TWAMM is one of the most underrated features in all of DeFi.
It stands for Time-Weighted Automated Market Maker. It's the AMM version of a DCA order.
And it's built directly into Ekubo as a core, native extension. 🧵
2/ The problem TWAMM solves:
- large swaps
- users wanting to DCA into or out of assets
An example:
Imagine a DAO with $10M in USDC that needs to convert it to ETH.
If they execute it as one swap: catastrophic slippage. The market moves against them. They pay 3–5% more than necessary. MEV bots front-run the trade.
The alternative before TWAMM: use a centralized OTC desk or write a custom contract that no aggregator touches.
Neither option is good.
3/ TWAMM lets you say:
"I want to buy $10M of ETH with USDC, spread over the next 7 days."
The order is executed continuously, block after block, in a gas-efficient way without any external actor required.
No single large order hits the pool. The market has time to absorb and rebalance. MEV impact is minimized because there's no discrete moment to front-run.
Users wanting to DCA over time get the exact average buy or sell price over the duration of the order.
