Fantom Chain Product “Spirit Swap”

Spirit Swap is a DeFi product that uses the Fantom chain. SpiritSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Fantom Opera Chain. In detail, The design of SpiritSwap is based on the Auto Market Maker (AMM) for Uniswap constant products. In AMM, a liquidity provider simply deposits a pair of tokens and the algorithm automatically creates a market for that pair of tokens. Hence, traders can easily swap between tokens with AMM and get a guaranteed swap rate. SpiritSwap charges a fee for each swap, which is distributed to liquidity providers. The bridge is linked to https://multichain.xyz , which allows you to migrate from other chains to the Fantom chain.
