Introduction

Mangrove is an EVM-compatible order book DEX, in which offers can be bound to a smart contract. In the order book, offers exist in offer lists, on the "asks" side or the "bids" side.

Mangrove's order book lists promises to trade, instead of locked commitments:

• Offer makers add liquidity promises to Mangrove. They own offers in offer lists and manage contracts that react to offer execution.
• Takers go to Mangrove to find liquidity by executing offers already in Mangrove.
• Governance adjusts Mangrove parameters, sets fees, and opens and closes markets.
