# What is Oxium? Oxium is an order book DEX that allows liquidity providers to post arbitrary smart contracts (hooks) as offers. This enables features such as re-staking of liquidity held on other protocols, liquidity amplification and liquidity provision via custom strategies. ## Unlock your liquidity​ Oxium's order book DEX lists promises instead of locked commitments (liquidity is not locked on Oxium). It can be employed elsewhere until the offer is matched. For example, you can provide liquidity (LP) on another exchange and use this LPed liquidity on Oxium at the same time to trade or run strategies. This way, you can earn from up to any sources of yields, spread and rewards. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
