Pool Participants

Pool participants are Vesper's core users, making them a critical part of the community from Day 1. They often hold VSP tokens, but regardless they have an important voice in the community that is expressed through both their capital allocations and their participation in community conversations.

Multisig Keyholders

At inception, Vesper pool parameters and contract upgrades are managed by multisig keyholders, whose members include the founding team and external partners. Multisig keyholders execute the decisions made by the VSP community.

The initial composition of the Vesper multisig includes founding team members, and will quickly expand to include external partners. You can learn more about Vesper's decentralization roadmap in the section on the Decentralization Plan.

Liquidity Providers assist the Vesper community by providing two-sided liquidity to a VSP pair on the Uniswap platform.
