# What is Bolt?

> Bolt Liquidity is the zero slippage execution layer on Sui. A prop-AMM that decouples pricing from liquidity depth.

# Why Bolt?

**DeFi pricing is broken because it depends on liquidity depth.**

Every existing model, whether AMMs, CLAMMs, or even traditional prop-AMMs, ties execution quality to how much capital sits in a pool. Bolt eliminates this dependency. Powered by the <Tooltip tip="Ingests real-time order books from multiple centralized exchanges, applies an adaptive velocity model to predict price direction, and sizes spreads using Avellaneda-Stoikov market-making theory.">Adaptive Velocity Oracle</Tooltip>, Bolt uses oracle-referenced deterministic pricing and treats pools as settlement infrastructure rather than pricing engines, delivering zero slippage execution that is fully on-chain, composable, and radically capital efficient. Aggregators and dApps integrate Bolt to win routes they could not win before, with better outcomes for users and less capital required.

<Info>
  **29.7x daily inventory turnover — 23x the Sui DEX peer average.** Across 16 SUI/USDC pools spanning 8 protocols and 4 AMM architectures, the volume-weighted peer turnover is 1.28x. The highest single peer pool achieves 2.70x. Bolt's oracle-referenced architecture produces a turnover rate that is structurally different — not incrementally better. This is what happens when pricing does not depend on pool depth.

## What Bolt does for you

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="For Aggregators" icon="arrows-split-up-and-left">
    Bolt gives you a new liquidity source that wins routes AMMs lose, especially on larger trades. Zero slippage. Fully composable. Simple SDK integration.

    [Cetus](https://www.cetus.zone/), [FlowX](https://flowx.finance/), [Hop.ag](https://hop.ag/swap/USDC-SUI), and [Aftermath Finance](https://aftermath.finance/) integrations are already live on Sui.

    **Why it matters:** Better execution means more volume routed through your platform. Bolt wins the routes where traditional pools fall short on depth, and does it with no additional capital requirement on your side.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="For Builders" icon="code">
    Integrate Bolt and give your users zero slippage execution. No need to bootstrap deep liquidity pools. Your contracts stay composable. Simple SDK. Bolt handles the liquidity infrastructure so you can focus on your product.

    **Why it matters:** Execution quality directly impacts user experience, and with traditional AMMs, you cannot control it. Bolt removes that variable entirely.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="For LPs" icon="coins">
    High capital turnover, on-demand deployment, delta-neutral hedging. No impermanent loss. No rebalancing costs. Bolt's settlement-layer model means your capital works harder with less risk than traditional AMM positions.

    **Why it matters:** Traditional LP positions expose you to impermanent loss and require constant rebalancing. Bolt's architecture eliminates both.

## The category: prop-AMM

Bolt is a <Tooltip tip="A proprietary automated market maker where a single operator or small set of market makers provides liquidity and controls the pricing strategy using external market data, rather than relying on a bonding curve.">prop-AMM</Tooltip> (proprietary automated market maker). Unlike traditional AMMs, where anyone can LP and prices are determined by a bonding curve, prop-AMMs use proprietary quoting engines that reference external market data to set prices.

Prop-AMMs have become the dominant liquidity model on other chains, capturing significant DEX volume because they solve two fundamental problems: capital inefficiency (traditional AMMs require deep TVL to produce tight spreads) and toxic order flow (public AMMs are vulnerable to MEV extraction).

<Note>
  Bolt brings the capital-efficiency advantages of prop-AMMs to Sui while addressing the composability and centralization trade-offs that have limited the model elsewhere.
