What Role Does a DEX’s Automated Market Maker (AMM) Play in an IDO?

The Automated Market Maker (AMM) is the core mechanism of a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) that facilitates trading without traditional order books. In an IDO, the AMM is used to create the initial liquidity pool for the newly launched token.

The AMM's smart contracts govern the token price based on the ratio of assets in the pool, ensuring immediate and continuous trading capability once the sale concludes.
