[Background Music] Hero Entry!
Foundation Peer Protocol for Asset Exchange, Go Team Ethereum!
Order API is high level right now. Further details would be discussed in future papers.
getOrder & provideOrder
Quotes API is also similar, but for price exchange and not executable order. Can be executed if conditions are met later.
getQuote & provideQuote
Indexer API manages intent to trade using the following commands between the peers and an indexer.
addIntent(makerToken, takerTokens)removeIntent(makerToken, takerTokens)getIntent(makerAddress)findIntent(makerToken, takerToken)foundIntent(makerAddress, intentList)
Use external sources for determining fair prices of trade.
Similar for Taker Oracle.
Oracle API is getPrice, providePrice. Broadly just a source, like coinbase_prices.
fillOrder(makerAddress, makerAmount, makerToken, takerAddress, takerAmount, takerToken, expiration, nonce, signature)
cancelOrder: Before being filled, it fills the order, so later it’s already filled.
Event broadcast: ‘filled’ and ‘cancelled’.
Transfer Ether: if null takerToken address (0x0) then it will transfer ether in the function call on behalf of the taker to the maker
