FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What is Caviar Swap?
Caviar Swap is a pool-based centralised Automated Market Maker (AMM) on the Radix L1 Protocol
Is it a DEX?
No since smart contracts are not live yet on Radix. It is a centralised service hosted on our servers which uses similar bonding curves to Uniswap / Sushiswap / Balancer.
What is a bonding curve?
A bonding curve is a function of the balances in a pool that determines how much of token B you get in return for sending in token A - in essence it determines the exchange rate
What bonding curve does Caviar Swap use?
Caviar Swap currently uses a geometric mean bonding curve (akin to Balancer) with equal weights. This is equivalent to a constant product across all balances in the pool
Can I add liquidity to a pool and earn some yield from liquidity staking?
This will be enabled once smart contracts are live. However you can consider starting your own pool using our Caviar Pools service
