# Continuous Liquidity Pools The algorithm for processing assets swaps is given by: `y = (x * Y * X) / (x + X)^2`, where `x = input, X = Input Asset, Y = Output Asset, y = output` The fee paid by the trader is given by: `fee = ( x^2 * Y ) / ( x + X )^2` The slip-based fee model has the following benefits: * Resistant to manipulation * A proxy for demand of liquidity * Asymptotes to zero over time, ensuring pool prices match reference prices * Prevents Impermanent Loss to liquidity providers **Staking** The stake units awarded to a liquidity provider is given by: `stakeUnits = ((R + T) * (r * T + R * t))/(4 * R * T)`, where `r = SXP Staked, R = SXP Balance, T = Token Balance, t = Token Staked` This allows them to stake asymmetrically since it has no opinion on price. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
