Roles
Roles within THORChain
In the THORChain ecosystem, there are four key roles that network participants may play:
Liquidity providers: these add liquidity to pools, earning fees for their temporary deposit
Swappers: those users who use THORChain's liquidity to swap assets ad-hoc, paying fees for the service
Arbitrageurs: expert traders who continually monitor and rebalance pools; still paying fees but with the intent to earn a profit
Node Operators who provide a bond and are paid to secure the system.
A single user may take on multiple roles simultaneously.
