What Are Liquidity Pools in DeFi, and How Do They Work?
Liquidity pools are smart contract-based reserves of tokens used to facilitate decentralized trading, lending, and yield farming in DeFi (Decentralized Finance):
How They Work โ Users deposit token pairs (e.g., ETH/USDC) into a pool, enabling trades without a centralized order book.
Who Provides Liquidity? โ Anyone can become a liquidity provider (LP) by depositing assets, earning fees from transactions.
Benefits โ Liquidity pools improve market efficiency, reducing slippage and allowing 24/7 decentralized trading.
Risks โ Providers face impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, and potential rug pulls.
Examples โ Platforms like Uniswap, Balancer, and PancakeSwap rely on liquidity pools for trading and DeFi operations.
Liquidity pools are the backbone of DeFi, enabling decentralized and permissionless financial services. 0 reply
