Batching Trades on Automated Market Makers

Abstract

We consider an automated market maker (AMM) in which all trades are batched and executed at a price equal to the marginal price (i.e., the price of an arbitrarily small trade) after the batch trades. We show that such an AMM is a function maximizing AMM (or FM-AMM): for given prices, it trades to reach the highest possible value of a given function. Competition between arbitrageurs guarantees that an FM-AMM always trades at a fair, equilibrium price, and arbitrage profits (also known as LVR) are eliminated. Sandwich attacks are also eliminated because all trades occur at the exogenously-determined equilibrium price. Finally, we show that our results are robust to the case where the batch has exclusive access to the FM-AMM, but can also trade on a traditional constant function AMM.
