Liquidity Provider Fundamentals: How DEX Fees Affect k
Liquidity Provider Fundamentals: How DEX Fees Affect k
π€ k is not so constant

DEX trading fees have a direct impact on the constant product formula (k) in liquidity pools.
Key points:
- Trading fees modify the traditional constant product formula
- Fee collection increases k value over time
- LPs benefit from k growth through accumulated fees
This builds on previous analysis of k dynamics:
- Basic swaps maintain constant k
- Liquidity additions grow k quadratically
- Liquidity removals decrease k
