Can AI agents use DexPaprika?

Accepted Answer

Yes. DexPaprika publishes an A2A Agent Card, MCP discovery document, WebMCP manifest, OpenAPI spec, and llms.txt.

Question 6

What is a liquidity pool?

Accepted Answer

A liquidity pool is a smart contract holding two or more tokens that enables decentralized trading. Traders swap against the pool rather than against another user, and the pool price adjusts based on the constant-product or weighted formula of the underlying DEX protocol (Uniswap V2/V3, Curve, Balancer, etc.).

Question 7

What does DEX stand for?

Accepted Answer

DEX stands for Decentralized Exchange — a peer-to-peer crypto trading venue running as smart contracts on a blockchain. Unlike centralized exchanges (CEXes), DEXes do not custody user funds; traders swap from their own wallets.
