# Pools

A Liquidity Pool is a collection of funds locked in a smart contract that provides liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or lending platforms.

Each pool represents a unique trading pair, like BAR/CHZ or JUV/USDC. Users can add liquidity to these pools to earn fees from trades, or swap tokens using the liquidity provided by others.

A pool is a smart contract that holds two different tokens in reserve. It allows users to trade between these two tokens automatically, using a mathematical formula to determine prices.
