Let's delve into the details! ### Q1: What is Sideswap? Sideswap is a ZK-Rollup AMM DEX based on Opside, providing liquidity, peer-to-peer token exchanges, and market-making for Opside users. As an open, permissionless application, Sideswap eliminates the need for trusted intermediaries and unnecessary forms of rent extraction, thereby facilitating secure, accessible, and efficient trading and earning processes through liquidity pools. ### Q2: How does Sideswap work? Sideswap, as a ZK-Rollup based AMM DEX, is a collection of smart contracts that define standard ways to create liquidity pools, provide liquidity, and exchange assets. Each liquidity pool contains two assets, with the pool tracking the total liquidity reserves and the predefined pricing strategy set by the liquidity provider. Each time a transaction occurs, the reserves and price are automatically updated, with no central order book, third-party custody, or private order matching engine. Since reserves are automatically rebalanced after each transaction, Sideswap pools are always available for token buying and selling, distinguishing it from centralized exchanges as traders can complete transactions without needing to match individual trading counterparts. ### Q3: What are SideSwap's official links? * Sideswap website: [**https://www.sideswap.finance/#/swap**](https://www.sideswap.finance/#/swap) * Sideswap Twitter: [**https://twitter.com/SideswapZK**](https://twitter.com/SideswapZK) * Sideswap Discord: [**discord.gg/7Ng5RqqXQW**](https://discord.gg/7Ng5RqqXQW) ### Q4: Where can I get IDE tokens for the test network?
