### Traders

* Traders swap tokens using the liquidity pool provided by Pangea Swap’s liquidity providers (LPs.)
* For token swaps, a swap trading fee(may vary depending on token pairs) is levied. The fee is distributed to LPs and the stakers who have voted.

### Liquidity Providers

* LPs deposit token pairs in liquidity pools and receive a part of the swap fee paid by traders as interest.
* LPs may expect higher interest if they choose to provide liquidity in a concentrated price range by providing concentrated liquidity.
* When adding liquidity to whitelisted pools, LPs may receive additional STONE rewards by staking LP tokens to the Gauge.

### Governance Participants

* Participate in Pangea Swap governance through DAO

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pangeaswap.gitbook.io/pangeaswap/en/protocol-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
