TLDR: 
A deep dive into DeFi’s hidden value extraction mechanisms and BarterSwap’s innovative approach to solving liquidity and pricing challenges.
Key Points:
Most users don’t understand what happens behind a simple “swap” transaction
DeFi is like a high-speed financial Formula One, with algorithms competing in milliseconds
BarterSwap has processed $12B in volume but only generated ~$1M in revenue
Introducing the Superposition protocol to fundamentally change DeFi liquidity
In-depth summary:
The podcast episode featuring Nikita Ovchinnik, founder of BarterSwap, explores the complex world beneath cryptocurrency swaps. When users click “swap”, a lightning-fast competition begins among market makers, solvers, and searchers who battle to provide the best price while simultaneously extracting value.
BarterSwap positions itself uniquely in the DeFi ecosystem. Unlike traditional market makers like Wintermute, it combines liquidity from multiple public pools instead of relying on private market makers. This approach has allowed them to route an impressive $12 billion in swaps, demonstrating their innovative strategy.
However, the economics of this high-stakes environment are brutally challenging. Despite processing billions in volume, BarterSwap has generated barely $1 million in revenue, with half coming from protocol tokens. This highlights the extreme competitive pressure in decentralized finance, pushing the company to develop their Superposition protocol as a potential game-changer.
ELI5:
Imagine a super-fast race where different money helpers try to give you the best deal when you want to trade cryptocurrencies. BarterSwap is like a smart referee that looks at many different race tracks to find you the fastest, cheapest route.
Writer’s main point:
The DeFi space needs fundamental reimagining of liquidity and value extraction mechanisms to create sustainable business models.
