Network Roles
Anyone interested in joining the Tidal ecosystem can choose to participate in one or more of the following three capacities:
Guarantors will be able to stake in Guarantor’s Reserves to guarantee a given protocol. Such reserves will have higher priority in the event of paying out a valid claim against the guaranteed protocol, as well as receiving extra yield - a percentage of all the premium sold for the guaranteed protocol. Protocol teams will be incentivized to provide Guarantor Reserves for their own protocols.
Liquidity providers are users that are staking their stable coins as insurance reserve capital with the intention to generate premiums on their capital in exchange for providing coverage for specified insured event(s), if there is no, or a low rate of, protocol failure.
Users or entities who wish to purchase TIDAL cover tokens generated by TIDAL LPs will be able to do so in TIDAL Insurance Coverage Pool. They are the equivalent of insurance policyholders, and are the beneficiary of the payout policy of the cover token purchase (in the event of successful claims assessment).
