Yield Farming
Providing liquidity or staking assets in DeFi protocols to earn rewards, often in additional tokens.
Yield farming is popular in DeFi but highly volatile. APYs change fast, and many rewards lose value. Smart farmers research the protocol, understand risks, and often move funds around to chase better opportunities.
It's like putting your money to work in a high-interest savings account, but the 'bank' is a smart contract on the blockchain.
Real world: Users add tokens to a liquidity pool on Uniswap and earn trading fees plus extra governance tokens as rewards. Yields can look very high during promotions, but they come with risks like impermanent loss.
💡 Yield farming can generate passive income in crypto, but high advertised yields usually come with high risks.
