Automated market makers (AMMs) are a type of decentralized exchange mechanism that uses a pricing algorithm to allow digital assets to be traded without permission and automatically, using liquidity pools rather than buyers and sellers.
AMM is a type of decentralized exchange
An automated market maker (AMM) is a type of decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol that relies on a mathematical formula to price assets. Instead of using an order book like a traditional exchange, assets are priced according to a pricing algorithm. Pricing information often comes from multiple APIs to always provide the most accurate cost. Also anyone can become a liquidity provider for automated market makers and receive a commission for trading.
