1/Based on what are pools @SBF_Alameda + and some key blocks analyzing.

Let’s see what @ProjectSerum and @SBF_Alameda got in their heads.
2, Pools are essential parts of DeFi and have unreplaceable roles in AMMs, lending, yield farming, synthetic assets, insurance platforms,...

Basically, pools are places where you store assets and are locked in smart contracts.
3, This is like you put money in the bank, that money is used to lend and pay the interests for the lender or like insurance companies use money of the majority to pay for a few when accidents happen. Pools will be used to do whatever the projects tend to do.
4, So what can be built on top of pools?
#AMMs: Instead of making a trade P2P like on order book. AMMs allow users to make a trade directly with a pool. You put assets in and take back others assets in pools.
5, #Staking: The same provides internal liquidity. Users deposit token to pool inside the protocol and the protocol use it for relating jobs like stake ETH in Ethereum 2.0 to improve security or stake SOL in Solana to become validator
6, #Lending/borrowing: The idea behind is to make a place that stores assets (pools) so that users can borrow/lend directly. Interest rates depend on demand/supply, beside that collateral are also deposited to pools to protect lenders assets.
7, #Aggregators: make a place to store assets, they are used in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of projects.

Pools are fundamental of aggregators like @iearnfinance , where users deposit assets to pools, after that the assets will be brought to make yield.
8, #Synthetic Assets: Minting synthetic assets also depends on pools. Users deposit collateral, link with trustable oracle data sources and mint synthetic token peg to any asset they want.

Others: And many more like #insurance or #tranche,....
9, Pool in @ProjectSerum eco
Serum (launched)
Serum is not only dex, it’s also a Main Pool that holds every asset in Serum and pools above it. (will explain clearly right after).
10, @RaydiumProtocol (launched)
AMM built on Serum and uses the same pool with Serum, that’s why I call Serum is a main pool. All projects built on Serum will attract and contribute liquidity to the ecosystem.
11, @bonfida (launched)
Pools in Bonfida have 2 types (1)index pool (2) fundraising pools (VC pools)

(1) Index pools: The purpose is for users to have the exposure to a “basket” of assets when only holding 1 token. Index pools consist of Serum Ecosystem pool & Holy trinity pool
12, Index pools with many assets can also become fundamental to build derivative products.

(2) Fundraising pools (VC pools): The idea behind is to allow users to buy token 10% cheaper than IEO prive but locked for 1 year. (aka: future contract).

13, @Oxygen_protocol (launched) is the 1st DeFi Prime Brokerage protocol on Solana. In other ways Oxygen helps you lend/borrow, generate yield, use leverage to trade and much more and everything is based on pools
14, Derivative
There are some projects standing out in this field: @mangomarkets @PsyOptions

Mango Market supports Margin trading and Psy support Options trading.
15,
Right now we can see some of Serum vision to build an ecosystem that all link together through pools. All rivers flow into the sea like all project liquidity flows back to Serum main pools.
16, Serum allows to customize pools and it will create flexibility for products in the ecosystem but at the moment, Serum eco still missing some KEY WORDS of DeFi and the projects developed on pools still not really decentralized.
17, But in overall with the major success of DeFi hackathon recently and one of the most dedicated and hard-working teams in the space. I’m really looking forward to the future ahead.
