Introducing a new feature on Ottó blockchain: Liquidity Provider (LP) pools!
Now, users can add or remove liquidity. LP pools are a fundamental component of decentralized finance. By providing liquidity, you actively participate in the DeFi ecosystem. This involvement allows you to earn a share of transaction fees while enhancing token liquidity, resulting in lower slippage and improved trade execution for Ottó Dex users.
