How BaseSwap works
BaseSwap is an automated market maker (AMM) like Uniswap that launched in 2023 on Base chain. AMMs rely on liquidity pools rather than traditional order books to execute decentralized trades. The liquidity pools are funded by users who deposit two tokens in equal proportion in exchange for a liquidity provider (LP) token that represents their claims to their share of the total pool, plus a portion of trading fees. On BaseSwap, users can earn additional yield by staking their LP tokens to farm for the protocol's native BSWAP token.
How BaseSwap makes money
BaseSwap charges a 0.25% fee on all trades within a liquidity pool. A portion of swap fees is allocated to users who stake BSWAP tokens on the platform.
How you make money on BaseSwap
You can provide liquidity for market making pairs to earn BSWAP tokens. You can then stake the BSWAP tokens on the platform to earn additional rewards paid in either USDC or ETH.
