Yield farming and liquidity mining are two popular ways of earning rewards in decentralized finance (DeFi) by providing liquidity to platforms. Yield farming involves moving assets between different DeFi protocols to maximize returns, often through staking or lending tokens. Liquidity mining, a subset of yield farming, focuses specifically on providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in exchange for additional tokens, typically native platform tokens. These mechanisms incentivize users by offering attractive rewards, typically in the form of transaction fees or governance tokens. However, the high yields come with risks, including impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, and potential market volatility, making it essential for participants to assess the risk-to-reward balance carefully.
