AMM Trading Curve

Algorithm

Automated Market Makers (AMMs) utilize a predefined mathematical formula, the trading curve, to price assets and facilitate trades without traditional order books. This curve dictates the relationship between reserves of different tokens within a liquidity pool, establishing an instantaneous price based on the pool’s composition. The efficiency of this algorithm directly impacts slippage and liquidity provision incentives, influencing overall market participation. Consequently, curve design is central to AMM performance, balancing capital efficiency with price stability.
