* **Discoverability**: It maintains a list of all [**exchange providers**](exchange-providers.md) registered in the system. | ||
* **Treasury management:** It has spending rights on the [**Reserve**](../reserve.md) and can mint and burn any stable asset in the system, thus it is responsible for moving around assets during a trade. | ||

* **Safety**: In service of [stability](../stability.md), it enforces [trading limits](trading-limits.md) in the protocol, constraining the volume of assets that can be traded over time. | ||

While it is responsible for moving around assets during a swap, it doesn't know how to price swaps. For that, it relies on [**exchange providers**](exchange-providers.md). These abstract components implement a unified interface and can be plugged into the **Broker** to provide exchanges between two or more assets. The first exchange provider that we implement is the [BiPoolManager](../../developers/smart-contracts/bipoolmanager.md).   | ||
