Deep secondary liquidity for gigaAssets

Another essential factor for successful gigaAssets adoption is the establishment of secondary markets with deep liquidity for gigaAsset swaps. As the first step, new stableswap pools will pair each gigaAsset with a respective underlying cryptocurrency. To simplify liquidity bootstrapping, we opted to use the final asset in the restaking chain, which is not exposed to additional yield opportunities, as the quote asset. For example, gigaETH will be paired with one of the popular Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRT) instead of native ETH, which is extremely hard and expensive to bootstrap.
In the second step, the protocol will incentivize liquidity providers who bring quote assets to the special module called Intelligent Peg Adapter (IPA). This module adds gigaAssets equivalent to the quote asset contributions from LPs and deploys the resulting liquidity to stableswap pools. All revenue generated in the pools through swaps and staking their LP tokens (e.g., in Convex), alongside additional rewards allocated in the Enjoyoors tokenomics, will be funneled to LPs of quote assets.
In addition to the Curve adapter described, the protocol will operate multiple other IPAs to connect Enjoyoors with external DeFi protocols seamlessly. The IPA design was inspired by Frax’s AMO, which has successfully proven its efficiency. Details of its implementation will be explored in the system architecture section below.
