# Bonsaiswap Intro

Bonsaiswap is a platform based on [Uniswap V3](https://blog.uniswap.org/uniswap-v3) technology, capable of exchanging crypto in the most efficient way and earning crypto by concentrating liquidity between two prices. The first decentralized exchange exclusively made for Polygon zkEVM.

## Polygon ZkEVM

[Polygon zkEVM](https://polygon.technology/polygon-zkevm) is the leading zero knowledge scaling solution that’s equivalent with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, this means that most of the existing smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets work seamlessly.

Polygon zkEVM harnesses the power of ZK proofs to reduce transaction cost and increase throughput, all while inheriting the security of Ethereum L1.

Check Polygon zkEVM docs here [Polygon zkEVM](https://wiki.polygon.technology/docs/zkEVM/protocol/protocol-components).

## Trade

> Instantly swap crypto tokens: no registration or account needed.

### Low fees

Why pay more? Bonsaiswap runs on Polygon zkEVM, the main zero knowledge L2 of Ethereum with 90% less fees than L1 or Bitcoin.

**Trading fees are 0%** at the beginning, in the future we will add fees to certain token pairs. Take advantage of the 0% trading fees!

### Decentralized

Trade directly from your wallet app.\
Unlike centralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, Bonsaiswap doesn’t hold your funds when you trade: **you have 100% ownership of your own crypto**.

### Trade with Ethereum L1 tokens

You can use your Ethereum L1 tokens to trade them on Polygon zkEVM, thus spending much less fees. All you have to do is use the [official bridge](https://wallet.polygon.technology/zkEVM/bridge) between Ethereum L1 and Polygon zkEVM L2.

## Earn

> Earn AKADAMA and other tokens by staking crypto in pools concentrating your tokens between two prices.

### Earn Trading Fees

You can earn fees when you stake your tokens in Liquidity Pools.

Unlike previous versions of DEXs, by implementing Uniswap V3 technology we can take much more advantage of our concentration of tokens between certain prices. This means that our profit staking crypto in the pools is much higher. You can read more about this on [Uniswap V3 docs](https://blog.uniswap.org/uniswap-v3).
