What Mechanism in AMM Smart Contracts Allows for the Rapid Addition and Removal of Liquidity?

AMM smart contracts include standard, publicly callable functions like addLiquidity and removeLiquidity. These functions are designed to be permissionless, allowing any user to interact with the pool at any time, provided they meet the function's requirements (e.g. providing both tokens in the correct ratio).

The speed of the addition and removal is limited only by the network's transaction processing speed and the user's willingness to pay a high gas fee for priority execution.
