SyncSwapSyncSwap Classic, Stable and Range pools explained
SyncSwap's pool system offers three pool types. Classic pools use a constant-product formula for any token pair; Stable pools are optimized for pegged assets like stablecoins; and Range pools provide concentrated liquidity within a custom price range for higher capital efficiency, similar to Uniswap V3. The Smart Router picks the best pool for each swap automatically.
You choose a pool type when you provide liquidity on these pools; as a trader, routing is handled for you.
| Pool | Best for | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | General token pairs | Constant-product AMM (x·y=k), liquidity across all prices |
| Stable | Pegged assets (stablecoins) | Curve-style math for low slippage near parity |
| Range | Capital-efficient LPs | Concentrated liquidity in a custom price range, like Uniswap V3 |
What are Classic pools?
Classic pools use the familiar constant-product formula and work for almost any pair. Liquidity is spread across the whole price curve, which is simple and robust but less capital-efficient than concentrated liquidity.
What are Stable pools?
Stable pools are tuned for assets that should trade close to a fixed ratio, such as two stablecoins or a token and its wrapped version. They offer much lower slippage than a Classic pool for those pairs.
What are Range pools?
Range pools let a liquidity provider concentrate capital within a chosen price range. Inside that range the same capital earns more fees; outside it the position stops earning until price returns. This is SyncSwap's concentrated-liquidity option.
Which pool should a liquidity provider choose?
- Two pegged assets → Stable pool for minimal slippage
- A volatile pair, hands-off → Classic pool
- Active management for higher fee efficiency → Range pool
How does the Smart Router use pools?
When you swap, the Smart Router checks the available Classic, Stable and Range pools and routes your trade — sometimes splitting it — to get the best effective price. As a trader you do not have to pick a pool.
Frequently asked
Still curious?
Open the app or read the docs.
01What is concentrated liquidity?
Providing liquidity only within a chosen price range so your capital earns more fees while price stays in range — SyncSwap offers this through Range pools.
02Do liquidity providers earn fees?
Yes. LPs earn a share of the swap fees from trades that use their pool, proportional to their share.
03What is impermanent loss?
The difference in value between holding tokens and providing them as liquidity when prices move; it applies to AMM pools including SyncSwap's.
04Which pool has the lowest slippage for stablecoins?
Stable pools, which use math optimized for assets that trade near a fixed ratio.
