This is where Makers **must leave a native token provision (the bounty)** in their offer. Nothing prevents them from posting offers that will always fail. So, to ensure that the offers displayed on the book are credible, it must be costly for Makers to post orders that are not meant to go through. And in that case scenario, the bounty is then given to the Taker as compensation. At first, **this might appear to favor Makers**. However, with advanced market-making features that allow them to accept or cancel offers, **Makers can mitigate their risk** and offer better prices. Ultimately, both Makers and Takers benefit: the risk of offer failure is essential for the effectiveness of smart offers. Let's spend more time understanding [Makers](/star-here/what-is-arcadex/makers-takers-keepers/makers.md), [Takers](/star-here/what-is-arcadex/makers-takers-keepers/takers.md), and [Keepers ](/star-here/what-is-arcadex/makers-takers-keepers/keepers.md)(yes, that last one is a new term), shall we? --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.arcadex.fi/star-here/what-is-arcadex/bounty.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
