3. DeFi Market Making & Execution

Service Description

In Session 3, we leave centralized exchanges behind and dive into the fast-evolving world of on-chain market making and DeFi execution. You’ll learn how decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer work under the hood — including bonding curves, router mechanics, and how smart contracts determine price and slippage. We'll walk through how to design strategies that can profitably provide liquidity on AMMs, and how to think about impermanent loss, farming incentives, and fee optimization. This session also introduces one of the biggest threats to DeFi traders: MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). We’ll show you how sandwich attacks, front-running, and toxic flow can erode your edge — and how pro traders defend against it with private relays, gas optimizations, and smarter routing. You’ll also see how professional desks create hybrid strategies, balancing inventory between CEX and DEX, and using DeFi yield as a hedge or revenue booster. If you want to understand the real edge in DeFi — beyond farming hype — this is where it starts. ✅ What You’ll Learn: AMMs vs. order books: bonding curves and slippage How to LP strategically and mitigate impermanent loss DEX routing mechanics and execution paths MEV risks and how to defend against them Hybrid strategies across DEX and CEX for rebalancing and alpha 🎓 Session Format: Live 60-minute session with Q&A Lifetime access to recording and slide deck Bonus links to MEV monitoring tools & dashboards Access to Discord for DeFi strategy discussion 🧠 Instructor Insight: Learn how professional desks optimize on-chain execution, protect from predatory bots, and build liquidity across protocols — with examples from live environments and real capital.
