The Elegant Mechanism

The greatest protocol looks like a simple tool.
Yet it processes billions without pause.
The deepest liquidity pool seems empty on the surface.
Yet it will not run dry.

The first AMM looked like a toy.
The first DAO was a command line.
The most elegant mechanism looks clumsy to those who don't understand it.

Perfect ships never.
Working ships today.

I remember dismissing simple swaps as "too basic."
My bags remember too.
