### Summary of the Proposal

- **Proponent:** 12wWLUd5qMzLFGqBsMnHLVFeTuYJwuo5ygMAxuSywrBX1XSF
- **Date:** March 30, 2023
- **Requested DOT:** 74,785 DOT ($495,000)
- **Contact:** William Freudenberger (william@k-f.co)

The proposal focuses on improving the Statemint roadmap by addressing the issue of slow swaps of large volumes, which are vulnerable to front-running or sandwich attacks. This is particularly important for governance-driven transactions, such as paying out treasury grants, building DOT reserves for parachains, or diversifying treasury investments.

The solution proposed is the implementation of **TWAMM (Time Weighted Automated Market Maker)**, which allows for atomic swaps with immediate execution, even in illiquid assets. TWAMM is designed to eliminate front-running vulnerabilities by averaging the cost over a long period, making it harder for price manipulation.

The deliverables include the TWAMM-pallet, runtime APIs, research for optimization, a security audit, and a frontend. The full proposal can be found [here](https://centrifuge.hackmd.io/Q4AZOW2WRPq7Q0Ti3ee8Og?view).
