Maximizing Farm Yields

- Consistent rewards
- Minimal impermanent loss

Example: Full range on USDE/USDC
- Set and forget
- Steady returns

Reward Calculations

Base Formula

Your Rewards = (Your Liquidity / Total Liquidity) × Daily Rewards × Time

With Multipliers

Final Rewards = Base Rewards × Points Multiplier × Tier Multiplier
(Note: All multipliers are currently 1x)

Example Calculation

Investment: $10,000 in WHYPE/USDE
Pool TVL: $1,000,000
Your Share: 1%
Daily Rewards: 10,000 points
Base Earning: 100 points/day

With 1x multiplier: 100 points/day
With Diamond tier (1x): 100 points/day
Monthly total: 3,000 points

Risk Management

Understanding Risks

  1. Impermanent Loss: Price divergence reduces value
  2. Out of Range: Stop earning when price moves
  3. Opportunity Cost: Locked capital vs other uses
  4. Smart Contract Risk: Audited but never zero

Mitigation Strategies

  • Start with stable pairs
  • Use wider ranges initially
  • Diversify across multiple farms
  • Monitor positions regularly
  • Take profits periodically
