### How Soroswap.Finance Works

Soroswap.Finance functions as an Automated Market Maker (AMM) through a network of smart contracts that standardize liquidity pool creation, liquidity provision, and asset swapping.

* **Liquidity Pools**: Each pool contains two assets. The pool’s reserves and pricing are managed dynamically by the protocol, updating with each trade.
* **Trading**: Unlike traditional exchanges, Soroswap does not use a central order book or private matching engines. Instead, reserves are automatically rebalanced, allowing continuous trading without the need for counterparties.
