Liquidity Tokens #131

Open armaniferrante opened 3 years ago

armaniferrante commented 3 years ago

A liquidity token mechanism should be explored. Something that rewards and incentives people to provide liquidity on a specific market. This feature has come up a couple times in discussions with projects.

One potential design described by @nathanielparke: You could set an address for an lp mint in an open orders account and whenever the dex matches a maker order it mints some of the lp token proportional to the size that was matched. You could then imagine changing the fee structure s.t. makers get paid a rebate or something via this pool token and they can redeem the pool token for the underlying fees that were generated from their trades.

Isn't Raydium doing the same thing, but as an external service?
