Sidra Chain's "SHARED POT" (Liquidity Pools)
For Easy, Ethical Trading
Think of it like a big, shared POT OF MONEY and other digital assets (like cryptoc) that anyone can contribute to.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
🔸 "Pot" of Assets: Instead of individual buyers and sellers directly finding each other, people contribute pairs of different digital assets into this shared pot. For example, a "Sidra Coin / USDT" pool would have both Sidra Coins and USDT.
🔸 "Market Makers" (But Automated!): In traditional markets, there are "market makers" who hold a lot of goods and are always ready to buy or sell to keep things moving. In Sidra Chain's liquidity pool, this role is taken over by smart contracts (self-executing computer programs on the blockchain). These smart contracts automatically decide the price of the assets in the pool based on how much of each asset is currently in the pot.
🔸 No Waiting for a Match: If you want to swap some Sidra Coin for USDT, you don't need to find a specific person selling USDT. You simply interact with the liquidity pool. The smart contract automatically takes your Sidra Coin, gives you USDT from the pot, and adjusts the prices within the pool based on that transaction.
🔸 Who Puts Mone/Crypto in the Pot? (Liquidity Providers): People called "Liquidity Providers" (LPs) are the ones who contribute their digital assets to these pools. They do this because they can earn a small fee from every trade that happens in their pool. It's like them saying, "Here, use my money to facilitate trades, and I'll get a cut." Sometimes, they might also get additional rewards in the form of new tokens (this is called "liquidity mining").
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT for SIDRA CHAIN?
🔸 Decentralization: It removes the need for a central company or bank to handle trades. Everything is done automatically by smart contracts on the blockchain, making it more transparent and less prone to control by a single entity.
🔸 Always Available Trading: Because there's a c
