# What is FlowState?

> Liquidity infrastructure for tokens with thin on-chain liquidity

FlowState is liquidity infrastructure for tokens with thin on-chain liquidity. It eliminates price impact on the trades that AMMs cannot serve efficiently.

The protocol introduces C1 Pools: oracle-priced, single-sided liquidity pools that plug directly into existing DEX aggregator routing. For tokens where liquidity is constrained, C1 Pools deliver execution that AMMs are mathematically incapable of matching.

## What FlowState delivers

* Zero price impact on trades routed through C1 Pools, regardless of trade size
* Single-sided liquidity: depositors supply only the token being sold
* Aggregator-native routing: integrates as a liquidity source alongside Uniswap, Sushi and other AMM pools
* Oracle-anchored pricing via Pyth and Chainlink feeds
* Transparent on-chain settlement, no custody required

## How FlowState works

Token holders deposit into a C1 Pool. The pool prices their tokens at the live oracle market rate, with no curve and no rebalancing. DEX aggregators discover the pool and route trades through it whenever C1 liquidity is available, because zero slippage means the router's price comparison logic always selects C1 first. The seller receives oracle-price settlement minus a 1% fee. The buyer receives tokens at the exact quoted price.

## Who FlowState is for

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Aggregators" icon="share-nodes">
    A liquidity source that earns 0.30% on every routed trade, the highest fee share available across pool types.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Projects and Foundations" icon="building">
    A non-incentivised liquidity layer for ecosystem tokens. No ongoing rewards programme, no market maker contracts, no treasury subsidies.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Sell-side Liquidity" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left">
    A venue to clear large inventory at market price, with the price impact of an AMM structurally absent. For example, market makers and lending protocols deposit token positions and earn on the volume that fills against them.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Token Holders" icon="user">
    A direct exit path at market price for positions too large to clear through AMM pools without significant loss.
  </Card>

## Where FlowState runs

FlowState's C1 Pool infrastructure is live on EVM chains today. The FlowState brand launches publicly via DEX TGE end of Q2 2026. The same C1 Pool architecture is being deployed on Solana under a separate brand, Oasis, with its own roadmap and capital structure. Cross-chain expansion follows EVM stabilisation.
