# Arbitragers

**Arbitragers are pragmatic animals**: they will swap when there is value to be made. They are looking for discrepancies in the markets and will automatically re-balance the market when they catch one. Antfarm is made for them: when markets will have shifted enough to compensate the high fees of the pool, **they will swap**, cashing in good-value token and feeding the Antfarm community with high level ATF.

<summary>Why would arbitragers be interested in low-volume high-fee pools? </summary>

Arbitragers are pragmatic, if they see an opportunity to make money, they will take it, even if it is less often than on a low-fee high-volume pool. For them, a market deviation is a money opportunity.&#x20;

Eg. Antfarm's WETH/USDC 10% fee pool has a price of 1,000 USDC per WETH. If the price goes over 1,100 USDC in other markets it creates an arbitrage opportunity: buying on antfarm's pool at 1,000 x 1.1 = 1,100 USDC and selling for a higher amount on a public market. It also works in the other direction if price goes below 1,000 / 1.1 = 909 USDC.

<summary>Will arbitragers be able to swap often on Antfarm? </summary>

No, they won't be able to swap as often as on low-profit pools, but when they will, it will be profitable and for a close to zero risk. Arbitrage is a very competitive field and Antfarm's focus is not towards the type of arbitragers that fight for the more popular pools.

<details>

<summary>What will arbitragers make of the ATF? </summary>

Arbitragers will need ATF to be able to swap on any pool on Antfarm.&#x20;

They will have many options to effectively use ATF:

* Holding early on, so that when markets become turbulent they can use ATF extensively to swap on any pool;&#x20;
* Buying it just before any trade or group of trades;
* Buying ATF and then swapping in the same transaction.
