# Terminology

### Stable (Liquidity)

[Curve](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/swap) style of stable pool for correlated or loosely pegged pairs of assets, such as $SEI-$iSEI or $USDT-$USDC.

Stable pool is a type of liquidity pool that is designed specifically for assets that are expected to consistently trade at near parity, such as stablecoins or synthetics. Unlike traditional AMMs, which use a constant product formula (xy=k) to calculate prices, sAMMs use a constant sum formula. This helps to reduce slippage and price impact, making sAMMs particularly well-suited for stable assets.

Fee structure : 0.01%

### Volatile (Liquidity)

UniV2-style Variable Pool designed for uncorrelated pairs of assets such as $SEI-$USDT.

Variable Pool comprises two tokens that users can swap, with the exchange rate determined by each token's relative supply and demand through the constant product formula (xy=k). These pools are ideal for trading more volatile tokens, as they can rapidly adapt to fluctuating market conditions.

Fee structure : 0.2%
