Automated Market Makers (AMM) like QuickSwap are hugely popular in Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The Uniswap model has become a standard across different blockchains and Layer 2 platforms. QuickSwap provides the same functionality as Uniswap, but it’s based on the Polygon network instead of Ethereum. Although QuickSwap is a fork of Uniswap, key differences between the two have led to it being favored by some users.

What Is QuickSwap?

QuickSwap is a Layer 2 decentralized exchange and automated market maker (AMM) built on the Polygon network.

Launched in 2020, it uses an AMM model where users swap tokens without order books. Since it’s a DEX, Know Your Customer (KYC) isn’t needed. To transact, you need only a wallet to connect to the platform, and MATIC tokens to pay for the transaction fees.

How QuickSwap Works

QuickSwap’s AMM model rewards liquidity providers with a 0.3% fee shared proportionally based on the liquidity provided. The tokens’ prices aren’t determined via an order book but through a formula known as the Constant Product Market Maker.

Let’s use the OK/DAI liquidity pool as an example. We’ll refer to OK as x and DAI as y. With a Constant Product Market Maker formula, x and y are multiplied together to create a constant, k, that can’t change.

x * y = k

The liquidity pool will offer you a conversion rate, in our case, 3,000 DAI (y) for 1 OK (x). When you supply the 3,000 DAI to the pool and remove 1 OK, it will have a higher supply of DAI and a smaller supply of OK. This action causes the price of OK to rise as k is constant. In other words, you are using your DAI to buy OK. As more OK leaves the pool, its price in comparison to DAI rises.
