Transforming the arbitrage flow into the energy that powers an EVVM


Prize Pool
FlowVVM Transforming market-driven economic activity into the execution layer of a self-sustaining Virtual Machine.
Vision
FlowVVM treats the continuous arbitrage activity across AMMs as a reliable and verifiable economic signal. Instead of relying on gas fees, staking models, or external executors, the protocol captures this activity and converts it directly into computational throughput for an EVVM. The system aligns liquidity providers, arbitrageurs, and users around a single execution flow powered by existing market behavior.
Problem
Traditional blockchains exhibit structural limitations:
Gas introduces persistent execution friction.
High-frequency operations are financially inefficient.
User experience suffers from variable and unpredictable costs.
“Gasless” solutions depend on centralized relayers or subsidization.
Virtual machine execution requires artificial incentive frameworks (staking, bonded executors, etc.).
Execution is not anchored to any endogenous, continuously available economic driver.
Opportunity
AMM arbitrage represents a predictable, recurring, and unavoidable source of economic activity. Bots will consistently perform swaps whenever price discrepancies arise, generating measurable flow independent of protocol incentives. This activity exists regardless of FlowVVM’s presence.
Solution
FlowVVM integrates this arbitrage flow as the primary execution resource for the EVVM:
Arbitrage-initiated swaps trigger EVVM execution.
LP positions act as execution nodes, enabling validation and earning rewards tied to executed workloads.
Arbitrageurs implicitly fund computation as part of their operational cost.
Users interact with the network without gas, leveraging computation sponsored by the arbitrage flow.
This creates a deterministic, market-powered execution model where the EVVM sustains itself through ongoing economic activity rather than synthetic incentives.
FlowVVM establishes a direct, technical linkage between market operations and computational capacity, producing an execution environment optimized for autonomy, efficiency, and continuous operation.
The project integrates the EVVM with Uniswap V4 swap flow through a dedicated Hook assigned to the liquidity pool. Arbitragers participate permissionlessly by embedding EVVM transaction data in the HookData payload, enabling controlled access to liquidity for arbitrage execution. The Hook acts as the staker/executor, collecting EVVM-issued incentives and distributing them to LPs in a decentralized, automated manner.
