Position Exchange

What is AMM?Automated Market Maker (AMM) is the underlying protocol used by decentralized exchanges with an autonomous trading mechanism. This eliminates the need for centralized authorities like exchanges and other financial entities. Put simply, it allows two users to transact their assets without any intermediary facilitating the exchange.<h2 id="header-0">Why does AMM play an important role on DEXs?</h2>AMM helps set up a system of liquidity where anyone can contribute to it. This removes any intermediary lowering transaction fees for investors. High liquidity is essential for healthy trading activity. If there is less liquidity, it could cause slippage. Low liquidity introduces high volatility in the prices of assets in the market.AMM also allows anyone to become a liquidity provider, which comes with incentives. Liquidity providers get a fraction of the fees paid on transactions executed on the pool.<h2 id="header-1">How do smart contracts</h2>When trading on an AMM, users interact with a liquidity pool. When a user requests a conversion from one cryptocurrency to another, a mathematical formula is automatically run to determine the value of tokens that the user may receive from time to time in terms of quantity and price.The simplest formula is X x Y &#61; K.In which:X and Y are the number of Tokens in the poolK is a given constant that remains unchanged.This equation will take the form of a hyperbola: a phenotype asymptotic to both infinity and zero at the extremes.Each trade will have a certain slippage - the degree of mutual influence between the order size and the last price executed. This type of hyperbole has lesser slippage on small orders, but the slippage increases dramatically as the order size grows larger. Uniswap has always used this formula, but other platforms may use more complex algorithms to actively adjust for slippage.<h2 id="header-2">AMM on Position Exchange</h2><a href="https://position.exchange/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Position Exchange</a> is an EVM decentralized exchange that uses AMM and Orderbook models combinably.
