Plugin System Architecture

Core Components

Immutable Core: Contains essential AMM logic including:

  • Swap mechanics

  • Position management

  • Fee calculations

  • Security features

Plugin Marketplace: Extensible modules that add functionality:

  • Adaptive/Dynamic Fee System

    • Automatically adjusts fees based on volatility, trading volume, and current liquidity

  • TWAP oracles

  • Farming rewards

Adaptive Fee Plugin

Algebra's adaptive fee system adjusts trading fees based on market volatility.

  • Low volatility: Fees decrease to encourage trading

  • High volatility: Fees increase to compensate for increased risk

This mechanism helps protect liquidity providers from adverse selection while optimizing trader costs.

Oracle Plugin

The Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) oracle provides manipulation-resistant price feeds.

  • Geometric mean calculation over time periods

  • Resistance to flash loan attacks

  • Configurable time windows for different use cases

Gas Optimization Strategies

Algebra Integral implements several gas-saving techniques:

  • Storage Optimization: Efficient data packing reduces storage costs by up to 93%

  • Batch Operations: Group multiple actions into single transactions to minimize overhead.

  • Plugin Modularity: Optional features don't consume gas when unused.

Tick spacing and Precision

Dynamic Tick spacing: Unlike fixed implementations, Algebra allows real-time tick spacing adjustments to optimize for different token pairs

  • Fine-grained price control for stable pairs

  • Appropriate spacing for volatile assets

  • Efficient capital allocation
