An automated market maker (AMM) is a fully automated decentralized exchange (DEX) where trades are made against a pool of tokens called a liquidity pool without the need for a third-party intermediary. An algorithm determines the prices at which buyers and sellers can trade assets and regulates the values of the tokens in the liquidity pools. Examples of AMM include Uniswap, Curve, and MantisSwap.
An annual percentage rate (APR) is the % interest a user earns on their investment. Users can earn this by staking their assets in the protocol.
The native token of MantisSwap. More info in
Net Liquidity Ratio. It is the sum of all the assets divided by the total liabilities of the protocol.
NLR denotes the health of the protocol.
NLR >= 1 - Healthy
NLR < 1 - Stressed. Protocol fees are updated to return back to health.
