Break down the barriers to fair trading, allowing every user to enjoy an institutional-level trading experience and truly stand on the same starting line in the DeFi ecosystem.

In DeFi transactions, ordinary users are often at a disadvantage due to delays and front-running. AutoFi relies on built-in automation and native oracles to achieve instant execution within the same block, without delays, front-running, or missed opportunities. It not only improves transaction quality, but also breaks down barriers to fair trading, allowing every user to enjoy an institutional-level trading experience and truly stand on the same starting line in the DeFi ecosystem.

AutoFi Era: Supra’s zero-block delay automation makes DeFi transactions fairer

In DeFi transactions, there is often a gap between the ideal transaction price you envision and the final execution price. This is not simply a matter of luck, but an inherent structural defect in the DeFi ecosystem - a market environment that is not friendly to ordinary users. The vision of decentralized finance is to create a more fair and transparent trading system, but the reality is that ordinary users often find it difficult to obtain matching execution quality and trading opportunities when facing professional traders.

AutoFi has brought revolutionary changes. Relying on Supras built-in automation and native oracles, AutoFi injects powerful automation capabilities into DeFi transactions. It is not just about optimizing transaction fairness, but fundamentally changing the way transactions are conducted - when your transaction conditions are met, the transaction will be executed instantly within the same block.

No delays, no false starts, no missed opportunities.

This innovation not only significantly improves the quality of transaction execution, but also completely breaks the threshold of fair trading, allowing ordinary users to enjoy institutional-level trading experience and truly stand on the same starting line with professional players in the DeFi track.

Current trading gap

If you have ever traded on a decentralized exchange (DEX), you will definitely feel the same way about the following dilemmas:

  • You spotted a trading opportunity, but didn’t execute it fast enough and lost it.

  • The transaction is in a pending confirmation state for a long time after submission, while the market has changed rapidly and is not in your favor.

  • Your trades are “sandwiched” by larger players, resulting in additional slippage and losses.

  • The stop loss order was triggered too late, and the final loss was far greater than expected.

These issues are not just inconveniences, but fundamental injustices in the current DeFi system. Institutional and technical traders use trading bots, private connections, and advanced infrastructure to execute trades at lightning speeds and seize market opportunities. On the other hand, ordinary users can only operate manually, click buttons and wait passively, with no advantage in the fiercely competitive market, and can only hope that the trades will go through as planned.

This is exactly what AutoFi is trying to change.

AutoFi’s Core Breakthrough: Same Block Execution

AutoFi’s core advantage lies in zero-block latency automation – a revolutionary way of executing trades that completely eliminates the time lag between when trade conditions are met and when they are actually executed.

The execution process of traditional blockchain automation is as follows:

  • Block N: Transaction conditions are triggered (e.g. ETH price falls below $3,000).

  • The external automated network detects this condition and submits the transaction.

  • The transaction enters the mempool and waits for confirmation.

  • Block N+1 (or later): The transaction is finally executed.

Under AutoFi’s zero block delay mechanism, the whole process is completely changed:

  • Block N: Transaction condition triggered (ETH price drops below $3,000).

  • Nth block: The transaction is executed immediately within the same block.

This is not just an increase in execution speed, but a breakthrough at the architectural level, compressing the time delay between transaction intention and actual execution to the physical limit. Your transaction conditions and execution no longer span multiple blocks, but are completed within the same atomic block time unit.

What does this mean for the on-chain trading experience?

1. Trade according to your rules, not the market

In traditional trading, the entire process from when you discover an opportunity to when the transaction is finally confirmed is affected by market fluctuations. With the AutoFi mechanism, you can set precise trading conditions and automatically execute them the moment the conditions are met - without delay or slippage.

For example, you can set the following trading rules:
“Buy 1 ETH with my stablecoin when BTC is over $80,000 and XRP is under $2.00.”

When these two conditions are met at the same time in a block, the transaction is executed instantly. You don’t need to keep an eye on the market or manually seize trading opportunities. Everything is done automatically and efficiently on the chain.

2. Complex trading strategies, easy to implement

Professional traders often use highly complex conditional trading strategies that are almost impossible for ordinary users to implement in traditional DeFi. AutoFi completely changes this situation, enabling multi-conditional trading strategies with machine-level precision and automatic execution:

  • “Automatically rebalance when asset A accounts for more than 30% of the total portfolio value.”

  • “Buy asset X, but only if its 4-hour volatility is below 5%.”

  • “If Bitcoin’s market share falls below 45%, I will automatically convert half of my stablecoins into ETH.”

These are no longer just theoretical possibilities, but strategies that can actually be executed without writing code, running trading bots or setting up complex infrastructure.

3. Prevent malicious trading behavior

In the current DeFi ecosystem, technical traders can see your pending transactions in advance and use front-running (MEV) or sandwich attacks to profit from them, causing you to suffer additional losses.

