PotatoSwap's Exchange is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) native to X Layer and functions as a Decentralized Exchange (DEX). This simply means that trading can be done in a decentralized manner.
On PotatoSwap, one can:
PotatoSwap allows users to trade directly through it's user interface. There is no need to register for an account, KYC or anything. Users have custody of funds in their wallets at all times and will only have to approve trades that they want.
As an automated market maker, PotatoSwap relies on Liquidity Providers (LPs) which are users who creates or deposit funds into selected trading pairs (eg. OKB-USDT or any other).
Swapping on trading pairs will only be possible if a liquidity route exists.
Liquidity Providers (LPs) will earn trading fees and in cases where a particular trading pair may be incentivized, extra tokens or benefits.
On PotatoSwap, a trading fee of 0.25% is collected on every trade and it is separated two ways:
0.17% goes back to Liquidity Providers as fees
0.08% goes to vePOT holders
PotatoSwap has emissions built in to provide incentives to Liquidity Providers (LPs) who stake their liquidity tokens into a smart contract. This incentive is in place as an extra incentive to deepen the liquidity on PotatoSwap, as well as to combat the risk of that can occur to liquidity providers.
