What Is the Economic Role of a Decentralized Exchange’s Native Token in the LP Process?
The native token of a decentralized exchange (DEX) often serves as an incentive mechanism to attract liquidity. LPs are rewarded with the native token in addition to trading fees, a process known as liquidity mining.
This token can also grant governance rights or be used for staking to earn a share of protocol revenue. Its economic role is to bootstrap liquidity and align the long-term incentives of LPs with the protocol's success.
