The Impact
The essential primitive within any DeFi ecosystem is the asset exchange functionality. Automated Market Makers (AMMs) like Astroport enable swaps in a decentralized, non-custodial, way.
With Astroport, liquidity providers (LPs) can choose different pool types within a single and effective AMM system. Thus, anyone can onboard and trade tokens in a permissionless way. Moreover, no captain or bureaucrat can stop them, as the station is owned solely by its users.
