# Symmetric v3

Symmetric v3 is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) and Automated Marker Maker (AMM) launched on Telos EVM Mainnet in November of 2023. &#x20;

Symmetric differs from typical DEX/AMM projects, in that the underlying logic and math used for pools is separate from what is used for swaps. This allows for significant customization and flexibility relative to traditional protocols. In addition to traditional 50/50 pools, where equal sides of a pair must be provided as liquidity, Symmetric brings the ability to adjust both weights of pools and the number of tokens in a liquidity pool. Pools can also use stable swap curves Examples:

* 80/20, golden ratio pools or other custom weights
* Pools that contain up to 8 assets
* Composable Stable Pools that allow for low slippage swaps on soft pegged or correlated assets&#x20;

All liquidity is aggregated inside the Symmetric vault and is easily accessible for swaps.&#x20;
