We are delighted to announce that we are re-launching the ETH/ESS pool for the fifth time already! We were happy to see the amount of interest you guys have shown in staking and earning your ESS rewards — and it doesn’t seem to cease. That is why we have decided to launch round 5 of the pool on Unicrypt, and we have a feeling it will not going to be the last time either.
So, if you missed your opportunity before, make sure you jump in on this one. Below, in this article, you will find a detailed guide on how you can stake your tokens to the said pool, as usual.
Note: If you’re not sure if you want to earn ESS through farming, we have alternative ways like staking and masternode deployment.
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.
This was a short explanation of how liquidity mining works, you can check out the following video to learn more:
