Description

Today, a treasury that wants real depth has to be split across every chain and every pool it serves, and 85 to 97 percent of it sits idle at any moment. Aqua0 lets one committed amount back a Uniswap V4 pool and a 1inch Aqua market at the same time, with no locking, and deploys capital just-in-time at the pool's own price only when a swap actually needs it. The result is 2.25 to 3x more capital efficiency than traditional AMMs, and liquidity providers keep roughly 90 percent of the arbitrage profits that would otherwise bleed out to third parties.

Anyone can plug in from either side. Issuers and market makers commit capital once through the app, while DEXes, payment providers and builders integrate our swap endpoints and developer API, with self-serve API keys and one swap flow for every chain and venue. Asset onboarding is open, so anyone can request a new asset and it goes live on approval.

We took third place at the Arbitrum Open House Online Buildathon, our public beta is live on 9 chains including Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain, and we hold over $100K in signed liquidity commitments from issuers and market makers including Twin Finance, Blox, DFB Network and Hackachain.

Progress During Hackathon

During the buildathon, we shipped Season 0, our first points campaign with a new Uniswap V4 hook, new pools, an a0points system in the app and a $2,500 Merkl rewards pool. The campaign starts on 27 October and runs until 3 December. We also rebuilt asset onboarding so that anyone can request a new asset through the API and it goes live on approval, with vault creation now open on-chain for any token, moving toward permissionless listings. At the Founder House, mentorship sessions with the Arbitrum Foundation, Offchain and GMX shaped our go-to-market plan on Arbitrum, including FX payment providers integrating our swap endpoints and options on FX rates as a service. CAPA is following up with us to create a ZARP/USDC pool they want to explore together, turning a signed commitment into an active integration conversation. We met builders in the cohort, including a team building social trading for LPs and a launchpad with downside protection for token launches, and we are exploring integrations with both.

Fundraising Status

We are incubated by 1inch and the Uniswap Foundation. We are also backed by a $50,000 grant from 1inch, an Ethereum Foundation Security Fund audit subsidy grant for $7,000, as well as Guardian Audits' Gold grant. We have $15,000 of angel funding in the bank and currently raising a $2m pre-seed round.
