Impermanent loss affects nearly every DeFi yield farmer who has ever staked their tokens in a decentralized exchange like Uniswap or Sushiswap, and it\u2019s a similar story playing out in DEXs across every major blockchain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>You want to make money on the tokens you own, so you stake the tokens inside a liquidity pool like Uniswap, Sushiswap, Pancakeswap or any food-themed swap. Your money facilitates trading and generates fees from traders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Your tokens may go up or down in price, and that volatility encourages trading which generates fees. But it\u2019s that same volatility that can incur massive value loss in your holdings. Because as your tokens move in price, they can be automatically sold at a discount or bought at an inflated price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The result is you can lose money instead of earning. It\u2019s called \u201cImpermanent Loss\u201d, but more often than not it is permanent. We know it&#8217;s an awkward name, but welcome to crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>IL.wtf<\/span><span>, a new tool built by <\/span><span>APY.Vision<\/span><span> and <\/span><span>Bancor<\/span><span>, allows users to see how much IL they\u2019ve suffered when providing liquidity, and which pools have burned them the most. Released this week, <\/span><span>IL.wtf<\/span><span> tracks historic and current liquidity positions in Uniswap V2, Sushiswap, Balancer V1 and V2, Kyber and 1inch to calculate how much IL you have suffered over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>IL.wtf<\/span><span> calculates IL by comparing the value of your tokens in a liquidity pool (including fees collected) to the value of those tokens if you had simply held them in your wallet. Unsurprisingly,\u00a0 the data has made for grim reading for most LPs so far, including well-known Twitter influencers\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you haven\u2019t yet checked your IL, follow these steps for your chance to receive a $1,000 bailout in the form of BNT:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>1)<\/strong> Enter your wallet address into <\/span><span>IL.wtf<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>2)<\/strong> Click \u201cShare\u201d to tweet your IL (sharing your IL will NOT expose your wallet address) keeping the hashtag #BancorBailouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Every day, Monday through Friday, Bancor will randomly select a rekt LP who has shared their IL on Twitter to receive a $1,000 #BancorBailout. If your tweet is chosen as a winner, your $1000 #BancorBailout will be sent to the wallet that suffered the IL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To date, Bancor is the only AMM where LPs can \u201cstake and forget\u201d their tokens with full protection from impermanent loss via Bancor Safe Staking. Bancor has therefore become the most profitable AMM for liquidity providers as measured by protocol revenue. The graphic below shows how full impermanent loss protection benefits Bancor LPs over LPs on other AMMs:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To learn more about Bancor Safe Staking, visit: <\/span><span>earn.bancor.network\/safe-staking<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Related posts:<\/h3>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/btcmanager.com\/il-wtf-new-site-impermanent-loss-uniswap-sushiswap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeFi\u2019s dirty little secret is spilling out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":144814,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>IL.wtf: New Site Exposes Impermanent Loss Across Your Uniswap &amp;
