what's Aquarius?
Aquarius is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Stellar blockchain, serving as its primary liquidity hub. It enables users to perform instant token swaps, provide liquidity to automated market makers (AMMs), earn rewards through liquidity mining, and participate in governance decisions. The platform leverages Stellar's efficient consensus mechanism for low-cost, high-speed transactions, focusing on accessibility and deep liquidity pools for popular assets. Key features include stable swap logic for minimizing slippage in volatile markets, reward emissions tied to liquidity provision, and integration with Stellar's smart contract capabilities via Protocol 20. Aquarius uses its native token for incentives, voting, and ecosystem participation, fostering a sustainable DeFi environment on Stellar without the high fees of other chains.
