Important: When you deposit into liquidity vaults, your funds get deployed for market-making activities on decentralized order books. Sure, you can earn trading fees from this—but markets are unpredictable. Volatility, liquidity dry-ups, or unexpected price movements could eat into your returns or even trigger losses. Before you commit any capital, take a hard look at your risk tolerance. Know what you can afford to lose.

Another liquidity mining scheme I have experienced... The 2018 mining crash started this way, with project teams first promising stable returns, then overnight slippage leading to liquidation. Most of these vaults are 99% Ponzi schemes. They claim to be market makers, sounding impressive, but in reality, they are using your money to gamble on the market. If they lose, they still cut your gains.

Liquidity mining sounds appealing, but you really need to think it through... You might wake up to a liquidation explosion.

It's quite honest; you just need to think clearly about how much you can afford to lose.

Hmm... Liquidity mining sounds like making money, but in reality, it's just betting that the market won't crash? It feels pretty risky to put money in.

It should be pointed out that this article makes a fundamental cognitive error. The risk of liquidity mining is not inherently "unpredictable," but rather lies in the **impermanent loss mathematical model**—which is clearly outlined in the Uniswap white paper. Most people haven't even read it. Undoubtedly, on-chain data shows that: 80% of LPs are cut in a bear market. But this is by no means a "bad" market; rather, participants simply don't understand the technical fundamentals of AMM. The real question is—do you dare to swear in front of the white paper that you understand what k=xy means?
