Liquidity Pooling

Definition

Liquidity Pooling involves aggregating digital assets from multiple users into a shared smart contract to facilitate decentralized trading and lending. These pools provide the necessary capital for automated market makers to execute trades and for lending protocols to issue loans. Participants who contribute assets, known as liquidity providers, earn fees from transactions or interest from lending. This mechanism significantly reduces slippage and improves the efficiency of digital asset exchanges. It is a foundational component of decentralized finance, enabling permissionless financial services.
