x = y * k pools). Weighted pools are suitable for very generalized use cases, particularly for pairs of tokens without price correlation (e.g., HONEY/WETH). BEX weighted pools allow you to create pools with multiple tokens and custom weight distributions, such as 80/20 or 60/20/20 ratios.
The following is an example with three tokens:
| Token | Weight |
|---|---|
| HONEY | 40% |
| WETH | 30% |
| WBTC | 30% |
Key benefits
Flexible exposure management
Weighted pools empower pool creators to fine-tune exposure to different assets when providing liquidity. The weighting of a token in a pool influences its susceptibility to impermanent loss during price fluctuations. For instance, in a WBERA/WETH pool, weights control the exposure profile to each asset: Higher WBERA weight (e.g.,80/20 WBERA:WETH) means that liquidity providers are more exposed to WBERA price movements, but it would require a larger amount of WBERA to change the relative price of the two assets in the pool. Conversely, equal weights suggest that the assets are expected to maintain relative value long-term.
