Pool Configuration

BEX offers two main types of pools, each optimized for different trading scenarios: stable pools and weighted composable pools.

​

Stable pool configuration

Stable pools are specifically designed for tokens that maintain similar values, such as stablecoins or wrapped versions of the same asset. They use specialized mathematics to provide optimal pricing and minimal slippage.

​

Token selection

• Maximum of 5 tokens per pool
• All tokens must have identical decimals
• Tokens should maintain similar prices (e.g., USDC/USDT/DAI)

​

Swap fees

• Range: 0.01% to 0.1%
• Recommended: 0.01% - 0.05% for highly stable pairs
• Higher fees may be suitable for less stable pairs

​

Initial liquidity guidelines

• Add similar amounts of each token
• Maintain balanced ratios (e.g., 1:1 for stablecoin pairs)

​

Weighted composable pool configuration

Weighted pools offer more flexibility and are suitable for tokens with different values and volatility profiles. They allow precise control over token weights and support up to 8 tokens.

​

Token selection (weighted)

• Maximum of 8 tokens per pool
• No decimal restrictions
• Can mix different types of tokens

​

Weight distribution

• Range: 1% to 99% per token
• Total weights must equal 100%

​

Swap fees (weighted)

• 0.3%: Standard fee (recommended for most pairs)
• 0.5%: Medium fee (less liquid tokens)
• 1.0%: High fee (exotic or volatile pairs)

​

Pool naming convention

Pool names and symbols are automatically generated based on:

• Included tokens
• Weight distribution
• Pool type

Example: 33WBERA-33STGUSDC-33WETH-WEIGHTED You can also customize the name and symbol.
