TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 8 @ ETHIndia Fellowship

The end of the line is just another beginningIt has been a solid 8 weeks of ideating, analyzing, researching, and building a kickass project that I had been wanting to build for some time. There were multiple pivots on the way, but eventually we have made it this far. On my last week at EIF3.0 I haven’t completed the project I had in mind, especially because of the major bug I am met with (as mentioned in my previous blog). Once I get my core function to join and exit a pool is done, all I ne...

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 7 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
It’s time to dive deep into writing our smart contracts for the [carbon] swap, it’s pretty straightforward in what I’m trying to do, but I’ve been facing a couple of bugs in integrating with Balancer which is blocking any progress I’m having. But before we go into that, let’s explore a bit more into what exactly I’m trying to build here.A Primer: the [carbon] swapproposed pool architectureT[C]S is a ReFi-based project that helps you save the planet.

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 6 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
Week 6 is here!With week 6 on the go, and my custom Balancer Composable Stable Pool deployed, it’s time to start testing out the possibilities of Balancer Pools. During this week, I learnt more about swaps, including Batch Swaps and Single Swaps. As the names imply, a Single Swap is used when only trading 2 tokens against a single pool. And Batch Swap, the more commonly used one, allows for multiple hops, paths, and pools. This differentiation allows for the Single Swap to be even more gas op...

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 5 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
Voila! A pool hath been born…Last week, I had been struggling to get a pool created via balancer-sdk, so I decided to use balpy (a repo of python scripts for balancer) - as suggested by a user on Discord, to initialize my pool. I was going through some issues which I wasn’t sure what the problem was. After a few hours of tinkering and some more hours going back and forth on Discord I was finally able to generate my very first Composable Stable Pool on Balancer. In this pool I had added my 3 d...

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 4 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
Finally digging into the code!On week 4 of my journey with ETHIndia Fellowship I thought to get my hand dirty with code, and start working with the Balancer SDK and figure out how I can create, join, and trade with Balancer’s Composable Stable pools (not sure what I’m talking about? read my previous post from Week 3 of the Fellowship). I was assigned Sarang from Sushiswap as my mentor. I believe he could give me on a greater insight into what to consider and take care of when working with and...

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 3 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
Aloha Week 3!Week 3 at the ETHIndia Fellowship is up and I’ve been looking into Balancer’s Docs and understanding how the protocol works.Diving deep into BalancerBalancer is an AMM protocol with a unique and interesting approach to creating markets. They are flexible in the types of pools you can create, with the option of multi-token pools combined multi-weights assigned to them. Some of the interesting pools that caught my attention and could prove useful to T[C]S are:Composable Stable Pool...

TheCarbonSwap 🌱: Week 2 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
What a week!This past week had a lot going on—a bit of traveling and a whole lot of hacking for the ETHForAll hackathon. Finally managed to get a submission through even though in the last moment.As for T[C]S (TheCarbonSwap or should I start writing it as ā€œthe [carbon] swapā€?) I’ve been looking into some of the pros and cons I mentioned last week regarding the approach I should be taking. On further digging, I realized that soft-forking Curve or building pools on Curve to create T[C]S may not...

TheCarbonSwap🌱: Week 1 @ ETHIndia Fellowship
Introduction ✨Howdy! The much-awaited ETHIndia Fellowship 3.0 has begun, and it’s time to BUIDL some dope stuff! As part of the Fellowship, I’ll be building ā€˜TheCarbonSwap’ or TCS, a StableSwap DEX that allows for the trading of carbon-backed assets such as BCT, NCT, MCO2, KLIMA, etc., and also to mint a pool-backed token that represents at least 1-metric tonne of CO2.Week 1The DilemmaMy first week involved understanding what exactly I wanted to build during these 8-weeks and plotting key mil...
