Market making is available now. Grid trading is rolling out.
TWAP Market Making
Arbital's market making bots run a TWAP-based passive strategy.
TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) means orders are placed gradually over time, rather than all at once.
But unlike traditional TWAP (used for execution), Arbital's TWAP is designed for market making, not directional trading.
What the Bot Actually Does
At all times, the bot:
Places limit buy orders slightly below market price
Places limit sell orders slightly above market price
Refreshes these orders every few seconds
So it:
Buys low
Sells high
Repeats this many times
This creates:
Trading volume
Spread capture
