DEX, AMMs, and Native DeFi
Explore XRPL order books, offers, automated market makers, liquidity tokens, vaults, and protocol-native financial mechanics.
What this category covers
The XRP Ledger includes exchange and liquidity functions at the protocol layer. These topics explain how order books and AMMs interact, how users express prices and limits, and where liquidity, slippage, fees, and smart operational controls matter.
After working through this collection, you should be able to:
- Explain how XRPL order books, offers, and autobridging work.
- Understand AMM pools, LP tokens, trading fees, and auction slots.
- Evaluate native DeFi mechanics without treating protocol functionality as investment advice.
