Yield Farming
Yield optimization by depositing crypto-assets across multiple protocols.
Beginner-friendly explanation
Yield farming is a way to make your cryptocurrencies “work.” You deposit your funds on a DeFi platform to earn interest or rewards.
Example: You deposit stablecoins on a platform and earn interest in return.
Intermediate-level insight
Yield farming involves providing liquidity to pools or engaging in yield optimization strategies, often accepting certain risks (impermanent loss, reward token volatility).
Example: Providing DAI and ETH to a Uniswap pool to earn governance tokens.
Advanced perspective
Advanced yield farming strategies combine protocol stacking, inter-pool arbitrage, automation via vaults (e.g., Yearn Finance), and partial risk coverage. Net performance depends on impermanent loss, transaction fees, and market volatility.
Example: Using Yearn to automatically allocate funds to the pools offering the highest net yield after costs is an advanced yield farming strategy.
