Description About
Kromatika is an innovative METADEX aggregator of aggregators and has introduced a novel approach to Limit Orders placed on UniswapV3, called Fees Earning Limit Orders (yet to be matched by any protocol). Moreover, Kromatika has released the first Gasless feature on Arbitrum, by introducing Gasless Swaps, which utilize the "aggregator of aggregators" in its entirety.
By using UniV3 liquidity and Keeper smart contracts, we automate limit trades, eliminating price slippage, BOT attacks and swap fees.
To date, using this innovative tech, this has been the results on Arbitrum:
19M$ in limit orders have been made on Arbitrum alone
Average FELO size on Arbitrum is $8,398/order
Between 1 & 9% LP fees on top of their trades
More than 2200 FELO’s placed on Arbitrum
More than 857 unique users
It boasts an impressive market fit with 70% of new users becoming returning users!
The MetaDex Aggregator is an "aggregator of aggregators" searching for the deepest liquidity pools with lowest slippage to provide the best instant swap rates to users.
Without any VCs/ICO rounds, Kromatika is organically growing, expanding its suite of products.
Additional Information
Application detail
Kromatika seeks to boost user engagement and awareness in the Uniswap-Arbitrum ecosystem through custom campaign which consists of growth and development segment (more below). It aims to onboard users to Uniswap Arbitrum through our cutting edge product FELO and gasless swaps, increase Uniswap usage on Arbitrum by introducing free gasless swaps campaign and reward FELO users (Arbitrum only). Our previous experience with such campaigns have proved to be a major success.
To further grow and expand the Arbitrum and Uniswap ecosystems, we are requesting development funds to re-engineer the FELO smart contracts, allowing the acceptance of ETH, ARB, other major altcoins, and stablecoins, in addition to native token $KROM. Additionally, part of the funds will be used to improve the UI/UX of the Kromatika dApp, enabling us to onboard and retain more users from other chains and ecosystems. We believe our unique value offering will enhance the usage of the Arbitrum network and increase Uniswap volumes.
How will you use these funds? Please make a detailed plan for expenditures.
Growth: Introduce free gasless swaps
Reward FELO users
Development:
Re-engineer FELO smart contracts in order to enable ETH/ARB/Stables as collateral for upkeep operation
Introduce new and superior Kromatika UI for better user experience

Community Incentives for FELO users (once the sufficient number for reward/order is met)
Development
Introduction of new UI
Reengineering of FELO smart contracts
How do you plan to reach these milestones? (Explain the project feasibility).
The Uniswap & Arbitrum Growth Accelerator aims to significantly enhance both ecosystems by driving meaningful and measurable user engagement through innovative features such as Fees Earning Limit Orders (FELO), which is currently unique to Kromatika. Additionally, the Arbitrum and Uniswap ecosystems will benefit from an exceptional and user-friendly interface aka Kromatika dApp. By eliminating entry barriers like gas fees, we believe we offer a strong value proposition to attract users from other ecosystems and chains to try Kromatika on Arbitrum and become part of the broader Uniswap ecosystem.
Kromatika has a proven track record of exceptional user retention, with about 70% of first-time users returning. Our features are battle-tested and secure, with all necessary audits completed. By implementing our growth strategies, Kromatika will become even more compelling for users, adding to existing benefits such as avoiding slippage, preventing front-running bot attacks, earning additional LP fees on FELOs, and using aggregated swaps for free. It's worth noting that UmamiDAO has been using Kromatika's FELO feature for treasury management since 2022 switching over from SushiSwap because Kromatika's FELOs helped free a lot of their liquidity benefiting from FELO's unique advantages.
Overall, we believe this proposal will help grow and enhance the value proposition of both Uniswap and Arbitrum, driving increased user engagement, activity, and volume in these ecosystems.
