What Is the Impact of Deep Liquidity on the Amount of Slippage Experienced?

Deep liquidity (a large 'k' value, or high TVL) significantly reduces the amount of slippage experienced for any given trade size. This is because a larger pool requires a much larger trade to cause the same percentage change in the $x/y$ ratio.

Traders prefer deep liquidity pools because they can execute large orders with minimal price impact, making the pool more attractive for large-scale trading.
