Notes & sources
Ammalgam. Borrow tokens or liquidity units. Liquidity borrowing pays out both tokens. Borrowing prices come from internal pool-derived time-weighted average prices, or TWAPs, without an external price feed. Pair creation is permissionless under an upgradeable implementation.
Uniswap. Swaps are native. Lending, collateral and combined yield depend on hooks or integrations. For lending and borrowing, EulerSwap connects v4 swaps to Euler lending vaults. Deposits and debt belong to the LP's Euler account; an ordinary swap does not open a loan for the swapper. Core swaps need no external oracle. The oracle-free lending row shows a dash because lending is not built into Uniswap's core. Source
Aave. Swaps use CoW. LP collateral is on the V4 development roadmap and absent from the reviewed activation configuration; proposed Spokes are not counted as available. Market listings require governance. Borrowing uses configured price feeds.
Morpho. Swaps use Bundler3's ParaSwap adapter, which routes execution to an external DEX aggregator. Morpho Blue and Vaults V2 have no native AMM. Stake DAO integrates wrapped Curve LP collateral in configured Morpho markets, including frxUSD/crvUSD. Vaults V2 support lending integrations with external AMM hooks. Uniswap's PoolVault implementation explicitly handles Morpho Vault V2; this verifies an integration design, not live deployment. The borrowing oracle is selected for each market. Midnight is excluded.
Fluid. Smart Collateral earns fees and interest; Smart Debt provides debt range orders. Market creation refers to listed DEX v2 Money Market pools. Oracle requirements depend on pool configuration; no v2 deployment configuration was verified. Source
Euler. EulerSwap 2 uses vault capital for swaps and lending. Eligible vault deposits act as collateral. Token borrowing can occur during swaps. Borrowing prices use vault-selected oracle routes. Source
Dual-purpose pools. The same LP allocation supports swaps and lending. Fluid uses Smart Collateral; EulerSwap connects AMM execution to lending vaults. Uniswap and Morpho require a hook/vault integration, such as the documented DualPoolHook and Morpho-compatible PoolVault. These are implementation capabilities; a live deployment is not assumed. Aave V4's lending pools do not include an AMM. Yield depends on actual use.
Smarter swap fees. This row compares quadratic fee models. Ammalgam includes reserve-based quadratic fees in its core. Uniswap requires a hook such as Clanker's quadratic volatility fee hook, which uses a different formula. Fluid has native dynamic impact fees, but these are not an explicit quadratic model. Euler requires a hook such as DynamicFeeAuctionHook, whose surcharge includes a squared reserve-ratio term. This experimental hook uses a different formula from Ammalgam's. Aave and Morpho have no native AMM fee engine. A dash does not mean a protocol lacks other adaptive fee designs.
Strategies. This row compares a builder for custom delta/gamma recipes. DLEX includes one. Uniswap requires an options integration such as Panoptic v2; v4 integration code is documented, but live deployment and UI availability are not assumed. Aave, Morpho, Fluid and Euler are marked not built in for this specific builder. They support other strategies through position tools, batching, collateral/debt ranges and custom curves.
Oracle-free lending means lending without external price feeds. Ammalgam uses internal pool-derived TWAPs. A dash indicates no native lending or external price feeds in the lending systems compared. Features depend on the selected position and market. Income is not guaranteed. Reviewed 9 September 2026 against local Ammalgam code and official protocol documentation.
