Decentralized exchange is where you can trade one Token for another. There will be thousands of Cryptocurrencies on the Core blockchain and using ShadowSwap Dex, you can discover and trade them with as little as one click and fast transaction execution.

To Trade a Token on the Decentralized Exchange, there must be Liquidity. The liquidity provided to the Exchange comes from Liquidity Providers ("LPs") who stake their tokens in "Pools". In exchange, they get LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens, which can also be staked to earn SHDW tokens in the "farm".

When you make a token swap (trade) on the exchange you will pay a 0.3% trading fee, which is broken down as follows:

**0.20%** - Paid to liquidity pools in the form of a trading fee for liquidity providers.

**0.05%** - Sent to the ShadowSwap Treasury.

**0.05% -** Sent towards SHDW buyback and burn.
