Decentralized exchanges on Ethereum have seen rapid growth over the past year 
with over $215 billion traded on DeFi alone in Q1 2021. This growth can be 
credited to the popularity of Automated Market Makers (AMMs) which catalyzed 
DeFi's explosive growth by offering a simple and permissionless on-chain 
trading experience.

Hashflow builds upon this foundation laid by AMMs, by connecting DeFi traders 
with top crypto market makers. Using Hashflow, traders can receive price quotes 
directly from market markers and broadcast trades on-chain using Web3 wallets 
in a fully trustless manner. By replacing AMM bonding curves with professional 
market makers, Hashflow offers traders better prices, zero slippage, & the 
lowest gas costs of any decentralized exchange on Ethereum.

For market makers, Hashflow provides access to the expanding DeFi market while 
allowing full control over their inventory and pricing strategies. Until now, 
market makers have had to deploy capital in public liquidity pools, use 
pre-defined pricing functions, and pay heavy gas fees to change strategies 
on-chain. With Hashflow, market makers can use bespoke pricing strategies and 
bridge them on-chain using digital signatures. This gives market makers full 
control over their capital, and flexibility to adapt to market conditions, 
using strategies informed by years of experience in centralized markets.

Jon Kol, Director at Galaxy Digital, a leading cryptocurrency investment firm 
and market maker, commented: "Hashflow is the first project we've backed that 
seamlessly allows market makers to quote prices effectively to DeFi traders."

Hashflow launched its closed private alpha product this week, with market 
makers offering price quotes to traders on Ethereum mainnet. In the coming 
weeks, Hashflow plans to integrate more market makers, and add additional asset 
pairs that dominate on-chain trading volumes. General audiences will be able to 
access Hashflow and trade on-chain with market makers by the end of Q2.