AutoFi completely eliminates this risk by executing and randomizing transaction ordering in the same block.

When your transaction is executed in the same block as the trigger condition, there is no chance for others to jump in line and profit before your transaction. Your transaction will be executed exactly as you set it, without external manipulation or arbitrageurs.

4. Never miss a trading opportunity

How many times have you spotted a perfect trading opportunity, only to miss it because you were away from your computer? Or were you fast asleep when the market was volatile and unable to respond?

AutoFi turns your trading intentions into a 24/7 execution agent - it never rests, never misses opportunities, and never gets affected by emotions. Your trading strategy always stays active and automatically executed when market conditions meet your set requirements - whether you are at work, in a meeting, or sleeping.

Real-world scenarios: How AutoFi works

Let’s look at some hypothetical scenarios to see how AutoFi can bring powerful advantages to ordinary users in actual transactions, surpassing traditional DeFi or manual trading methods.

Scenario 1: Perfect entry timing

Traditional DeFi: You expect ETH to rebound after falling to $2,000, so you set a price alert and keep watching the market. When ETH finally hits the target price, you rush to place an order, but by the time the transaction is confirmed, the price has risen back to $3,100, missing the best entry opportunity.

With AutoFi: You set an automated strategy in advance: When the ETH price reaches $2,000, automatically buy 1 ETH. There is no need to keep an eye on the market. ETH will automatically execute the transaction in the same block when it touches $2,000, ensuring that it is traded at the ideal price and never miss the opportunity.

Scenario 2: Portfolio Protection

Traditional DeFi: The market suddenly fluctuates violently. You receive a notification and try to adjust your position, but the price has already changed significantly. Your stop loss order is triggered too late, resulting in a loss far greater than expected.

Use AutoFi: You set up an automated protection mechanism in advance: If ETH drops by more than 5% within 1 hour, automatically convert 25% of your holdings into stablecoins. When market fluctuations trigger this condition, the transaction is executed immediately within the same block, completing the risk hedging before the price falls further and avoiding greater losses.

Scenario 3: Cross-asset arbitrage opportunities

Traditional DeFi: When you find that Bitcoin rises rapidly, some altcoins usually follow suit, which provides opportunities for arbitrage. However, due to the rapid changes in the market, manual operations are difficult to accurately grasp the best entry time, and you may miss the profit space.

With AutoFi: You set up an automated arbitrage strategy in advance: When BTC rises 3% within 30 minutes, automatically buy $1,000 of Token X. This strategy will be automatically executed within the same block when the conditions are met, capturing arbitrage opportunities at machine-level speed without manual intervention, achieving more accurate transaction execution.

Beyond the transaction: the bigger picture

While AutoFi’s advantages in transaction execution are obvious, its impact goes far beyond that. It is reshaping the core mechanism of DeFi:

Self-protection collateral

Traditional lending protocols rely on over-collateralization to cope with market fluctuations, while AutoFi gives collateral assets the ability to self-adjust - when the market changes, the system can automatically replenish funds or adjust positions, proactively avoiding liquidation risks before they occur to ensure the safety of funds.

A new level of capital efficiency

In the traditional lending model, users need to reserve a large amount of idle funds as a safety buffer, which reduces capital utilization. AutoFi uses intelligent fund scheduling to release liquidity when it is really needed and automatically withdraw it when it is idle, maximizing fund efficiency without increasing risk.

Composable DeFi Strategies

AutoFi enables cross-protocol automatic execution, allowing funds to flow freely between lending markets, DEXs, and yield farms based on preset conditions. This dynamic strategy architecture breaks through the existing limitations of DeFi and makes automated trading strategies that were difficult to achieve in the past a reality.

The future of trading: full automation

AutoFi not only improves the speed of transaction execution, but also fundamentally reshapes the DeFi transaction model. It completely eliminates the time difference between condition triggering and transaction execution, creating a brand new on-chain transaction experience:

  • Fairness: All users can enjoy the same execution quality, no longer constrained by barriers of technological superiority.

  • Efficiency: Funds are deployed accurately and transactions are automatically executed at the best time to avoid missing market opportunities.

  • Autonomous: Trading strategies do not require manual intervention and can be automatically triggered after setting conditions, without the need to monitor the market all the time.

  • Security: Eliminate front-running and unfair competition, ensure that transactions are executed according to preset conditions and are not manipulated by external parties.

The era of manual trading, missed opportunities, and poor execution is coming to an end. AutoFi allows trading strategies to be executed at machine-level speeds, allowing both professional traders and DeFi novices to get the same efficient trading experience.

The future of trading will no longer be about click speed, but about intelligent automation and precise execution. AutoFi is leading this change, and it’s already within reach.
