Abstract

Decentralised Finance has popularised Automated Market Makers (AMMs), but surprisingly little research has been done on their consistency. Can a single attacker extract risk-free revenue from an AMM, regardless of price or other users' behaviour? In this paper, we investigate the consistency of a large class of AMMs, including the most widely used ones, and show that consistency holds.
