The problem with selling into a pool
When you sell a meaningful amount into an AMM, three things happen at once:
- Price impact. The pool prices against you as you sell. The bigger your bag, the worse each successive token fills.
- Taxes. Many tokens take a cut on sells, straight off the top.
- The chart. Your exit is public and instant. It prints a red candle, and everyone watching reacts to it.
The result: you announce your exit to the market and pay for the privilege.
The peer-to-peer alternative
A buyer who wants your tokens has the mirror problem. Buying size into a thin pool costs them impact too.
Robindex puts you both on the same side of that problem. The buyer pays you directly at an agreed price. No pool, no impact, no tax, no candle.
The pool takes a cut. Peers don't.
What it costs
A flat 0.5% of each fill, taken from the seller's proceeds. Buyers pay no protocol fee. Compare that to a pool exit of the same size, where impact and sell tax routinely cost many multiples of that, and print the trade for everyone to see. See Fees.
