Liquidity Management on Soroswap

On Soroswap Finance, liquidity management is facilitated through liquidity pools managed by an Automated Market Maker (AMM). This automated approach allows for efficient and continuous asset conversion without the need for a traditional order book. Here’s an overview of how to interact with liquidity pools on Soroswap and get started.

What is a Liquidity Pool?

Liquidity pools on Soroswap enable users to deposit and withdraw assets efficiently. Automated Market Makers (AMMs) manage these pools using mathematical formulas to set asset prices and ensure constant liquidity.
