Liquidity Provider Incentives

Definition

Liquidity provider incentives are mechanisms designed to encourage individuals or entities to supply assets to a decentralized exchange or lending protocol. These rewards, often in the form of fees, governance tokens, or yield, compensate providers for the risk of depositing their capital. They are crucial for attracting sufficient liquidity to facilitate efficient trading and borrowing activities. Effective incentives are vital for the operational health of decentralized finance platforms.
