# Welcome to Aquarius

Aquarius is the liquidity layer of the Stellar network: an AMM protocol where anyone can swap assets, provide liquidity, and earn rewards — and where AQUA holders vote to decide which markets those rewards flow to. It runs on its own [Soroban](/ecosystem-overview/stellar-essentials.md) smart-contract AMM, making liquidity provision on Stellar fully decentralized.

## What do you want to do?

* **💫 Trade** — [swap](/user-guides/swap.md) any Stellar assets at the best available rate.
* **🌊 Earn** — [provide liquidity](/user-guides/pools.md) to earn trading fees, [AQUA rewards](/voting-and-rewards/aquarius-amm-rewards.md), and [pool incentives](/for-projects/pool-incentives.md).
* **🧊 Vote** — [lock AQUA into ICE](/aqua-and-ice/ice-tokens-locking-aqua-and-getting-benefits.md) to boost your rewards and [direct AQUA emissions](/user-guides/how-to-vote-for-markets-on-aquarius.md) to the markets you value.
* **🚀 Grow your project's liquidity** — attract liquidity providers with [bribes and Pool Incentives](/for-projects/for-projects.md).
* **🛠️ Build** — integrate Aquarius swaps and pools into your wallet, app, or bot (see below).

New to the underlying tech? [Stellar Essentials](/ecosystem-overview/stellar-essentials.md) covers Soroban, trustlines, and other Stellar concepts these docs rely on.

## Build on Aquarius

These docs are written developers-first. If you are integrating Aquarius into a wallet, app, or trading bot, start here:

{% content-ref url="/pages/VIrjZN1Dgsuvk2UYwrq2" %}
[Integrating with Aquarius](/developers/integrating-with-aquarius.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/E15XZpjMNMAEPDfcim5f" %}
[Code Examples](/developers/code-examples.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

* **Smart contracts:** the [AMM router](/developers/aquarius-soroban-functions.md) is the entry point for swaps, deposits, and withdrawals; [concentrated liquidity pools](/developers/concentrated-liquidity.md) have a dedicated contract interface reference.
* **Backend API:** ready-made [path finding and pool data endpoints](/developers/code-examples/get-pools-info.md), fully documented at [amm-api.aqua.network/api/schema/redoc](https://amm-api.aqua.network/api/schema/redoc/).
* **Monetization:** integrators can [charge a fee on swaps](/developers/code-examples/add-fees-to-swap.md) executed through their integration.
