How does Balancer v2 (Base) work?
Balancer v2 (Base) is an automated market maker (AMM) DEX. Instead of a traditional order book, it uses liquidity pools — smart contracts that hold pairs of tokens. Liquidity providers (LPs) deposit equal values of two tokens into a pool and receive LP tokens representing their share. When a trader swaps tokens, they interact directly with the pool; the AMM algorithm (typically a constant product formula x·y=k) adjusts prices automatically based on supply and demand. LPs earn a portion of every trade's fee proportional to their pool share.
