Adapters

An Adapter is a contract that adapts the smart contracts of an exchange, yield farm, or other DeFi protocol to a common interface that allows it to be used by a Router contract.

---

Whitelist

The StrategyProxyFactory contract holds the address of the platform's current Whitelist contract. Anytime a contract attempts to interact with an adapter, it first must lookup the Whitelist contract and check whether the address has been approved. The whitelist is managed by Enso Finance and the community.

Swap

All adapters must implement the swap() function in order to be usable by Router contracts. Since it is expected that the Router will interact with the swap() function via a delegate call the adapter's state variables (such as external contract addresses) must be defined in the deployment bytecode as constant or immutable variables.

Spot Price

All adapters must implement the spotPrice() function in order to be usable by Router contracts. This function estimates the price to exchange one token for another. Exchange fees are not included in the price estimate.

Exchanges

Enso supports the following DEXes: Uniswap V2, Uniswap V3, Sushi, Balancer, Curve, and Synthetix. Interacting with these adapters allows a strategy to trade one token for another.

Borrowing

Enso supports Aave for borrowing tokens for complex strategies such as getting into leveraged positions.
