# 3.2 LP Liquidity Pool Contract

In Odyssey, all USDT invested by participants will automatically enter the pot and be permanently locked, and participants can participate by adding LP liquidity. Participants can choose to "purchase bonds" to obtain ODY tokens, or they can choose to purchase ODY from the LP pool for pledge. The investment strategy is 50% USDT + 50% ODY tokens. The LP pool contract is a liquidity pool contract or an automated market maker (AMM) contract, and is the core smart contract of decentralized exchanges (DEX) such as Uniswap, PancakeSwap, etc.

A pool of funds managed by smart contracts that holds two or more crypto-assets. Users (Liquidity Providers, LPs) deposit two assets of equal value to provide market liquidity for trading. The LP liquidity pool contract is open, transparent, and permanently locked. Global participants compete in an open environment and receive returns proportional to their contribution, reflecting the fairness of decentralized markets.
