Vortex

Vortex Grow

One atomic cycle across two venues. It settles only if the maker ends with more WBTC than it started with.

WBTC

Scanning works without a wallet. Connect one on chain to broadcast the cycle yourself when the API has no solver key.

Enter a principal and scan for a profitable cycle.

No opportunity on screen.

Scan to price a cycle against current venue liquidity. Nothing is quoted until you do, so there is no profit figure to show yet.

How the cycle works

One transaction

All of it, or none

Aqua maker

Holds the WBTC

Vortex Grow

Borrows the principal

Vortex PermAMM

WBTC → USDC

External venue

USDC → WBTC

Profit check

More WBTC, or revert

  1. Aqua maker: Holds the WBTC
  2. Vortex Grow: Borrows the principal
  3. Vortex PermAMM: WBTC → USDC
  4. External venue: USDC → WBTC
  5. Profit check: More WBTC, or revert
  6. The cycle closes: principal and profit return to the maker.

Vortex borrows the maker’s WBTC, trades one leg here and one on an external venue, and can only settle if the maker ends with more WBTC than it started with. Otherwise the whole transaction reverts and nothing moved.

The contract keeps 20% of realised profit. Principal is never touched.
