ELYS will function as a AMM (automated market maker) style decentralized exchange where users can choose to bring in liquidity in any of the tokens offered on ELYS to support swap activity, margin activity, and other future functionalities that may be built on top of this liquidity. For users providing liquidity, they will be rewarded through a variety of ways that are described in more detail below. Because ELYS is its own blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK, users may also decide to run a node to help validate & secure the network, or simply delegate to a different node to support them in securing the network. Nodes that validate the network and partake in consensus, and those that have delegated to nodes within the consensus set, will also be rewarded for their participation in the network.
