# Welcome to Aquarius

## Overview

Aquarius has been operating since 2021 as a liquidity layer designed to incentivize market-making and liquidity provision on Stellar’s native DEX and AMMs. In 2024, it transitioned to a proprietary [Soroban](https://docs.aqua.network/ecosystem-overview/what-is-soroban) AMM solution, enabling fully decentralized liquidity provision on Stellar.

What started as an incentivization model for Stellar's native DEX and AMMs has since evolved into a decentralized finance (DeFi) application, allowing the deployment of various liquidity pools. 

With [Aquarius AMMs](https://docs.aqua.network/amm-and-pools), anyone can participate—users can deposit and withdraw funds, earn rewards for providing liquidity, and utilize our Swap interface to exchange a wide range of Stellar assets.
