The SyncSwap Classic Pool is designed for general-purpose trading across a wide range of asset pairs. Utilizing the well-known constant product algorithm, (x * y = k) , the Classic Pool ensures liquidity and pricing for diverse assets, maintaining a balanced reserve ratio. This model is versatile and effective for various trading scenarios.

Features

  • Constant Product Algorithm: Uses the formula (x * y = k) to manage liquidity and pricing.

  • Wide Asset Support: Supports virtually any asset pair, maintaining a 50%-50% reserve balance.

  • Simple and Robust: Proven algorithm that provides reliable liquidity and pricing across diverse markets.

How It Works

The Classic Pool employs the constant product formula to manage liquidity and set prices. This model maintains the product of the reserves of two assets as a constant, ensuring that any trade will always adjust the reserves to maintain this balance.

  1. Constant Product Algorithm (x * y = k):

    • This formula ensures that the product of the quantities of two assets in the pool remains constant. As a result, any swap between the two assets will adjust their quantities to maintain this invariant, providing a continuous and automatic mechanism for price discovery and liquidity management.

Use Cases

  • General Asset Trading: Ideal for trading a wide variety of assets, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, tokens, and other digital assets.

  • Liquidity Provision: Users can provide liquidity to earn a share of the trading fees, benefiting from the broad application of the pool across multiple asset pairs.

  • Market Making: The Classic Pool supports market-making activities by providing continuous liquidity and facilitating efficient price discovery.

Comparison with Other Pools

  • Stable Pool: Optimized specifically for stablecoin trading, utilizing a hybrid algorithm to minimize slippage when asset prices are pegged around 1:1.

  • Aqua Pool: Dynamically concentrates liquidity around the market price, providing tighter spreads and enhanced efficiency for volatile assets.
