Hashflow (HFT): a revolution in trade execution or just a good tool?

DeFi trading has suffered from the same problem for many years: slippage, MEV attacks, liquidity fragmentation. At the same time, there seemed to be a choice — dozens of platforms, but they all connected to the same AMM pools. In 2024-2025, the situation began to change, and in this shift, Hashflow plays a central role.

How the Familiar Architecture of DeFi Led to Inefficiency

Traditional automated market makers (AMM) work simply: you invest in a pool, and the algorithm gives a price. But this simplicity comes at a high cost:

• Slippage: the price moves from the moment the transaction is sent to its execution.
• MEV vulnerability: bots intercept the transaction, inserting their transactions ahead of or behind it.
• Low liquidity: capital is scattered across multiple pools

Most wallets and aggregators (Jupiter, 1inch, CowSwap, KyberSwap) route trading through these same pools — just in different interfaces. There is essentially no choice.

Hashflow: RFQ model as a response to AMM

Instead of static pools, Hashflow uses a different mechanism — quote request (RFQ). Here's how it works in practice:

1. You initiate a transaction through a wallet or aggregator
2. The request is sent to the Hashflow network, where it is seen by professional market makers.
3. They send signed quotes — essentially offers with a precise price.
4. You choose the best
5. The transaction is executed on the blockchain exactly at this price.

Pricing occurs off-chain, execution is on-chain. Result:

• Zero slippage: the price is fixed before execution
• Protection from MEV: market makers compete, bots cannot intervene
• Guaranteed execution: quotation = final price, without exceptions

Scales and Current Indicators

By the end of 2024, Hashflow shows significant progress:

• Weekly Volume: over $20 billion through integrated platforms
• Daily turnover: over $30 million transactions
• Coverage: 8 main blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Base, Monad, etc.)
• Active wallets: more than 50,000 per month
• Current HFT price: $0.03
• 24h change: -3.70%
• Trading volume (24h): $225.44K
• Market Capitalization: $17.59M

The figures show that the protocol is working, but it is still far from completely displacing AMM from the market.

How Hashflow Earns and Why It Matters

The monetization model is simple but effective:

• 50% of the fees go to HFT stakers
• 50% of the fees are used for token buyback and burn

This means that with the increase in trading volume:

• HFT holders receive real income ( not just hope for appreciation )
• The token offering is reduced
• The interests of stakers and the protocol are aligned.

Management is conducted through veHFT (locked staking), so active participants can influence development.

Uniqueness of the RFQ model

The main difference of Hashflow from competitors:

RFQ is the first crypto infrastructure of this scale, where liquidity is provided not by pools, but by professional market makers. This creates a strong network effect:

• More traders → more competition in quotes → better prices
• Best prices → more traders on the platform → more merchants are joining
• More integrations → new users → more liquidity

The platform is invisible to the end user, but its influence is everywhere: each integration enhances performance.

Expansion Plans and What's Next

Hashflow continues:

• New blockchains: deployments on Monad and other ecosystems will broaden coverage
• Deep integrations: integration into leading wallets and protocols, strengthening within existing platforms
• More market makers: the increase in the number of participants in the network enhances competition
• Scalability Improvement: optimizing execution mechanisms for growing volumes

Every step increases the volume → commissions rise → the HFT ecosystem strengthens.

Conclusion: infrastructure, not marketing

Hashflow is conquering the market not with a loud token launch, but with a quiet revolution in infrastructure. Instead of another AMM clone, a fundamentally different architecture is proposed: RFQ instead of pools, market makers instead of algorithms, guaranteed prices instead of slippage.

The model works: $20 billion weekly volume, 50,000 wallets monthly, integration with major DeFi platforms. The HFT token is not the most expensive at ($0.03), which either indicates an undervaluation of the protocol or that the market has not yet realized its significance.

DeFi is evolving from pure AMMs to hybrid models, and Hashflow is one of the main architects of this transformation. Against the backdrop of the decline of most altcoins (HFT -3.70% over 24 hours), the protocol continues to expand, indicating the seriousness of its mission.
