In decentralized finance, users can earn returns by supplying their crypto to protocols — a practice broadly called yield farming or liquidity providing. The yields can look attractive, but so are the risks.
Providing liquidity
Decentralized exchanges need pools of tokens to enable trading. Users who deposit into these pools earn a share of trading fees. In return they take on “impermanent loss” — a loss relative to simply holding — when prices move.
Chasing yield
Protocols often add token rewards on top, producing eye-catching advertised returns. Those rewards can evaporate, token prices can fall, and smart-contract bugs can drain funds. “High yield” almost always means high risk, and unusually high yields are a warning sign.
