What Is Yield farming?
Yield farming is a passive trading strategy in decentralised finance.
Usually yield farming strategies rely on on-chain liquidity pools and liquidity mining token distributions, which where any tokens are immediately sold. Strategies can be auto-compounding.
Yield farms operate solely on smart contracts and their strategies are limited. Often yield is not real yield.
Yield farms almost always aim for risk-free rate against their quote token.
