Overview
The Miner app is where you setup your liquidity mining which allows you to see real-time rates of your return(rewards) and performance, check market leaders, and track your payouts.
What is Liquidity Mining
Liquidity mining is a community-based, data-driven approach to market making, in which a token issuer or exchange can reward a pool of miners to provide liquidity for a specified token.
- Open - Anyone can participate
- Real time - Track your earnings every minute
- Non-custodial - We can't access your tokens
You earn rewards by running a market making bot that maintains orders on exchange order books. How much reward you earn depends on:
- The amount of your orders
- The spread (distance to the mid price) of your orders
- How long you maintain your orders on the order book
For more information, please read the whitepaper.
