            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Stella Trade — the architecture under the hood</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Iwtg4D7mdc2fUgVj5oKqIA.png" /></figure><p>As <a href="https://x.com/stellaxyz_/status/1921837822312661390">Stella Trade goes live on Berachain Testnet</a>, this article serves as a deep dive on what Stella Trade is, the architecture underneath it, and how it differentiates itself from other perpetual DEXs.</p><h3>Why Stella Trade</h3><p>The perpetual DEX landscape is quite crowded, with liquidity fragmented across multiple chains/ platforms. While HyperLiquid is leading the charge on bringing perpetuals onchain, there are still a few reasons why traders continue to prefer trading perps on centralized exchanges —</p><ol><li><strong>Liquidity Depth — </strong>While on-chain perpetual DEXs keep spreads competitive, the liquidity depth is often much lower than orderbooks on centralized exchanges. Since liquidity begets more liquidity, it enforces strong network effects that are hard to break.</li><li><strong>Assets — </strong>The number of perp assets on centralized exchanges is far more than on most DEXs. Amongst other reasons, the fact that the underlying spot assets have their main avenue of price discovery on these centralized exchanges, it gives them a lot of levy to list new perp assets first.</li></ol><p>Stella Trade tries to build on these insights by building a hybrid model — a <strong>Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) </strong>along with a <strong>Just-In-Time (JIT) liquidity auction system. </strong>This helps Stella Trade offer the best execution for perp trades between its internal CLOB and the liquidity aggregated from different avenues using the JIT auction system. Let us look deeper into the underlying architecture.</p><h3>Architecture</h3><p>Stella Trade’s architecture combines the <strong>Central Limit Order Book (CLOB)</strong> framework with an advanced <strong>Just-In-Time (JIT) liquidity auction system</strong>, creating a high-performance decentralized trading environment. This hybrid model addresses the limitations of traditional DeFi trading platforms, offering a seamless blend of liquidity depth, capital efficiency, and competitive pricing.</p><h3>Core Components</h3><ol><li><strong>CLOB Base Layer<br></strong>The CLOB provides a foundational layer of liquidity, allowing traders to place limit orders that remain visible and accessible for takers. This ensures consistent market depth and transparency for all participants.</li><li><strong>JIT Liquidity Auction Mechanism<br></strong>The JIT mechanism enhances the system’s liquidity by enabling market makers to respond dynamically to trade intents with on-demand liquidity. This component minimizes capital inefficiency and allows for competitive pricing by leveraging market maker participation in real-time.</li></ol><p>Market makers, also called solvers or relayers in intent-based systems, can participate in the JIT Blind Auction using two distinct methods:</p><h4>1. Auction via Request-For-Quotes (Free Margin)</h4><p>Market makers with available free margin can directly bid in the blind auction. This enables them to provide quotes that are more competitive than the existing limit order book, ensuring they have a chance to capture taker order flow with superior pricing.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*zolsqHqNOM5OR7BX" /></figure><h4>2. On-Demand Margin Reallocation</h4><p>For market makers with margin locked in limit orders across other markets, the system allows for on-demand reallocation. By removing existing placed orders, market makers can reallocate their margin to participate in the blind auction for incoming taker orders. This approach maximizes capital efficiency by dynamically adjusting liquidity allocation to match active order flow.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*1Mxm5dbAq25-xDBW" /></figure><h3>Just-In-Time (JIT) Auction Mechanism</h3><h4>Auction Process Overview</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*gcKxppNbI8vdBLdy" /></figure><p>Market making on Stella Trade operates on an on-demand basis, leveraging a Request-for-Quotes (RFQ) system inspired by CoW Swap. This approach ensures maximum capital efficiency, as margin is allocated exclusively to active user order flow (takers). By eliminating unnecessary capital lock-ups, Stella Trade optimizes liquidity provision across multiple perpetual trading pairs, enhancing the flexibility and efficiency of market-making.</p><h4>Order Matching</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0zxk1wu_xnYJhFzNSr2_6w.png" /></figure><ol><li><strong>Trade Intent Submission</strong><br>The user submits a trade intent (order) via the trading interface. This is then relayed to the Stella Trade Matching Engine.</li><li><strong>Broadcast to Market Makers</strong><br>The Matching Engine sends the trade intent to integrate market makers through the RFQ Module.</li><li><strong>Intent Auction</strong><br>Market makers have up to 2 seconds to participate in the auction, responding with their best firm quotes.</li><li><strong>Quote Evaluation and Matching</strong><br>The Matching Engine compares the received quotes with existing order book liquidity to achieve the most competitive pricing. Partial fills from multiple market maker quotes are possible.