Automated Market Making refers to a protocol that facilitates asset trading on decentralized exchanges without traditional order books. It utilizes mathematical formulas and liquidity pools to determine asset prices and execute trades. Users supply capital to these pools, receiving fees from transactions as compensation for providing liquidity. This method eliminates the requirement for intermediaries and constant human oversight in price setting.
