Summary of the new announcements

Epsilon is Alien Base’s powerful meta-aggregator, enabling users to trade any token on the Base network, unrestricted by the liquidity in Alien Base’s own v2 and v3 pools or the platform’s incentivized contracts.

Epsilon operates seamlessly: when a user initiates a swap, Epsilon gathers price quotes from various providers, compares them, and offers the best rate. This setup not only opens access to all tokens on Base but also ensures optimal pricing, eliminating the need to jump between platforms.

Today, OpenOcean and Paraswap serve as core aggregators for Epsilon, and we’re excited to announce Odos as our newest partner. Odos has one of the best routing systems out there, and our users will be able to use it with 0 additional fees for the initial period.

But Epsilon’s vision goes beyond efficient swaps. It aims to break down DeFi liquidity barriers, empowering users to focus on what they value most: analyzing and trading tokens, without worrying about where liquidity is sourced.

Introducing Epsilon Analytics

The new analytics interface

While Epsilon currently enables seamless trading on any token within the Base ecosystem, token research is still fragmented across platforms like Dexscreener and CoinMarketCap, often resulting in inconsistent data. Epsilon Analytics aims to change this by embedding comprehensive chain-wide analytics directly into the Explore, Swap, and Token List pages of Alien Base.

Through native data integration with Alien Base pools, other DEXes on Base, and using subgraphs and APIs from multiple sources, Epsilon Analytics will offer detailed information on all tokens, pools, and transactions. This will provide users with unified and reliable data, streamlining the research process and enhancing decision-making.

Epsilon Analytics will also feature advanced charting with TradingView, live feeds for news, tweets and casts from community pages.

The Roadmap

To start, Alien Base has enhanced its analytics to aggregate data from both v2 and v3 pools, and our token list has been expanded to improve token visibility and searchability.

Due to the unique architecture of Epsilon and Alien Base’s varied technologies, presenting complete data on external platforms can be challenging. Therefore, we’re upgrading our analytics to include data from Epsilon swaps, Alien Base Carbon, and Bunni contracts, enriching our in-house platform with a complete view of all activity.

Next, we’ll integrate subgraphs from major DEXes and use APIs to expand token data across Base. TradingView charting will be added for all tokens, bringing powerful technical analysis tools into Alien Base.

Finally, we plan to incorporate social features for an even more engaging user experience, enhancing Alien Base as a central hub for all things DeFi on Base.
