High Yield Farming: Top Strategies to Multiply Your Crypto
Ready to multiply your crypto profits? Start here.
A Closer Look at Yield Farming
The dictionary definition of yield farming is “the process of depositing cryptocurrencies into DeFi protocols to earn rewards, including governance tokens, stablecoins, and even shares of the platform's fees”. In other words, it’s like earning interest on a savings account, but with potential for much higher returns.
How Does Yield Farming Work?
Yield farming is essentially providing liquidity to DeFi platforms. When you deposit your crypto into a liquidity pool, you enable others to trade those assets, and in return, you receive a share of the trading fees generated. Some protocols also offer incentives in the form of governance tokens to encourage participation.
Here are the different types of yield farming:
Lending: Lend your crypto assets to others and earn interest on the loaned amount.
Borrowing: Use your assets as collateral to borrow other tokens, which can then be used for additional yield farming opportunities.
Providing Liquidity: Contribute your assets to a DEX to facilitate trading, and earn a share of the trading fees.
Staking: Lock up your tokens for a specific period to support a network, and earn rewards in the form of new tokens or transaction fees.
The Current Scenario
Traditional yield generation methods currently available in the crypto market face significant hurdles:
Limited Yield for Non-Yield-Bearing Tokens: Lending platforms offer low returns, especially for assets that don't inherently generate yield.
Market Saturation: High liquidity and low risk associated with major tokens leads to saturated markets. The abundance of supply quickly meets demand, driving down potential returns.
Challenges with Automated Market Makers: AMMs require users to provide liquidity in pairs, which could lead to impermanent loss (loss incurred to change in asset value) and capital inefficiency (failure to reach potential return on investment).
When faced with these issues, the Multipli team had just one thing to say:
