THORSwap is excited to announce the integration of Chainflip’s Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) feature, provides more flexibility and better pricing for larger sized swaps. This is achieved through breaking down larger trades into smaller ‘chunks’/sub-swaps executed over a longer period of time for better execution.

This innovative feature, similar to THORChain/Maya Protocol ‘Streaming Swaps’ allows for greater capital efficiency via lower slippage regardless of liquidity depth. Supported chains include Native Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot and Arbitrum.

What are Chainflip DCA Swaps?

DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) Swaps via Chainflip is a trading strategy where a large swap is broken down into smaller sub-swaps and executed at regular intervals. This approach helps to:

  1. Reduced Price Slippage: By breaking down a large trade into multiple smaller transactions, streaming swaps minimize the risk of price slippage, ensuring that you get the best possible pricing for your trade .
  2. Improved Price Averaging: The sequential execution of smaller swaps to dollar-cost average, potentially yielding better overall swap rates.
  3. Enhanced Liquidity: Streaming Swaps allow for more efficient use of liquidity, allowing for larger swaps.
  4. Cross-Chain Compatibility: Like THORChain and Maya Protocol, Chainflip DCA Swap work seamlessly across different blockchain networks.

  4. Expand ‘Swap Settings’ and confirm “Streaming (DCA) Swaps” is turned on.
  5. For Bitcoin swaps — you can choose to ‘Boost’ the swap for faster execution.
  6. Adjust slippage settings to your desired preference.
  7. Confirm the swap and voila! Simply wait for the swap to complete and your desired asset to arrive in your wallet.

Slippage Protection and Partial Fills/Refunds

Due to the longer swap execution period of DCA swaps, price movement between the swap assets may occur due to market volatility. This is where Slippage Protection comes in.

Depending on the slippage setting for the swap, the minimum price requirement will be applied to each individual sub-swap. If a sub-swap is executed, but does not meet the minimum price requirement, it is retried a few blocks later, pushing back the execution of any remaining sub-swaps.

If the same sub-swap reaches its retry limit, it will be refunded along with any remaining sub-swap in a single transaction to the user’s specified refund address. In that case, any amount successfully swapped in prior chunks is still sent to the user-specified destination address.
