Posted versus Matched Orders

An orderbook is like a marketplace with buyers and sellers shouting prices at each other from their stalls, but nobody will compromise on their prices until someone comes along and places a taker order, taking the best price available to buy or sell. Makers put orders on the orderbook and specify how much they would like to lend or borrow, and and what rate they are willing to lend or borrow at.

Maker: A maker order is the side of thee market that makes liquidity on the orderbook and waits for another party to take it. For example, with a limit order like 'offer loan' or 'borrow request'.

Taker: A taker order is one that takes liquidity from the orderbook by using a market order like 'borrow now' or 'lend now'.
