Part 5/9:
One of the primary distinctions Myth highlights is the node infrastructure. Maya employs a system of liquidity nodes that are more capital-efficient compared to Thor Chain's bonding model. While Thor Chain requires nodes to bond a native token to safeguard liquidity, Maya's approach involves using liquidity itself as a basis for economic incentives, leading to greater capital efficiency and better yields for liquidity providers.
Aaluxx explains that in traditional setups like Thor Chain, the total liquidity required can be disproportionately high due to the bonding structure. In contrast, Maya's innovation allows nodes to utilize liquidity not just to bond but also to generate returns, thereby lowering the "capital overhead" needed to facilitate swaps.
