What is liquidity farming?

Liquidity mining (yield farming) is providing a liquidity pair of tokens to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in order to earn rewards. Since the primary goal of an exchange is to be liquid, DEXs seek to reward users willing to bring capital to their platform. They offer a share of the fees in return. Uniswap offers 0,3% of swap fees, Sushiswap — 0,25%, moreover Swingby Protocol pays rewards 2 swigby per ETH block (minted every 10 sec) to users why locked their LP (ETH-SWINGBY) tokens. Great explanation of liquidity farming is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClnnLI1SClA

What is impermanent loss?

Impermanent losses are one of the risks concerned with liquidity farming. An impermanent loss is when you provide liquidity to the pool and the price of the deposited assets changes compared to when they are deposited. The greater this change, the more vulnerable you are to a temporary loss. In this case, the loss means a lower dollar value at the time of withdrawal then at the time of deposit.
