Liquidity Pools: How to Earn Trading Fees
Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) don't have a central bank or company providing cash. They rely on Liquidity Pools.
Be the Bank
By depositing pairs of tokens (e.g., ETH + USDC) into a pool, you become a Liquidity Provider (LP).
- Earn Fees: Every time someone trades against the pool, they pay a fee (e.g., 0.3%). This fee is distributed to LPs.
- The Catch: Impermanent Loss.
Is it Profitable?
It depends on volume. High volume = high fees.
