Liquidity pools metrics are extremely misleading Seriously - just show REAL metrics, would make adoption much better and not a guessing game 1. Fees APY 2. Impermanent Loss % 3. Expected Earnings or Losses: fees APY %- Impermanet Loss % Also, show a clear Bottom Line Bottom Line: Liquidity provided - Impermanent Loss + Earned Fees Why is no one doing this? 🫤

As someone who does this for a living... 1. Fees APR is a meme. If you're an LP, you are market making. Historically this was a contracted quant heavy business because marker makers generally borrowed and could lose a lot of money in IL. They were contracted to supply liquidity *during* market events, so they had to be held to a standard to actually show up during downturns. 2. Again the problem is no one wants to supply LP during a downturn or market changing event. We see this at Aero/Velo where the best yields come during options turnover days (before 1st and 15th), and during some weird new information event. What's the point of talking about a global APR when LPs legit get scared and instantly dump positions? Those who stay in get huge yields, so the APR is basically completely not a gauge of your returns if you stay in while others aren't there. 3. So if the APR you get is determined by when you're in the market, it gets worse with CL. You have to be actively providing yield in tick.

Can you give a bit of insight into your own strategies? I’ve been trying to LP for a long time but never seem to profit.