</li><li><strong>Position Execution</strong><br>Once the best quotes are selected, the respective market maker’s margin is locked, and the trade is executed. Both market makers and the user are notified of the position opening.</li></ol><p>In cases where a market maker’s quote matches the order book price, the order book liquidity is prioritized. This incentivizes market makers to provide better quotes than those available in the order book.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=070ace679431" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Stella — the journey ahead!</h3><p>Stella has been innovating at the forefront of LeverageFi for the past few years, especially around leverage yields. Now, Stella is going to see its biggest upgrade in years — with the introduction of Stella Trade.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/700/0*83R-c6DlN-Gl1fy2" /></figure><p>Over the years Stella has shipped —</p><p>— The first Leverage Yield Farming protocol on Ethereum, with ATH TVL of $2B, and becoming the Binance Launchpad project of the year in 2021.</p><p>— Adding leverage LPing on Uniswap v3, becoming the only DeFi protocol to enable that till this day.</p><p>— Introduce leverage LPing on Camelot, Pendle, TraderJoe Liquidity book and other best in class yield sources.</p><p>— Introduce a new primitive, leverage at 0% cost to borrow through ‘pay as you earn’ model. It got Stella to $10M in TVL, and multiple rounds of $ARB STIP incentives by the Arbitrum DAO.</p><p>Now, Stella is going to expand its suite of Leverage products beyond Leverage yields — with the introduction of Stella Trade.</p><p>Stella Trade is going to be a new perpetuals trading platform, that allows users to get access to the best in class liquidity across centralized and decentralized exchanges. Stella Trade relies on a state of the art ‘request for quote’ mechanism to get the best quotes across different avenues, so users can get the best prices.</p><p>In the coming weeks, Stella will rollout —</p><p>— An closed beta testnet on Berachain for early users to try out, share feedback. Berachain is an Ethereum adjacent EVM L1 powered by proof of liquidity consensus mechanism. Berachain has a vibrant DeFi native community, making it an ideal playground for a LeverageFi product like Stella.</p><p>— Iterate on user feedback, and constantly ship upgrades to add new assets, improve the UX, and make quotes more competitive.</p><p>— Ship mainnet and use the 15k $BERA airdrop as incentives to bootstrap initial growth. Double down on the growth efforts of Stella Trade.</p><p>The next few months are going to be exciting, with a lot of hardwork behind the scene coming to fruition. Stella is thankful to the community for the continuous support — the best is yet to come!</p><p>Stella 🌟💫</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=59df0d7df1cb" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Although a leverage dApp has its own growth trajectory, we believe we can create significant innovation and generate a net positive value to the community by taking our know-how and turn it into building a robust leverage infrastructure that can power all sorts of leverage dApps on all chains.</p><p>With the growing number of L1s and L2s, an increase in liquidity fragmentation among them, as well as an increase in users’ appetite in using on-chain leverage trading platforms, LitLayer will be the omni-chain infrastructure that enables fast and seamless creation of leverage trading applications on any chain.</p><p>The transition to the new product roadmap can help the project to not only capture a much bigger market, but also get a lot more fees, which trickle down to token holders.</p><p>The objective of this proposal is to pivot from the current product of Stella (a leverage dApp) to LitLayer (leverage infrastructure protocol).</p><p>The pivot would entail rebranding, new product direction and tokenomics changes.</p><p>Check out the proposal <a href="https://stella.discourse.group/t/rebranding-proposal-stella-to-litlayer/12?u=apoorv">here</a> and visit the <a href="https://discord.com/channels/1106077451261587456/1253285076708495360">#governance</a> channel in the Stella Discord for any inquiries.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=07f7b8d475bd" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

This means once all 20k $ALPHA are distributed, you will have to wait for the next Epoch to be rewarded.</p><p>For example: 2 Leveragoors generated the following PnL:</p><p>User A’s total generated PnL: $8,000 on Day 1</p><p>User B’s total generated PnL: $4,000 on Day 2</p><p>Let’s say the spot price of 1 $ALPHA is $0.1, distributing 20k $ALPHA, then this means $2,000 will be distributed.</p><p>The total rewards will be distributed as follows:</p><p><strong>User A:</strong> $8,000*0.2 = $1,600 will be rewarded, therefore, receiving 16k $ALPHA.</p><p><strong>User B:</strong> $4,000*0.2 = $800 will be rewarded, therefore, User B should receive 8k $ALPHA.</p><p>However, User A has already received 16k of the pool, meaning there are only 4k $ALPHA left. User B will only receive 4k $ALPHA, as it’s what’s left in the reward pool.</p><p>That’s all for now. Join Stella on <a href="https://discord.gg/MdUgars22f">Discord</a> to meet other skilled degens or start using Stella to earn rewards now: <a href="https://app.stellaxyz.io">https://app.stellaxyz.io</a></p><h3>About Stella Core Development Team</h3><p>Previously as Alpha Finance Lab and Alpha Venture DAO, Stella core development team has pioneered in ‘leveraged DeFi’ since 2020.
