Company profile
researched Aug 2026Ammalgam is a decentralized lending exchange (DLEX), a DeFi protocol that merges decentralized exchange trading with lending in a single product. Its core construct is the Dual Purpose Pool, which allows deposited assets to serve simultaneously as trading liquidity and as lendable capital, with the stated aim of increasing capital efficiency across a portfolio and reducing impermanent loss by putting otherwise idle assets to work. The protocol supports lending, trading and leveraging of any asset without relying on price oracles, and permits anyone to create a pool for any token.
The product exposes a set of preconfigured "recipes" that let users assemble and execute strategies including short/long positions, market making, delta-neutral market making, short/long market making, straddles, calls and puts. Users can borrow against their own liquidity positions, deposit assets at stated lower costs and higher loan-to-value ratios, and compound returns through leveraged Dual Purpose Pools. The protocol is live on Ethereum mainnet.
Business model
Ammalgam operates a permissionless on-chain protocol in which participants supply assets to Dual Purpose Pools that serve both trading and lending functions. Liquidity providers earn from swap activity and lending interest simultaneously, while traders and borrowers access capital from shared pools; users retain self-custody of assets throughout.
The protocol generates activity through swap fees and lending interest accruing to liquidity providers and depositors in its shared Dual Purpose Pools.
Traction
Ammalgam states the protocol is live on Ethereum mainnet and open for trading.

Market position
Ammalgam describes itself as the first Decentralized Lending Exchange and says it is backed by investors in DeFi. It sits at the intersection of decentralized exchange and on-chain lending categories.
Ammalgam positions itself as the first decentralized lending exchange, combining DEX trading and lending in one protocol rather than requiring users to bridge separate venues. Distinguishing elements cited by the company include oracle-free operation, Dual Purpose Pools that make the same deposited capital productive for both swaps and loans, permissionless creation of pools for any token, borrowing directly against liquidity positions with higher LTV, and preconfigured strategy recipes.
Technology
The protocol runs on Ethereum mainnet and operates without price oracles. Its architecture centers on Dual Purpose Pools that combine trading liquidity and lending markets, supports permissionless pool creation for any token, and enables leverage and borrowing against liquidity. The company states its security framework combines extensive testing, formal verification and reviews by external security firms.
Go-to-market
Ammalgam distributes through a self-serve web application on Ethereum mainnet and cultivates a community-led channel, including a Discord, a protocol blog and an ambassador program that offers ambassador yield and additional rewards to contributors.
