### Integration Types

There are three types of protocol integrations:

* **Native** protocols have been implemented using an analytical approach and are ported to Rust - faster simulation.
* **VM** protocols execute the VM bytecode locally - this is easier to integrate the more complex protocols, however has slower simulation times than a native implementation.
  * Some VM protocols are **DCI indexed**. DCI is our Dynamic Contract Indexer and provides more flexibility on indexing restraints. Note - these protocols tend to serve a lot of data and experience occasional streaming delays.
* **Hybrid** uses a combination of the two - native for general protocol logic portable to Rust, and VM for the more complex or pool-specific logic.

Interested in adding a protocol? Refer to the [Tycho Simulation for DEXs](/tycho/for-dexs/protocol-integration.md) documentation for implementation guidelines.

### Protocol-Specific Details

While most protocols work out of the box, some require additional configuration or have specific considerations you should be aware of.

#### Angstrom (Uniswap V4 Hook)

Angstrom requires querying their [API for attestations](https://docs.angstrom.xyz/l1/core-mechanisms/pool-unlock#2-user-initiated-off-chain-signature-unlock) per block to unlock their contract. If execution comes too late, the contract can no longer be unlocked for that block.

**Required configuration**:

* Set the `ANGSTROM_API_KEY` environment variable (request one from the Angstrom team directly)
* Set `ANGSTROM_BLOCKS_IN_FUTURE` environment variable (if you want to override the [default value](https://github.com/propeller-heads/tycho-indexer/blob/main/crates/tycho-execution/src/encoding/evm/constants.rs) of 5 blocks). **Important trade-off**: The more blocks you fetch, the more calldata will be sent to the Tycho Router, making execution more gas expensive.

If `ANGSTROM_API_KEY` is not set, `ProtocolStreamBuilder` excludes Angstrom pools from `uniswap_v4_hooks` by default (unless you pass your own filter function), since routes over these pools would fail at encoding without attestations.
