StellaSwap V4 is a next-gen, modular AMM powered by a concentrated liquidity engine **core** and reinforced with a custom **plugins** network for the ultimate DeFi experience.

Developed by Algebra, our V4 focuses on;

⭐️  Solidifying overall **security** via a focused & lean core\
⭐️  **Gas optimization** via the flexibility of plugins integration\
⭐️  **Adaptability** via upgrades that do not require any liquidity migration

### Plugins: Enhancing Your DeFi Experience

With Integral V4, we can radically add secure features via Plugins that'll make your DeFi experience better.

Examples of plugins include; \
⭐️ Dynamic & elastic fees \
⭐️ Limit Orders \
⭐️ Gas discount, or compensation mechanisms \
⭐️ Solutions for JIT liquidity issues \
⭐️ Impermanent Loss reduction

Unlike UniV4 Hooks, Integral’s Plugins can be updated or changed within an existing pool, eliminating the need to create new pools and reducing unnecessary liquidity migration.

### StellaSwap V4 Better than UniSwap V4?

The Algebra team has conducted multiple gas efficiency tests comparing Integral vs. Uniswap V4 across various swap scenarios on Arbitrum. Let’s take a look at how Integral outperforms in different swap operations:

While Uniswap V4 may be more gas-efficient in double swaps, Integral offers lower gas costs in large swaps, tick-crossing swaps, and high-volume transactions. Additionally, Integral’s modular architecture provides ongoing optimizations without requiring liquidity migration.

With **modular architecture, customizable fee structures, and enhanced security**, our V4 is a major step forward for DeFi. While Integral might not match UniV4 in multihop swaps, overall, it outperforms Uniswap in single swaps — **especially for large trades.** The ability to **tailor functionality through plugins** makes Integral a **more adaptable and future-proof solution** compared to Uniswap V4.
