A comprehensive walk through on CandySwap
🚀💰💵CandySwap is a decentralized trading platform built on the Qitmeer Network.
The vast majority of cryptocurrency asset trading occurs on centralized trading platforms, such as Binance and MEXC. These platforms are bound by a single central entity (operating exchange company), and users are required to deposit funds as per the platform’s requirements and use traditional order book systems to facilitate trades.
Order book trading involves buying and selling orders presented on a table with their respective amounts. The volume of an unfinished buy or sell order for an asset is referred to as “market depth”. To facilitate successful trades in this system, a buy order in the order book needs to match with a corresponding sell order, and vice versa.
For example, if you want to sell 10,000 MEER at a price of $0.1 on a centralized trading platform, you need to wait for a buyer to appear who is willing to purchase MEER at this price or a higher price.
The main issue with this system is liquidity, in this context, liquidity refers to the depth and quantity of orders on the order book at any given time. If liquidity is low, it means that traders cannot execute their buy or sell orders.
Looking at liquidity from another perspective, imagine you have your own small stand in a marketplace. If this marketplace is bustling with people constantly buying and selling goods, it can be considered “liquid”. If the market is quiet with only a few transactions, it can be considered a “narrow market”.
What is CandySwap?
🐬CandySwap is a completely different trading platform, fully decentralized, meaning it is not owned or operated by a single entity, but utilizes a new trading model called the Automatic Liquidity Protocol.
In simple terms, CandySwap is a decentralized trading platform on the Qitmeer Network, providing liquidity services for MEER and its on-chain tokens. Its most significant feature is that it doesn’t rely on an order book system, it uses a design known as a constant product market maker, which is a variant of an automated market maker. This ensures efficient order matching while using smart contracts to guarantee the safety and reliability of transactions, free from control by banks, brokers, or any other intermediaries, realizing the vision of decentralized trading.
According to the latest data, CandySwap has achieved remarkable results since the fourth quarter of 2022, with its on-chain trading volume surpassing 200 million USD. CandySwap supports dozens of token trading pairs and offers cross-chain swapping. By using CandySwap, users can gain greater trading flexibility and convenience while avoiding the restrictions and risks that centralized exchanges may pose.
