# Overview

Liberty DEX is a permissionless, ZERO fee, gas less protocol, MEV protection designed for executing token swaps through a competitive auction mechanism across multiple liquidity sources.

Rather than routing trades exclusively through a single automated market maker (AMM), Liberty DEX introduces an open execution layer where independent participants compete to fulfill swap intents. These participants may source liquidity from AMMs, private inventory, or other on-chain venues in order to provide the best possible execution.

Liberty DEX is integrated into the Liberty Swap ecosystem and will initially support the Ethereum mainnet and other compatible networks, with additional chain support planned over time.
