📊Use Cases

For Traders

Amara gives traders access to two complementary markets under a single protocol: perpetual leverage trading and spot swaps. This dual system means traders can manage short-term speculation and long-term exposure without leaving the platform.

Perpetual Trading Traders can take long or short positions on supported assets such as DIONE, USDC, and synthetic carbon credits.

• Leverage: Positions can be opened with leverage, allowing traders to amplify gains (and losses).

• Margin and Collateral: Deposits into the Vault serve as collateral. The Position Manager tracks balances, calculates profit and loss, and enforces liquidation thresholds.

• Execution: Orders are submitted through the Router and executed asynchronously by keepers using the latest oracle price feeds, ensuring fairness and reducing frontrunning risks.

• Funding Rates: A dynamic funding system balances long and short demand. Traders on the crowded side of the market pay fees to those on the less crowded side, keeping pools stable over time.

Spot Swaps Not every strategy requires leverage. Through AmaraSwap, traders can swap tokens directly using AMM liquidity pools.

• Instant Access: Swaps settle in a single transaction, giving users immediate exposure to DIONE, USDC, and other supported tokens.

• Path Routing: Trades route through WDIONE for efficiency, ensuring deep liquidity even in less active pools.

• Liquidity Transparency: Prices and reserves are visible on-chain, and subgraphs provide real-time trade data for charting and analysis.

Synthetic Asset Exposure One of Amara’s key innovations is the ability to trade synthetic versions of carbon credits. For traders, this represents access to an entirely new class of assets:

• Speculation: Traders can bet on the future price of synthetic sustainability markets.

• Hedging: Exposure can be used as a hedge against other investments or environmental risk.

• Accessibility: By keeping these assets on-chain and synthetic, traders bypass the restrictions of traditional carbon markets while still participating in their growth.

Amara’s trader-focused design combines the flexibility of spot trading with the opportunity of leverage, all while opening the door to sustainability assets that were previously inaccessible in DeFi.
