The FOMOEgg egg in the studio, illustrating: What is a liquidity pool?
Short answer

A pot of two tokens that a DEX uses so people can swap. Trading fees go to those who supply it.

How to check it yourself

  1. Find the token's pool on a DEX tracker and note the two tokens in it.
  2. Check the pool's total liquidity and whether it is locked, burned or removable.
  3. Look at recent liquidity adds and removals on the explorer.
