Liquidity Protocols

Definition

Liquidity protocols are decentralized applications or smart contracts designed to facilitate efficient trading and exchange of digital assets by pooling capital from users. These protocols enable participants to provide liquidity in exchange for fees or other incentives, thereby reducing slippage and improving market depth. They are fundamental components of decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing for automated market making and lending without traditional intermediaries. Examples include automated market makers that allow for permissionless asset swaps.
