Introduction to Pocket Network (POKT)
Pocket Network is an infrastructure middleware protocol which provides decentralized computing and abundant bandwidth on full nodes to other applications across many blockchains, including Ethereum, Harmony, Solana, Avalanche, BSC, Gnosis Chain, Polygon, and more. Pocket Network uses a native cryptocurrency, (POKT), to create a permissionless, two-sided market between node providers who run full nodes and developers that want to query data from a blockchain for their application/service. POKT is purchased and staked by both developers and node providers to participate in the network.

Gate will open an Automated Market Maker (AMM ) for POKT, and launch an AMM "liquidity-mining" rewards. Users who provide market liquidity by inserting liquidity in will get rewards from the liquidity pool transaction fee and GT token rewards from the liquidity reward pool. High annual rate rewards with security.

AMM Trading Market and AMM Liquidity Mining

Gate.io has launched a new version of the liquidity pool (centralized automated market maker (AMM) transaction service) on August 1st, 2021 by allowing most of the new currency and non-mainstream currency markets to obtain the same liquidity advantage as Uniswap, and allows users to enjoy the low-cost and high-quality user experience of the centralized platform. Gate.io will continue to add different currencies, please pay close attention to follow-up announcements.

The rules for markets to upgrade to the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model are as follows:
1) Fixed 0.3% commission fee for both Taker and Maker (temporarily consistent with Uniswap, subject to the needs of both market parties)
2) A fixed percentage (such as 50%) of the transaction fee will automatically be changed into GT through the open market and put into the AMM Reward Pool.
3) Anyone can become a liquidity provider (LP) and get the transaction fee rewards from the liquidity pool and the GT rewards that are invested in the liquidity bonus pool.
4) Liquidity providers provide liquidity to the market, but they need to bear in mind the risk of impermanent losses. For example, if the market price doubles, the impermanence loss is about 7%, and if the market price drops back to the original point, the impermanence loss disappears.
5) Liquidity providers can take the bonus and withdraw at any time
