Liquidity Mining

Expand the Liquidity Pool to earn #AMPLIFI and $USDC Fees

Adding Liquidity is a means to expand the size of the liquidity pool. On Uniswap v2, this is generally quite useful, albeit not usually technically necessary. Increasing the value of a liquidity pool reduces slippage % and price impact %, making the protocol "friendlier" to larger holders who wish to enter or exit their positions. Just as too little liquidity is harmful to any cryptocurrency project, as is a liquidity pool with too much liquidity. As a result, AmpliFi incentivizes liquidity providers, whilst maintaining the ability to temper yield in the event more liquidity is added than necessary.
Any #AMPLIFI holder may contribute to the Liqudity Pool by pairing any number of #AMPLIFI tokens against the same value of $USDC, the current liquidity pairing.
Example: Holder A wants to earn yield by adding $3,000 to the liquidity pool. He interacts with the AmpliFi Dapp to pair $1,500 $USDC worth of #AMPLIFI against $1,500 $USDC.

Anticipated Liquidity Mining Returns

Target Yield: 42% (annualized) + $USDC Market Making Fees
Reminder: Uniswap v2 distributes $USDC fees to Market Makers. AmpliFi has no control over and is not responsible for distributing $USDC liquidity pair trading fees to Liquidity Providers.

Risk of Impermanent Loss

Impermenant loss is a risk applicable to contributing to any liquidity pairing on any cryptocurrency project. Impermanent loss occurs when the price of the token you added liquidity to decreases to a lesser value than it was when you added the liquidity. Similar to selling a token for a loss on a down-trend, if you choose to remove LP at that time instead of giving time for the token's price to stabilize, you may lose a portion of your holdings. However, the fees earned on $USDC and #AMPLIFI yield may still result in a net-positive gain, but this is situation dependent. Do not add to any liquidity pool without a full and complete understand of the potential risk of impermanent loss.
