How Pangolin works
Pangolin is an automated market maker (AMM) that is a fork of Uniswap V2 built on Avalanche. 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 Pangolin, users can earn additional yield by locking up their LP tokens to farm for native protocol tokens.
How Pangolin makes money
Pangolin charges a 0.3% fee on all trades within a liquidity pool. Of this amount, 0.25% is paid to LPs as a reward for providing liquidity, 0.0425% paid to PNG stakers, and 0.0075% paid to DAO’s swap fees wallet.
How you make money on Pangolin
You can provide liquidity to earn 0.25% of trading fees on Pangolin. You can also stake PNG on the platform to earn a portion of all swap fees (0.0425%) generated on the platform.
