Liquidity Provisioning

Definition

Liquidity provisioning refers to the act of supplying digital assets to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to facilitate trading and other financial operations. Providers deposit pairs of assets into liquidity pools, earning fees generated from the trading activity that occurs within those pools. This process is fundamental to the functioning of many DeFi applications, enabling efficient asset swaps and lending. The availability of robust liquidity is a key determinant of a protocol’s utility and user experience.
