AmmalgamImpermanent Loss: The Silent Cost of Providing Liquidity
Impermanent loss is one of the most misunderstood risks in DeFi. New users hear about “earning yield” by providing liquidity and assume it resembles interest on a savings account. It does not. Automated Market Makers (AMMs) change the structure of your position every time the market moves. If you do not understand that mechanism, you cannot evaluate the risk or the return. Impermanent loss is the difference between what your assets would have been worth if you had simply held them and what th...

AmmalgamBorrowing in DeFi: Why You Need to Put Up Collateral First
Borrowing in decentralized finance looks simple on the surface: you deposit one asset and borrow another. But the mechanics behind it are fundamentally different from the systems people are used to in traditional finance. DeFi cannot rely on identity, credit scores, employment verification, or legal enforcement. Smart contracts only see balances, collateral ratios, and predefined rules. Because of that limitation, DeFi had to adopt a model where loans are fully collateralized, and liquidation...

The remaining work we have to do includes three high level items, interest logic, saturation logic, and liquidations. With some of the major pieces of code starting to finalize, we have shifted engineering resources back to the frontend to work out our alpha kinks and upgrade to the latest core contract interfaces. This last week they were able to spin out a new flow in our alpha dapp to help encourage interested users to spread the word and capture influence attribution.
We have deployed a prerelease interest rate logic. This is a big milestone as it allows us to finalize designs on the front end to show accrued interest.
Contract: Unverified | Balance: $0 across 0 Chain | Transactions: 1 | As at Oct-25-2025 06:23:41 PM (UTC)
We have a code complete version of the saturation work that is going through code review. There are optimizations here that we will want to tackle before merging and releasing that will lower contract size and gas costs.
We have been grooming the changes required to support the required changes to support liquidations. These changes will rely heavily on work already done, but will still require careful attention to be completed correctly.
We revamped the landing page of our Dapp to do a better job of encouraging people to share online and to be able to track attribution for anyone sharing about Ammalgam on the Redacted Flight. At time of writing, there are still some finishing touches going in, but it will be live tomorrow. A similar form will also be available for the redacted flight.
