I'm curious to know if Balancer can be considered an automated market maker. From my understanding, AMMs are decentralized exchanges that utilize smart contracts to facilitate the trading of digital assets without the need for a central authority or intermediary. Does Balancer operate in a similar fashion, allowing users to swap tokens directly through its platform in an automated and decentralized manner? I'm eager to learn more about its functionality and how it compares to other AMMs in the market.
