Liquidity pool
A shared pot of two or more tokens, supplied by users, that an automated market maker draws on to let others trade. Those who deposit into the pool (liquidity providers) earn a share of trading fees in return, while taking on certain risks such as "impermanent loss" (see AMM, Yield farming).
