Decentralized Exchange Liquidity

Definition

Decentralized exchange liquidity represents the ease with which digital assets can be traded on a DEX without significant price impact. This refers to the depth of available trading pairs and the volume of assets held within a decentralized exchange’s liquidity pools, which facilitate automated trading via smart contracts. Higher liquidity ensures efficient execution of large orders, reduced slippage, and more competitive pricing for users. It is typically supplied by individual participants who stake their assets in exchange for trading fees.
