ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

AMM - ARCrypto

ARCIPEDIA · DEFI

Plain English

An AMM (Automated Market Maker) is the algorithm that prices and executes trades inside a DEX. Instead of matching buyers and sellers from an order book, an AMM uses a mathematical formula to set prices based on the ratio of tokens in a liquidity pool.

How it actually works

The classic AMM formula is x × y = k. Two token reserves (x and y) multiply to a constant (k). Any trade changes the ratio and therefore the price. Curve uses a different formula optimized for assets that should trade near 1:1 (like USDC/USDT). Uniswap V3 introduced concentrated liquidity, letting providers choose price ranges. The result: trades execute instantly without a counterparty, just against the pool.

What it means for you

AMMs are the structural innovation that made DEXes possible. The model has trade-offs — impermanent loss for liquidity providers, slippage for large traders — but it removes the need for a centralized order-matching engine.

How ARCrypto teaches this

We walk through the practical AMM math: how to read pool depth, predict slippage, and choose the right venue for a given trade size.
