Liquidity pools are one of the core building blocks of DeFi. They allow users to swap tokens, provide liquidity and earn from onchain market activity without relying on centralized intermediaries. This guide explains how liquidity pools work, how they compare with order books and staking, what risks users should understand and how KyberSwap helps users access deeper liquidity through KyberSwap Aggregator and discover pool opportunities through KyberEarn.
MEV, or Maximal Extractable Value, is one of the most important concepts in DeFi because it affects how transactions are ordered and settled onchain. This guide explains how MEV works, why it matters for traders, the difference between MEV, slippage and price impact and how KyberSwap helps users achieve better swap outcomes through smarter routing and Smart Settlement.
Price impact is the change in token price caused by your own trade. This guide explains how price impact works, how it differs from slippage and how KyberSwap helps users access deeper liquidity for better swap outcomes.
propAMMs are proprietary automated market makers that use active pricing strategies to provide onchain liquidity. This guide explains how propAMMs work, why they matter in DeFi, how they compare to traditional AMMs and how KyberSwap Aggregator with Smart Settlement helps users get better swap outcomes.
Slippage is the difference between the price you expect before a trade and the final price you receive after execution. This guide explains what causes slippage in DeFi, how slippage tolerance works, the difference between slippage and price impact and how KyberSwap helps users protect swap outcomes with Aggregator, Limit Order and Smart Settlement.
The best swap experience isn’t about showing a good number before the trade — it’s about what you actually receive when it settles. KyberSwap’s Smart Settlement introduces real-time execution intelligence to EVM onchain routing, comparing candidate pools at the moment of execution to maximize token output. Better quote matters. Better execution matters more.
