DeFi

Liquidity Pool

A collection of crypto funds locked in a smart contract that enables trading on decentralized exchanges. Users deposit pairs of tokens into the pool and earn fees when others trade using that pool. Liquidity pools replace the traditional order book model used by centralized exchanges.

Example

By adding ETH and USDC to a liquidity pool on Uniswap, you earn a share of the trading fees.
