About OcelotDex
OcelotDex is an Automated Market Maker (AMM) built on ZetaChain, a revolutionary blockchain enabling seamless interoperability between diverse cryptocurrencies. OcelotDex leverages the power of ZetaChain to seamlessly support assets across all connected chains, fostering a truly interconnected and borderless DeFi ecosystem. This functionality is made possible by ZRC-20, a token standard integrated into ZetaChain's omnichain smart contract platform.
Understanding AMMs
An AMM operates without the need for traditional order books. Instead, it leverages smart contracts to automate liquidity provision through liquidity pools. Users contribute their assets to these pools, earning fees in return for enabling trades between other users. The price of an asset within a pool is determined by a constant product formula:
X * Y = Kwhere
X and Y represent the amounts of two assets in the pool, and K is a constant product that remains fixed. This formula ensures that as the demand for one asset increases, its price rises relative to the other, incentivizing liquidity providers and maintaining market equilibrium.Why ZetaChain?
