Automated Market Maker (AMM)

Automated Market Maker (amm) [updated]

What is Automated Market Maker?

An automated market maker (AMM) is a sort of decentralized exchange (DEX) technology that prices assets using a mathematical formula. Assets are valued using a pricing algorithm rather than an order book as in a typical exchange.

Understanding Automated Market Maker

The Automated Market Maker (AMM) exchange protocol is a DeFI protocol. It is essentially a market-making bot that uses a mathematical algorithm to determine the price of a given crypto pair.

Instead of depending on order books, like traditional exchanges do, AMM relies on mathematical calculations, which may vary amongst AMM protocols. Traditional market making is a feasible option for organizations that deal in large volumes since it quotes the best price and most attractive bid-ask spread on order-book exchanges. However, the decentralized nature of AMM protocols allows any user to create new or contribute to current markets.

Typically, an exchange protocol will use a proprietary formula to calculate the price of the assets in the liquidity pool. Furthermore, there are some functional differences.

The following are some of the extant AMM protocols.
