Liquidity Pools

Provide liquidity for a token pair and earn a share of the fee for each trade between those tokens.

A liquidity pool is an accumulation of funds locked in a smart contract. It is used to facilitate decentralized trading by providing liquidity to a pair of tokens.

All users who provide tokens to the smart contract are liquidity providers, and they gain a share of the fee for each trade in the token pair they provided.
