EP 19: Token Bonding Curve Algorithms for Autonomous Market Makers (DEX)

The podcast version has no images to follow, unlike the YouTube
channel. So it's easier!  


In Part 1, we covered the basics of token bonding curves and
understand how the shape of the curve affects the incentive
mechanism.


In this episode, we look into the application of token bonding
curve in decentralised exchanges, DEX. Specifically, the use case
of Autonomous Market Maker.


We dive into 4 case studies: Bancor, Uniswap, Balancer, Curve


The concept of token bonding curve in this 4 DEXes are the same.
But the application of how the token bonding curve algorithm is
built is different. So we uncover the 4 various algorithms used
in the 4 different token bonding curves.
