Promotion of Permissionless Trading through Liquidity Pools
The new platform will promote permissionless trading for XRP token holders through liquidity pools instead of traditional order books, using tokens supplied by liquidity providers to settle trades.

By contributing liquidity to the pools, you can benefit from revenue every time a trade is conducted using that pool. However, this revenue comes with the risk of impermanent loss, when price fluctuations alter the ratio of the tokens within the pool and just holding those tokens would have been more profitable.
