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
To give you an example, if you deposited DEFC and BNB into a Liquidity Pool, you'd receive DEFC-BNB LP tokens.
The number of LP tokens you receive represents your portion of the DEFC-BNB Liquidity Pool. You can also redeem your funds at any time by removing your liquidity.
Liquidity Providers earn trading fees
Whenever someone trades on DefiSwap, the trader pays a 0.25% fee, of which 0.17% is added to the Liquidity Pool of the swap pair they traded on.
For example:
There are 10 LP tokens representing 10 DEFC and 10 BNB tokens.
1 LP token = 1 DEFC+ 1 BNB
Someone trades 10 DEFC for 10 BNB.
Someone else trades 10 BNB for 10 DEFC.
The DEFC/BNB liquidity pool now has 10.017 DEFC and 10.017 BNB.
Each LP token is now worth 1.00017 DEFC+ 1.00017 BNB.
You can also put your LP tokens to work on the DEFC Farms, to make being a liquidity provider even more worth your while and still earn your 0.17% trading fee reward.
Impermanent Loss
Do remember, that by providing liquidity is not without risk, as you may be exposed to impermanent loss.
