Automated Market Makers (AMMs) revolutionized trading by eliminating the need for traditional order books! Instead of buyers and sellers placing orders, AMMs use liquidity pools and smart contracts to determine prices dynamically.
πΉ How does it work?
AMMs rely on a mathematical formula like x * y = k, where x and y are token reserves, and k is a constant. When traders swap tokens, the ratio changes, automatically adjusting prices. More demand = higher price! π
πΉ Who provides liquidity?
Anyone can become a liquidity provider (LP) by depositing tokens into a pool. In return, LPs earn trading fees but face impermanent loss if prices fluctuate significantly.
πΉ Popular AMM models:
✅ Uniswap – The OG AMM (constant product formula)
✅ Curve – Optimized for stablecoins (lower slippage)
✅ Balancer – Supports multiple tokens in one pool
AMMs make DeFi trading permissionless, efficient, and decentralized. But with great power comes great risk! Always DYOR before providing liquidity.
