After processing over $5 billion in trading volume and operating live for more than a year, we're excited to announce our biggest platform upgrade yet: Polynomial Fusion.
Today, we're launching something that doesn't exist anywhere else in the cryptocurrency ecosystem—the world's first hybrid orderbook system that seamlessly combines Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) speed with Automated Market Maker (AMM) liquidity.
Every perpetual decentralized exchange faces the same fundamental dilemma:
Order Books offer:
Lightning-fast execution
Precise price discovery
Efficient price improvement
But struggle with liquidity fragmentation
AMMs provide:
Deep, consistent liquidity
Guaranteed execution for any size
Simple user experience
But suffer from slower execution and less precise pricing
Until now, protocols have been forced to choose one approach, compromising on either speed or liquidity. We asked ourselves: why choose at all?
Polynomial Fusion represents 1.5 years of intensive research and development to solve this fundamental tradeoff. Our hybrid system intelligently routes orders to optimize execution while maintaining the benefits of both architectures.
Our hybrid system operates with parallel infrastructure:
Central Limit Order Book (CLOB)
200ms latency for ultra-fast execution
Written in Rust for maximum performance optimization
Fully audited for security and reliability
Handles high-frequency trading with institutional-grade precision
Oracle-Based AMM
Unlimited size capacity with zero slippage on large positions
Guaranteed liquidity for immediate execution
Perfect for market orders and size-sensitive trades
Our system automatically determines the optimal execution path:
Limit orders → Routed to the orderbook for precision and price improvement
Market orders → Executed via AMM for guaranteed fills and consistent liquidity
Large size trades → Handled by AMM to avoid orderbook impact
This intelligent routing ensures traders always get the best possible execution without having to understand the underlying complexity.
We've integrated Pyth Network's LAZER technology, dramatically improving our oracle infrastructure:
Latency reduction: From 2 seconds to 200ms
Enhanced accuracy: Lightning-fast price feeds eliminate stale oracle issues
Real-time execution: Trades execute at the most current market prices
This integration ensures our AMM component operates with the same speed characteristics as our orderbook, creating a truly seamless hybrid experience. We are slowly rolling this out in the coming weeks.
Our CLOB is built from the ground up in Rust, chosen specifically for:
Memory safety without garbage collection overhead
Zero-cost abstractions for optimal performance
Concurrency handling for high-throughput trading
System-level optimization typically found in traditional finance
Polynomial Fusion launches with the most competitive referral program in DeFi:
For Referrers:
Up to 13% of trading fees (expanding to 23-46% of platform fee share)
Three-tier system: Earn from your referrals' referrals
Lifetime, uncapped earnings: No expiration dates or earning limits
Trading Points bonus: 20% of referred traders' reward points
For Traders:
40% fee discount: The highest trader discount in the industry
Immediate benefits: Discounts apply from the first trade
Reduced minimum margin: Lowered from $50 to $25 USDC
Optimized funding rates: Up to 50% reduction in funding costs
Enhanced capital utilization: More efficient position management
Lower slippage: Across all trading pairs and market conditions
Polynomial Fusion adapts to market conditions in real-time:
Early/Illiquid Markets
AMM dominates order flow for liquidity bootstrapping
Consistent execution regardless of order book depth
Enables trading in markets that couldn't support pure orderbook systems
Mature/Liquid Markets
Orderbook becomes primary execution venue
Enhanced price discovery and tighter spreads
Professional trading tools and order types
Transition Phases
Automatic optimization based on current market conditions
Seamless user experience regardless of underlying routing
No manual intervention required
Coming soon, our system will feature intelligent order splitting:
Liquidity depth analysis: Real-time assessment of available liquidity
Size optimization: Automatic splitting between venues for best execution
Spread analysis: Dynamic routing based on current market conditions
Zero configuration: Optimal execution without user complexity
Full security audit completed: Comprehensive review of all system components
Audit report available:
Graduated rollout: Conservative approach to ensure system stability
During our beta phase:
Limit order cap: $20,000 USD maximum per order
Gradual increase: Limits will expand as system proves stability
AMM unlimited: No size restrictions on AMM-routed orders
Full monitoring: Continuous system performance tracking
Phase 1 (Current): Basic hybrid functionality with manual routing
Phase 2 (Q1 2025): Dynamic order splitting and intelligent routing
Phase 3 (Q2 2025): Advanced order types and institutional features
Phase 4 (Q3 2025): Cross-chain hybrid execution
Polynomial Fusion doesn't just improve existing systems—it creates an entirely new market structure. We expect this hybrid approach to become the standard architecture that other protocols will eventually adopt.
No compromises: Speed where you need it, liquidity where you want it
Future-proof: Architecture scales from early markets to institutional volumes
User-friendly: Complex routing decisions handled automatically
Capital efficient: Lower barriers and reduced costs across the board
By solving the orderbook vs AMM dilemma, Polynomial Fusion enables:
New market creation: Previously impossible markets become viable
Institutional adoption: Professional-grade infrastructure for large traders
Retail accessibility: Simplified interface with sophisticated execution
Innovation catalyst: Platform for next-generation trading features
Polynomial Fusion is live now on Polynomial Chain. Whether you're a high-frequency trader seeking optimal execution or a casual trader wanting the best prices, our hybrid system adapts to your needs.
