Use Cases & Applications

1. Retail Trader Use Cases

Casual DeFi User

Profile: Non-technical user wanting to swap tokens Pain Point: Multiple venues confusing, unsure where to get best price

MonBridge Solution:

User: "I have 1000 USDC, want DAI"

Without MonBridge:
1. Check Uniswap rate
2. Check Curve rate
3. Check Sushiswap rate
4. Manually choose best venue
5. Execute on chosen venue
(Takes 10+ minutes, high friction)

With MonBridge:
1. User specifies: 1000 USDC → DAI
2. MonBridge automatically finds best rate
3. Executes optimal trade
(Takes 2 minutes, smooth experience)

Value: Simplicity, best price guaranteed, time saved

Small Traders

Profile: Active traders making 5-10 swaps daily Pain Point: Slippage adds up, affecting daily profitability

MonBridge Solution:

Monthly volume: 100,000 USDC
Without MonBridge: Average slippage 0.5% = $500 monthly loss
With MonBridge: Average slippage 0.1% = $100 monthly loss
Savings: $400/month from reduced slippage

Even accounting for 0.1% fee = $100
Net savings: $300/month (7.5% of volume)

Value: Cost reduction through better execution

2. Institutional Trader Use Cases

Quantitative Trading Firm

Profile: Algorithmic trader executing 100+ trades daily Pain Point: Large orders have extreme slippage at single venue

MonBridge Solution:

Trade: 100M USDC → DAI

Without MonBridge:

- Manual splitting: Complex, time-consuming

With MonBridge:
- Automatic optimal split across 4 venues
- Average slippage: 0.3% = $300K loss
- Savings: $4.7M per trade

Daily trades: 100
Daily savings: $470M
Annual savings: $117.5B

Value: Massive execution cost reduction

Market Maker

Profile: Provides liquidity and profits from spreads Pain Point: Rebalancing trades have significant costs

MonBridge Solution:

Portfolio Rebalancing: Move positions across tokens

Per rebalancing savings: 0.4% of volume

Annual rebalancing: $1B portfolio
Annual savings: $4M

Value: Margin improvement through better execution

Hedge Fund

Profile: Complex multi-leg trades across multiple tokens Pain Point: Multi-hop swaps require manual optimization

MonBridge Solution:

Strategy: USDC → ETH → SHIB → LINK → USDC (arbitrage loop)

Without MonBridge:
Manual path analysis:
- USDC → ETH direct vs USDC → DAI → ETH
- ETH → SHIB direct vs ETH → USDC → SHIB
- Etc.
Hours of analysis required, complex

With MonBridge:
- Specify: USDC → SHIB → LINK → USDC
- MonBridge calculates optimal path
- Executes automatically
- Seconds instead of hours

Value: Faster execution of complex strategies

---

3. Protocol Developer Use Cases

DEX Protocol

Profile: Layer 2 or alternative DEX wanting to attract traders Pain Point: Users go to aggregators instead of their venue

MonBridge Solution:

MonBridge integrates multiple venues
Users access Protocol X through MonBridge
When Protocol X has best pricing for a trade pair:
- User routed through Protocol X
- Protocol X gets volume
- Better execution incentivizes users

Result: Win-win partnership

Value: Organic traffic acquisition

DApp with Swap Functionality

Profile: Lending protocol, NFT marketplace needing token swaps Pain Point: Implementing DEX aggregation is complex

MonBridge Solution:

DApp Code:
import { MonBridgeRouter } from 'monbridge-sdk'

async function userSwap(inputToken, outputToken, amount) {
  const route = await MonBridgeRouter.findBestRoute(
    inputToken,
    outputToken,
    amount
  )
  return await executeSwap(route)
}

Benefits:
- One integration covers all DEX venues
- Automatic optimization
- Reduced development time
- Reliable, audited code

Value: Simplified integration, production-ready

Chain Migration Tool

Profile: Service helping users move funds between chains Pain Point: Need optimal swaps during migration process

MonBridge Solution:

Migration: Ethereum → Polygon
1. User has USDC on Ethereum
2. Bridge to Polygon (loses time/cost)
3. Needs better pricing on Polygon

With MonBridge on both chains:
- Best Ethereum exit pricing
- Optimal route to USDC on Polygon
- Seamless migration experience

Value: Better prices for migration services

---

4. DEX Venue Use Cases

Emerging DEX

Profile: New DEX protocol with good prices but limited users Pain Point: Users don't discover their venue

MonBridge Solution:

MonBridge's routing algorithm:
1. Queries all integrated venues
2. If Emerging DEX has best price
3. Routes volume there automatically

Result:
- Without MonBridge: 100 users
- With MonBridge: 1000+ users routed to venue when optimal
- Volume increases 10x purely from algorithmic routing

Mechanism: Quality attracts volume through aggregation

Value: Fair venue discovery based on pricing quality

Established DEX

Profile: Large DEX concerned about competition Pain Point: Aggregators fragment their volume

MonBridge Solution:

Traditional aggregator: "Use our custom routing (biased toward affiliates)"

MonBridge: "Pure algorithmic routing to best price"

For established DEX:
- If they have best price: Get volume
- If they don't: Routed to better venue
- Competition on quality not politics

Result: Establishes DEX as reliable venue
Attracts quality-conscious traders

Value: Algorithmic fairness rewards quality

---

5. Liquidity Provider Use Cases

Uniswap LP

Profile: Capital provider earning fees from swaps Pain Point: Liquidity fragmented across venues

MonBridge Solution:

Without MonBridge:
- Uniswap gets 100K swaps daily
- Curve gets 50K swaps daily
- Sushiswap gets 30K swaps daily
(Fragmented liquidity)

With MonBridge:
- Best prices for each pair routed to highest-liquidity venue
- Venues with better pricing get more volume
- Incentivizes LP participation

LP Benefit:
- Better venues attract more capital (better returns)
- Capital efficiency improved through aggregation

Value: Better returns through improved capital allocation

Multi-Venue LP

Profile: Liquidity provider on multiple DEX platforms Pain Point: Managing capital allocation across venues

MonBridge Solution:

Capital allocation strategy:
- Allocate 50% to high-fee-tier Uniswap V3 (volatile pairs)
- Allocate 30% to Curve (stablecoin pairs)
- Allocate 20% to Sushiswap (alternative tokens)

MonBridge routing:
- Routes trades to venues where LP has positioned capital
- LP earns fees proportional to capital deployed
- Algorithmic routing rewards quality positioning

Result: LP earns fees from better capital allocation

Value: Data-driven capital deployment

---
