    A constant product market maker, also known as a liquidity pool, is a key component of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. It works by using a mathematical formula to determine the price of assets in the pool. The formula ensures that the product of the quantities of two assets in the pool remains constant. When a user wants to trade one asset for another, they can do so by swapping the tokens in the pool. The trade is executed based on the current ratio of the tokens in the pool. This model is widely used in the world of cryptocurrency because it provides liquidity and allows for efficient trading without relying on traditional intermediaries. BYDFi, a popular DeFi platform, utilizes constant product market makers to enable users to trade a wide range of digital assets.
