# Introduction
Glide Finance is a **Decentralized Exchange / Automated Market Maker, Yield Farming, and Staking platform running on the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC)** that aims to accelerate adoption of the Elastos ecosystem by acting as a source of liquidity for users and the projects built on it.
We're invested in building a strong foundation with our GLIDE token as a **governance token**, **diverse farms**, a built in bridge, and more features down the line.
## Main Features
#### **↔️ Trade**
The exchange is a set of smart contracts based on Uniswap V2 that allows any combination of two tokens to be swapped.
#### :ocean: **Supply Liquidity**
Deposit your assets into liquidity pools to earn trade fees and support the growth of the Elastos ecosystem.
**💸 Farm**
Earn GLIDE tokens for liquidity mining and staking, or earn other tokens by supplying GLIDE to special partnership[ ](https://apeswap.finance/pools)pools with other projects building on Elastos.
## 🤔 Why Elastos?
Elastos is a multi-chain ecosystem, which provides **secure, fast transactions with extremely low transaction fees**. The Elastos Smart Chain is one of many components included in the Elastos SmartWeb, **a fully decentralized internet where users are the owners of their own identity and data.**
We have chosen to build as early-movers on Elastos to support the growth of the ecosystem, and include novel features that merge decentralized finance (DeFi) technology with decentralized identifiers (DIDs).
