Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Review the audit findings on the Evolving Proteus contract before integrating with it.

REASON 2

Study how a time-based interpolating bonding curve is implemented for gradual price shifts.

REASON 3

Check the fixed-point math library for rounding-error edge cases in swaps and liquidity operations.

REASON 4

Use the audit as a reference for evaluating similar evolving-liquidity pool designs on Arbitrum.
