Here we go again! We are delighted to announce that the Unicrypt farm will be relaunched again, for the fourth time, and we couldn’t be happier about it. For the past few days, we’ve been receiving multiple requests to relaunch the pool once again since the previous one was going to close. Seeing how keen our community is we couldn’t help but to provide. So, ETH/ESS farm will go on for the whole summer! Keep on reading to see all the pool details and a guide for those who are new to the party.
What is yield farming a.k.a liquidity farming?
“Yield farming is the process of lending cryptocurrencies to a variety of decentralized application (or Dapp) smart contracts for a set period of time, in order to receive rewards (or ‘yield’) in the form of additional cryptocurrency.”
In other words, you provide the liquidity — add the assets you currently have to the existing supply. By doing so, you become a liquidity provider. You add to the ecosystem and are rewarded for that.
What are liquidity provider tokens (LP)?
LP tokens are mathematical proof that you provided assets to a pool, you can think of them as a coupon or a receipt. Naturally, you receive them only after you provide liquidity.
