# Native + Standard Swap Protocols

Akashic Chain features a **dual swap protocol system** that integrates both native-level liquidity operations and EVM-standard Automated Market Maker (AMM) logic. This hybrid model enables developers to choose between **high-performance native swaps** and **EVM-compatible AMM models**, offering maximum flexibility, speed, and composability for DeFi and asset exchange use cases.

The design addresses the fragmentation of liquidity across networks and protocols, providing **a unified swap experience** while retaining support for standard Web3 tooling and decentralized trading ecosystems.

### Architecture Overview

1. **Native Swap Protocol**
   * Operates directly on Akashic’s native runtime layer
   * Enables fast, low-gas swaps between AKC assets
   * Best suited for internal DeFi systems, stablecoin exchange, and reward token flows
2. **Standard AMM Protocol (EVM-compatible)**
   * Fully compatible with ERC-20 tokens and Ethereum-based DEX logic
   * Developers can deploy or integrate common AMM models like Uniswap V2/V3
   * Ideal for building interoperable DeFi platforms with familiar infrastructure

### Technical Advantages

* **Speed + Flexibility**\
  Native swaps offer faster execution and lower cost; standard AMMs offer broader integration with existing DEX tools and user habits.
* **Liquidity Composability**\
  Developers can combine both models in one platform, bridging on-chain liquidity with external protocols via CMQ and TSS.
* **Dual-Layer Efficiency**\
  Smart routing logic can determine whether to use native pools or standard AMMs based on token type, volume, and gas optimization.
* **Modular Integration**\
  Both swap protocols are deeply integrated with other Akashic modules, including staking, DVS rewards, UTN agents, and asset bridges.
