Core Strategy: TWAP Market Making

Arbital's core strategy is a TWAP-based passive market maker.

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
