✅ Master Automated Market Makers

Understand AMM mechanics, liquidity providing, and trading fees

✅ Key Takeaways

Congratulations! You've learned how Automated Market Makers revolutionized DeFi. Let's review the essential concepts and test your knowledge.

🔢

Constant Product Formula

x × y = k is the mathematical foundation ensuring automated, permissionless trading with infinite theoretical liquidity.

💧

Liquidity Provision

LPs earn trading fees by depositing equal values of both tokens, but face impermanent loss when prices diverge.

📉

Impermanent Loss

Price changes cause IL, but it's "impermanent" until withdrawal. Trading fees can offset this loss over time.

Advanced Risks

Slippage, MEV, and frontrunning affect trades. Use slippage tolerance and protective measures to mitigate risks.

💡 Remember

  • AMMs enable permissionless, 24/7 trading without order books
  • Large trades have exponentially larger price impact due to the formula
  • LP tokens represent your share of the pool and accumulated fees
  • Impermanent loss increases with price volatility of pool assets
  • Newer AMM designs like concentrated liquidity offer better capital efficiency
