Liquidity Pools

When you add your token to a Liquidity Pool you will receive Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens and share in the fees.

LP Tokens

As an example, if you deposited CAKE and BNB into a Liquidity Pool, you'd receive CAKE-BNB LP tokens.

The number of LP tokens you receive represents your portion of the CAKE-BNB Liquidity Pool.

You can also redeem your funds at any time by removing your liquidity.

Liquidity Providers earn trading fees

Providing liquidity gives you a reward in the form of trading fees when people use your liquidity pool.

Whenever someone trades on Farmageddon, the trader pays a fee, which some of is added to the Liquidity Pool of the swap pair they traded on.

For example: On pancakeswap DEX

• There are 10 LP tokens representing 10 CAKE and 10 BNB tokens.

• 1 LP token = 1 CAKE + 1 BNB

• Someone trades 10 CAKE for 10 BNB.

• Someone else trades 10 BNB for 10 CAKE.

• The CAKE/BNB liquidity pool now has 10.017 CAKE and 10.017 BNB.

• Each LP token is now worth 1.00017 CAKE + 1.00017 BNB.

To make being a liquidity provider even more worth your while, you can also put your LP tokens to work whipping up some fresh yield on the Farms Section while still earning your trading fee reward.

Impermanent Loss

Providing liquidity is not without risk, as you may be exposed to impermanent loss.

“Simply put, impermanent loss is the difference between holding tokens in an AMM and holding them in your wallet.” - Nate Hindman
