI` as bonus to liquidity providers that participate in Project Ignition through the Ociswap platform. This additional bonus will be distributed pro rata over the course of 8 weeks at a rate of 500k `$OCI` per week.

{% hint style="success" %}

* All Ignition liquidity providers are eligible for liquidity incentives from the [SPLASH](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives/splash) campaigns.&#x20;

# 💲┃Tokens

Ociswap's tokens

Ociswap utilizes a three-tier token model, where both fungible and non-fungible tokens are used. This model encourages different participants to take on various roles within the ecosystem. By using this diverse approach, a balanced system is established that promotes active involvement, leading to the platform's growth and long-term sustainability.

> * [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/oci)
> * [`$SPLASH`](/ociverse/tokens/splash)
> * [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci)
> * $sXRD


# OCI

Learn about Ociswap's OCI token.

{% hint style="success" %}
$OCI Resource ID:

resource\_rdx1t52pvtk5wfhltchwh3rkzls2x0r98fw9cjhpyrf3vsykhkuwrf7jg8
{% endhint %}

## Utility

Holders of `$OCI` tokens can participate in the platform's decision-making process by securely locking their tokens in designated OCI/XRD pools. In return, participants receive a unique [`$SPLASH`](/ociverse/tokens/splash) position that represents voting power. [Click here](https://docs.ociswap.com/ociverse/tokens/pages/7BtJqrdfmYn7t5PTdUQ5#splash-2.0) to learn more.&#x20;

## Supply

The total supply of `$OCI` is capped at 100 million fungible tokens. This number is fixed and cannot be altered, ensuring no additional tokens can be minted and none can be burned. For the circulating supply, see the [token page](https://ociswap.com/resource_rdx1t52pvtk5wfhltchwh3rkzls2x0r98fw9cjhpyrf3vsykhkuwrf7jg8/info).

### Allocation

<table><thead><tr><th>Allocation</th><th width="149">Percentage</th><th>Amount (OCI)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Liquidity Incentives</td><td>60%</td><td>60,000,000 </td></tr><tr><td>Community Incentives</td><td>24%</td><td>24,000,000</td></tr><tr><td>Marketing and Development</td><td>6%</td><td>6,000,000</td></tr><tr><td>Founder Retention</td><td>10%</td><td>10,000,000</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Vesting schedule

The founder tokens will be vested, meaning they can't be accessed all at once. This is scheduled to take a couple of years and begins with a waiting period where the team gets no tokens. This waiting period is called a cliff, after which tokens gradually become available. This incremental release ensures that the team remains incentivized to contribute positively to the project over an extended duration.

## Emission curves

With a 60 million OCI allocation set aside for liquidity incentives, the emission of these tokens is closely tied to the rate at which oOCI is used to claim OCI. For a deeper understanding, refer to the [`oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) [emission curve](/ociverse/tokens/ooci#emission-rate).


# SPLASH

Learn about Ociswap's SPLASH NFT.

{% hint style="info" %}
The SPLASH 2.0 system will only commence after the involved components have been audited by Hacken. The code has already been submitted, meaning the audit is currently pending.
{% endhint %}

`$SPLASH` is a non-fungible token (NFT) that contains voting power. This voting power is based on the duration and amount of OCI tokens that are locked in dedicated [SPLASH pools](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives#splash-pools). The holders can use this power to vote on the platform's gauges. These gauges determine the distribution of [`$oOCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) incentives across Ociswap's liquidity pools.&#x20;

## Utility

* **Gauge Voting:** holders are granted the opportunity to cast their votes on a weekly basis, influencing the allocation of PURR emissions for the subsequent wave[^1].
* **Accumulate Pool Fees**: all voters share 10% of the fees that are accumulated  in the pool they voted for.
* **Bribe Revenue**: voters share 100% of the bribes that were assigned to the pools they voted for.
* **Governance Rights**: holders are contributing to the platform's ongoing development by participating in governance processes, including casting votes on proposed protocol enhancements. This feature is to be implemented at a later stage.

## Lock Duration

To promote long-term involvement and loyality, the `$SPLASH` voting power diminishes as time progresses, hitting zero by the time the underlying tokens are unlocked.&#x20;

Participants choosing longer token-locking periods benefit from greater voting sway on the platform's gauges ([more info](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives#splash-nft)). This arrangement rewards lasting commitment and builds a more resilient governance structure, as the lock-up period makes participants more inclined to cast votes that support the advancement and interests of the protocol, rather than those which may negatively impact its overall progress and functionality.<br>

[^1]: Weekly period in which the rewards are distributed and new votes can be casted.


# oOci

Learn about Ociswap's oOCI token.

{% hint style="info" %}
The SPLASH 2.0 system will only commence after the involved components have been audited by Hacken. The code has already been submitted, meaning the audit is currently pending.
{% endhint %}

## Utility

`$oOCI` is a **soulbound** reward token that is obtained through [SPLASH 2.0](https://docs.ociswap.com/ociverse/tokens/pages/7BtJqrdfmYn7t5PTdUQ5#splash-2.0) system. This token constitutes a call option to obtain `OCI` at a discounted price from a dedicated component ([more info](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives#ooci-rewards)).

