While AMMs (automated market makers) represent a DeFi innovation in themselves, research and experimentation have pushed the possibilities well beyond the limitations of the classic x*y=k constant product formula originally used by LPs. One of the main innovators in this field remains Balancer - from multi-token pools with different weights replicating TradFi indices, to dynamic ratios that can be changed under certain conditions preventing further imbalances, Balancer set in place user protection measures. With the recent release of Balancer V3, developers get more freedom to experiment with AMMs, introducing features such as hooks that enable limitless pool customisation, boosted pools that combine LP fees with yield farming from money markets, and many more.Topics covered in this episode:Balancer’s inceptionThe evolution of AMMsBalancer vs. other AMM competitorsFungible vs. non-fungible liquidityBalancer v3Boosted liquidity poolsDevEx and hooks in Balancer v3Preventing stablecoin depegsMEV mitigation &
