Bancor’s single-sided liquidity pools are great. No math, no maintenance, no middlemen. At Bancor, you just sit back and collect fees. It’s DeFi made simple.

Korpi expressed: Do long-term liquidity providers (LPs) to AMMs earn passive income? What is their ROI when the impact of impermanent loss (IL) is included?
3 / 10
LPing involves investors lending their idle assets to an AMM in anticipation of passive returns from trading fees.

IL is the difference in value between holding tokens in an AMM liquidity pool and holding them in a wallet. This difference can be either equal to 0 (no IL) or negative (IL).
5 / 10
IL is dependent on the price ratio between two tokens in the pool. The bigger the divergence between the current price ratio and the initial price ratio, the greater the IL.

There are a few ways LPs can mitigate IL by taking a more active approach to LPing, however, none of them guarantee they will not suffer from IL and eventually incur a net loss…

IL is pretty painful in LPs with volatile assets and stablecoins. We come to the 1st (obvious) tip: 1: To minimise IL, add to LP positively correlated assets.

When using AMMs, traders pay a fee which goes to liquidity providers. It's a source of passive income which can mitigate IL or even produce net surplus.
9 / 10
Buy you have to share the fees with other liquidity providers. So your passive income from fees depends also on total liquidity in LP.

The higher V/L, the more fees you earn. E.g.: For daily V/L of 1 and 0.3% swap fee, your 1$ of liquidity earns V/L*0.3%=0.003$ daily, i.e. 1.095$ annualized (109.5% APY).
