About Efficient Frontier
Efficient Frontier is a cryptocurrency algorithmic trading and market making firm. We spun out of a traditional finance high-frequency trading firm in 2017 and have since grown to become one of the leading market makers in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Our team is composed of traditional finance quants and traders, as well as experienced crypto-natives, all of whom share a passion for making cryptocurrency markets transparent and fair. As a designated market maker we are proud of providing a high standard of service and ethics, supporting numerous projects from launch to maturity.
Services
The designated market making service is optimized to build liquidity and maximize trade volumes while maintaining the highest standards of ethics and transparency.
CeFi
Efficient Frontier will make markets for the SSV token on Binance.com, Binance.us and Gate. On CeFi, we do this by quoting on both sides of the book for SSV’s markets so that traders and investors can trade efficiently. All trading is done through the exchange API, with 24/7 human monitoring in order to adjust the parameters based upon market conditions.
DeFi
On DeFi, Efficient Frontier utilizes bots and strategies to provide liquidity on AMMs, rebalancing the pool to maximize liquidity. On concentrated liquidity pools, our strategies and bots generate more liquidity with less funding. We optimize across different pools and networks for maximum liquidity.
Commercial Terms
Efficient Frontier will not charge a monthly fee for providing market making services. We take out a loan from the client and use this as inventory to provide liquidity for their markets. Additionally, Efficient Frontier bear the PNL, so that ssv.network avoids potential losses from the market making activity. Throughout the term, we will be trading in and out of our positions in order to hedge ourselves.
Efficient Frontier will take a loan in SSV. The funding size required at the start of service is $1,300,000 worth of SSV Tokens. At the end of the term, we will have the right to either purchase the loan at the agreed upon strike price or return the loan.

Ask:
We are requesting ssv.network DAO Community to pass a proposal to approve the transfer of $1,300,000 USD worth of $SSV tokens (based on the strike price) for market making services on Binance.com, Binance.us, Gate and Uniswap.
To facilitate the work of Efficient Frontier on the community’s behalf to execute market making and liquidity provision on cefi and defi, we request the ssv.network community to release $1,300,000 worth of SSV tokens.
Starting date: within 10 days of passing the proposal
End date: 18 months later
EF will return the loan or USDC within 48 hours from the end of the agreement period.
EF will send a weekly activity report to the dao address
Strike Price Calculation: The 7-day average price is calculated by taking the sum of the hourly candlestick prices on the SSV/BUSD pair on Binance.com for the first 7 days of trading (168 recordings) and dividing by the total sample size (168). Two strike prices are calculated by taking the 7-day average price from the deposit day and adding 10% and 45% to them respectively.

A Yes vote for this proposal would allow for the tokens to be released as a loan. At the end of 18 months, Efficient Frontier shall have the option either to (i) return the loan in SSV that was provided or (ii) purchase the loan in whole or in part for the amount as desired at the strike prices and return any remaining part of the SSV loan. If this option is not exercised (and the Efficient Frontier choses to return the loan), the SSV lent shall be returned to ssv.network.
A No vote would reject these terms.
