It may or may not be sensible to display both - but it's O(1) effort to tell git to revert the commit.

I actually vote to display both. I definitely don't like having to enter an amount just to get a feeling for the liquidity. But I also think volume is a useful thing to spot at a glance.

Volume is more interesting, being a comprehensible social stat. The liquidity *matters* and i would like to be able to find it out on the market page somewhere... But it feels like small print trivia, not a live market indicator. When liquidity can be added post-creation it might make more sense to switch back.

Well, except that ~half the fees currently go into the liquidity pool.

Not yet!

So liquidity of a market never changes?

Pool is how much mana was paid into the market minus how much mana was paid out of the market. DPM displayed this. Liquidity is how much mana was put on the table for people to trade with. CFMM displayed this.

Could anyone point me to an explanation of the two terms in the context of a manifold market? The "About" page still hasn't been updated to reflect the move to CFMM. My understanding of liquidity is really pretty vague.

My eyes are allowed to glaze over markets with 10$ liquidity, I cannot afford to ignore a market with 0 volume. Volume can be faked.
