A slower path to the next price
Mooniswap separates a pool’s real token balances from the balances used in its pricing calculation immediately after a trade.
01
A trade changes the pool
The actual amounts of the two tokens change as soon as a swap settles.
02
Pricing adjusts gradually
Virtual balances move toward those actual amounts during a short decay period.
03
Providers retain more value
The design aims to reduce the immediate arbitrage opportunity created by a sudden price move.
