## What Is Dodo (Ethereum)? Dodo is an [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)-based [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) with a “proactive market maker,” a customized version of an automated market maker ([AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm)). Dodo provides a way to issue and trade digital assets on the blockchain. It provides both its own and aggregated liquidity from other exchanges, which, according to its whitepaper, allows the exchange to offer the best prices for Web3 assets anywhere. Users can [swap](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) different tokens in a permissionless manner, either through [market orders](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/market-order-market-buy-market-sell) or [limit orders](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/limit-order). Dodo also offers gasless swap routes, which use professional market makers for deeper liquidity with zero slippage and gas fees. Furthermore, an [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) market enables the trading of [ERC-721](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-721) and [ERC-1155](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-1155) tokens. The [liquidity provider](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens) program is one of the ways to earn on the exchange, and users can add liquidity to receive LP tokens and earn a share of the trading fees. Another way is mining, where users engage either in single coin mining or LP market-making mining by adding funds to designated [liquidity pools](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool). There is also the option to borrow flash loans and deploy capital in a more efficient way. Finally, the exchange offers developers a tool to create tokens. Several blockchains like Ethereum, [BNB Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/) and OKChain are supported. ## Who Are the Dodo Founders?
