# Getting Started

Utexo Swaps is an Automated Market Maker (AMM). The core component is the exchange.

The protocol is operational on RGB, providing safe and decentralised trading opportunities on the Bitcoin mainnet.

#### Exchange Features

**Swap/Trade**

Utexo Swaps *enables users to trade directly from their own wallets, circumventing the necessity for a CEX. This ensures the retention of complete control over one's assets, obviating the need to entrust them to a third party.*

**Liquidity Pools**

*Token exchanges on* Utexo Swaps *are only possible when there is sufficient liquidity for those tokens. Without adequate liquidity, trading can be difficult, expensive or impossible.*
