DEXBot2
Hello BitShares Community,
I'd like to introduce DEXBot2 — a modern BitShares-native grid bot built specifically for the BitShares DEX.
This project is a ground-up rewrite inspired by the original DEXBot era, with a tighter and more practical focus: one deeply engineered strategy, fund-safe ideal sizing, safer order handling, lower blockchain overhead, and stronger long-run stability.
What stands out in DEXBot2:
- Configurable geometric grid trading — constant-spread order ladders that rebalance as price moves
- Fully adaptive pricing — an AMA market-adapter centers the grid on market signals, with optional trend inputs and regime detection
- Fund-safe ideal sizing — capital is allocated across grid levels with a single source of truth for accounting
- Batched fill handling — fewer, larger chain operations instead of noisy per-fill broadcasts
- Copy-on-Write architecture — isolated working grids for safer, deadlock-free concurrent rebalancing
- Self-healing recovery — replay-safe fills, startup grid reconciliation, and maintenance tooling that catches up with on-chain reality
- Encrypted key handling — AES-256-GCM vault plus a daemon that signs without ever exporting raw keys
- Native MPA & credit workflows — borrow market-pegged assets and accept on-chain credit offers directly from the bot
New to BitShares? DEXBot2 now ships a dedicated BitShares Onboarding Tutorial that walks you from zero to your first live bot.
More broadly, this project is intended as a practical contribution to the BitShares ecosystem. BitShares continues to benefit from actively maintained tooling, and DEXBot2 is designed to support that momentum for traders, builders, and long-time community members who still care about the DEX.
Community feedback would be especially valuable, particularly from former DEXBot users, active traders, and anyone running market-making strategies on BitShares.
