1. Why be an LP? What's the risk and reward?

This piece is written by @Edyta from Phezzan Discord server

Liquidity providers send various assets that they own to liquidity pools. They bring liquidity to the protocol.

Rewards:

  1. Receiving fees from trades that occurs in the pools they contribute;

  2. In some exchanges, LP can receive protocol native tokens;

  3. In some exchanges, LP can receive LP tokens which they can stake if they want and get extra yield.

Risk

  1. Can be exposed on impermanent loss;

  2. Protocol might be hacked and assets can be stolen.

  3. Can get liquidated (partially or completely).
