## How Does a DEX Work?

To execute trades, underlying assets (e.g USDC and ETH) are deposited into a liquidity pool proportional to their price rate and when this is done, an equal amount of liquidity token are minted - these minted tokens can be used to redeem the supplied asset at a 1:1 ratio. This liquidity token is then shared among all liquidity providers with respect to the amount of their deposit and it represents their share in the pool.

It is worthy to mention that the DEX uses a constant product formula - **X** x **Y** = **K** to carry out swap or exchange operations.

X = the quantity of token A (e.g.: USDC) in the liquidity pool

Y = the quantity of token B (e.g.: ETH) in the liquidity pool

K = constant

Using our example, if the demand for token A (USDC) increased, the number of USDC tokens in the liquidity pool would decrease and therefore the price of the token would increase. In contrast, if it did not have as much demand as token B — ETH the price would level out.

In return, liquidity providers are given a percentage fee that matches their stake in the liquidity pool. So if you’ve contributed 10% of the liquidity in the pool, you would receive 10% of the fee. Despite your token (USDT) being locked when you provide liquidity, you still have a form of liquidity through the minted derivative token you received when you contributed to a liquidity pool. These tokens represent your holding in the liquidity pool and your pass to withdraw your contribution at any time.
