Looping DEX LP

Providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) can also leverage yield strategies, particularly by using LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens as collateral.

How It Works:

  1. Initial Liquidity Provision: A user provides two assets (e.g., TON and USDT) to a DEX liquidity pool and receives LP tokens representing their share of the pool.

  2. Collateralizing LP Tokens: These LP tokens are used as collateral in a Factorial to borrow additional assets (e.g., TON or USDT).

  3. Reinvestment: The borrowed TON and USDT can be paired to provide additional liquidity, minting more LP tokens and repeating the process.

  4. Yield Generation: Users earn trading fees, DEX and Foundation incentives, and potentially staking rewards on the compounded liquidity.

Key Considerations:

  • Impermanent Loss: Volatility between the two paired assets could reduce returns if the pool’s asset ratio changes significantly.

  • Borrowing Costs: Ensure that lending rates are lower than the combined yield from fees and rewards.

  • Farming Incentives: Some pools offer additional token rewards, which can significantly enhance profitability.
