const di = new DINetwork({ chainId: 1, provider: window.ethereum }); // Check dynamic fees and limits const burnFee = await di.dswap.getBurnFeeBps(); const canMint = await di.dswap.canMint(ethers.parseEther('1000')); // Mint synthetic Bitcoin (virtual position) await di.swapRouter.mintSynthetic( keccak256('xBTC'), ethers.parseEther('1000'), ethers.parseEther('0.024') // min output ); // Note: 1-minute settlement lock applies ``` ### Perpetual Trading ```javascript // Submit limit order to order book await di.orderBook.submitOrder({ market: keccak256('BTC'), side: 'BUY', size: ethers.parseEther('10000'), price: ethers.parseEther('50000'), orderType: 'LIMIT' }); // Close position at market await di.positionManager.closePosition( keccak256('BTC'), ethers.parseEther('50000') // acceptable price ); ``` ### DUSD Staking ```javascript // Stake DUSD for protocol rewards await di.dusdStaking.stake( ethers.parseEther('10000'), 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 // 1 year lock ); // Claim rewards await di.dusdStaking.claimRewards(); // Unstake after lock period await di.dusdStaking.unstake(stakeId); ``` ## Monitoring & Analytics ### Key Metrics * **Total Trading Volume**: Daily/weekly trading across all assets * **Open Interest**: Total perpetual positions by asset * **Liquidity Utilization**: Percentage of liquidity pool in use * **Funding Rates**: Current funding rates for each asset * **Asset Performance**: Price performance of synthetic assets ### Real-Time Data * **Live Prices**: Real-time oracle prices for all assets * **Position Health**: Monitor liquidation risks * **Pool Status**: Liquidity pool utilization and rewards * **Market Activity**: Recent trades and position changes ## Roadmap ### Current Features ✅ * [x] Virtual asset system with clone factory * [x] Dynamic risk management * [x] Order book perpetual trading * [x] DUSD staking backstop * [x] Oracle-anchored pricing ### In Development 🔄 * [ ] Market maker incentives * [ ] Advanced order types (IOC, FOK) * [ ] Isolated margin mode * [ ] Mobile trading interface ### Future Plans 🔜 * [ ] Cross-chain synthetic assets * [ ] Institutional trading features * [ ] Automated market making * [ ] Regulatory compliance tools *** {% content-ref url="" %} {% endcontent-ref %} The DAssets protocol provides comprehensive access to global markets through synthetic assets, combining the benefits of traditional finance with the innovation and accessibility of decentralized finance.
