Liquidity pools are shared pots of two tokens. Anyone can drop assets into the pot and earn a slice of the fees generated when traders swap. The pool’s balance sets the exchange rate, so if one side gets too thin the shifts to attract more deposits. This automatic pricing is called an AMM – an algorithmic market maker. You don’t need an order book or a counter‑party. Your reward comes from the trading activity, not from holding the token itself. It’s simple, but the risk is impermanent loss if the market moves sharply. #DeFi #LiquidityPools #CryptoEducation