## Emission Rate

The maximum number of `$oOCI` that can ever be minted is 60,000,000 as this quantity corresponds to the [`$OCI`](/ociverse/tokens/ooci) tokens [designated](/ociverse/tokens/oci#allocation) for Liquidity Incentives. The rate at which these emissions are brought into circulation, will follow an emission curve. This curve and the accompanying formula will be published upon the launch of [SPLASH 2.0](https://docs.ociswap.com/ociverse/tokens/pages/7BtJqrdfmYn7t5PTdUQ5#splash-2.0).&#x20;


# sXRD

Learn about Ociswap's sXRD token.

### Overview

sXRD (Staked XRD) is a DeFi asset on the Radix network, backed by a pool of Liquid Staking Units (LSUs). It provides a mechanism for passive staking rewards and serves as a new source of DeFi collateral while contributing to network security.

### Key Features

1. **LSU Aggregation**: sXRD aggregates multiple LSUs into a unified token.
2. **Passive Rewards**: Holders earn staking rewards without manual staking or running a validator.
3. **Built-in Uptrend**: The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the underlying LSUs provides a natural uptrend as validators earn rewards.
4. **DeFi Utility**: Can be used as collateral in the Radix DeFi ecosystem.
5. **Trustless Rebalancing:** Implements a mechanism to maintain balanced validator representation and protect against stake substitution attacks.

### Usage

* User adds LSUs to the pool.
* Newly minted sXRD tokens represent the user's share of overall liquidity.
* Validator rewards from transaction processing and ledger finalization accrue to sXRD.

### Pool Rebalancing Mechanism

To keep a balanced representation of validators, the sXRD pool implements a modified sigmoid fee curve with the following characteristics:

1. Fees start at 0% for adding liquidity and 0.05% for removing liquidity.
2. Fees increase up to 20% as a validator's stake diverges from the average.

### Integration Guidelines

1. Ensure your application can interact with the sXRD pool contract.
2. Implement proper handling of sXRD tokens, including minting, burning, and transfer operations.
3. Consider the rebalancing mechanism when designing liquidity addition or removal functions.
4. If building on top of sXRD, factor in the built-in uptrend and passive reward accrual in your economic models.

# 💻┃Validator

## Ocinode

Ociswap has been running a validator node for the Radix network since 2021. This demonstrates our commitment to supporting the security and stability of the network. By operating a high-quality validator node, Ociswap contributes to the consensus mechanism of the Radix network, helping to validate transactions and secure the network against potential attacks.

### Validator Fee

Ociswap's involvement as a validator brings additional benefits to the project. As a validator, Ociswap is eligible to receive network emissions obtained through fees. These emissions are used to fund further development and continuous improvement of Ociswap's services. This ensures that Ociswap can allocate resources towards enhancing its features, user experience, and overall performance.

# 👨‍⚖️┃Governance

Ociswap's governance system is set to be introduced **at a later stage**. This decision is driven by the need for a solid foundation and a matured protocol before implementing a fully decentralized governance model.\
\
A mature protocol ensures that the core functionalities and features of Ociswap are well-tested and reliable. This reduces the risk of potential vulnerabilities or bugs that could compromise the governance system.\
\
On top of that, a better understanding of the ecosystem and its dynamics is required. By observing how the protocol operates in real-world scenarios, the Ociswap team can gather valuable insights and data to inform the design and implementation of the governance system. This helps ensure that the governance mechanisms align with the needs and goals of the community.\
\
By introducing the governance system at a later stage, Ociswap aims to create a robust and sustainable framework that lets the community have a meaningful impact on the protocol's future.


# 💰┃Treasury

The financial backbone of Ociswap

The Ociswap treasury stands as a critical component to ensure long-term sustainability, growth, and strategic investment. These assets are deployed to fund project development, market-making, developer grants, community initiatives, and other efforts that propel the project forward.

The majority of the treasury funds are obtained through the [oOCI to OCI conversion](/ociswap-dex/liquidity-incentives#ooci-rewards) as part of SPLASH. Other potential sources of income are validator and trading fees.


# 🛡️┃ Code & Audits

Gain confidence in Ociswap's security and transparency through third-party audit reports

Ociswap places a high priority on the security and trustworthiness of its platform, aiming to provide a safe and reliable decentralized exchange experience. To achieve this, we have engaged the services of [**HACKEN**](https://hacken.io/), a renowned cybersecurity firm, to conduct thorough audits of Ociswap's components.&#x20;

HACKEN has a proven track record in auditing blockchain projects and their expertise and thorough approach to smart contract audits have been instrumental in identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses in Ociswap's components.&#x20;

By undergoing these audits, Ociswap's goal is to enhance the security of its platform and offer its users peace of mind when utilising Ociswap. The audit process involves a review of the components, ensuring that they adhere to best practices and industry standards.&#x20;

HACKEN's team of experienced auditors assess the code for potential security risks, bugs, and other issues. Their valuable insights and recommendations enable Ociswap to make necessary improvements and further strengthen the integrity of the platform.&#x20;

## Audit Results

Ociswap believes in transparency and accountability, especially in the decentralized finance space. As such, Ociswap plans to make the audit reports publicly available for review once they have been conducted.

{% embed url="<https://hacken.io/audits/ociswap/>" %}

## Open Source

Ociswap shares its Scrypto code with the public to promote transparency and security. The saying "More eyes lead to higher quality" captures the essence of this initiative, as it invites more scrutiny and learning opportunities. \
\
Furthermore, Ociswap has developed specific components that others can use as building blocks to create more complex dApps. This effort underscores Ociswap's  to not only make development on the Radix network easier but also to inspire it by providing a richer, more versatile set of tools.<br>
