How It Works
A typical yield farming strategy: Deposit USDC into Aave (lending protocol) → receive aUSDC + interest. Deposit aUSDC as collateral → borrow additional stablecoins. Deploy borrowed stablecoins into a high-yield farm. Key metrics: APY (Annual Percentage Yield, including compounding); TVL (Total Value Locked — higher TVL often means more stable yields); Impermanent Loss (the cost of providing liquidity to a DEX when asset prices diverge).
Why It Matters for Investors
Yield farming can generate returns far above traditional finance (10-100%+ APY in bull markets), but carries significant risks: smart contract vulnerabilities (protocol hacks have stolen billions), impermanent loss, liquidation risk if using leverage, and token inflation eating real returns. "If you can't explain where the yield comes from, the yield comes from you."
