Glossary/Liquidity Pool

Liquidity Pool

A pool of two tokens locked in a smart contract that enables decentralized trading and provides liquidity. On Stellar, liquidity pools are built into the protocol layer.

Traders swap against the pool while liquidity providers earn a share of fees. Pool prices shift with each trade, which creates arbitrage that keeps prices aligned with the market — and the risk of impermanent loss.
