What Is the Role of the Liquidity Provider (LP) in a DEX’s Revenue Model?
Liquidity providers (LPs) are essential to a DEX, as they deposit token pairs into pools, enabling trades. In return, LPs earn a share of the transaction fees generated from the trades that occur in their pool.
This fee share is their primary form of revenue. The protocol's revenue model often involves taking a small cut of these fees before they are distributed to the LPs.
