Overview
When talking about crypto, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have become increasingly popular due to them being open source, and available to anyone in many blockchains. Aura Network is obviously no exception. This documentation article will provide an in-depth overview of HaloTrade, including its features, benefits, and how to use it. Whether you are a seasoned cryptocurrency trader, web3 developer or a new crypto user, this guide will help you navigate and get the most out of HaloTrade.
What is HaloTrade?
HaloTrade is an automated market maker (AMM) protocol living in the Aura Network blockchain. It's composed of a suite of smart contracts written in CosmWasm and EVM to enable users to easily access all of the provided features via a friendly user interface (UI) without any registration needed or by interacting directly with the smart contracts.

Features
HaloTrade offers the full suite of features any modern decentralized exchange would have and of course, a beautiful UI that will make the user experience as easy as ever.
For a detailed explanation of how to use the UI of HaloTrade, you can head over to the User Guide section, where we describe the full process on how to make use of the whole protocol.
The main features of HaloTrade can be consolidated as follows: Trades, Liquidity Provision, and Farms. Let's talk about each one:
Trades
Any user can trade whatever asset they want to another one in a few clicks provided there is an existing pair or an available route. In case it doesn't you can always request the addition of a new pair to us. This is because only the contract owner can create new pairs to ensure only legitimate assets exist within a pair.
Liquidity Provision
Providing liquidity means depositing your own funds of both tokens in a trading pair token pool so that they can be used in the reserves for other users to trade with. This will reward the provider with trading fees according to the amount of traded value on the pair and the size of the provided value.
Once a provider deposits their funds onto the pool, they will receive Liquidity Provider tokens which they can use to farm.
Farms
In Farms, Liquidity Provider tokens can be deposited on the Farming pools, which will reward LPs for staking their locked value for a determined amount of time.
