These tokens are received when users provide liquidity to trading pools on BeeDex. By participating in [LP farming](https://beedex.io/farm), users earn rewards in the form of **BEE tokens**, while also supporting the decentralized exchange by maintaining its liquidity. *** #### **Key Terms Explained** **1. Pool** * A pool refers to the trading pair for which liquidity is provided, such as **WLOOP-BEE-LP**. * Users provide equal values of two tokens (e.g., WLOOP and BEE) to create LP tokens, which represent their share in the pool. **2. APR (Annual Percentage Rate)** * The APR reflects the potential annual returns from farming, expressed as a percentage. It includes: * Rewards earned per block. * Fees collected from trades within the pool. * APR will vary based on the pool's performance, the total value locked (TVL), and the number of participants. **3. Block Rewards** * These are rewards distributed to LP farmers for every block created on the blockchain. * On BeeDex, the **block rewards** for the example pool are **0.05 BEE per block**, shared proportionally among all stakers. **4. Deposit Fee** * When depositing LP tokens into a farming pool, a **1% deposit fee** is charged. * Example: For 100 LP tokens deposited, 1 LP token is taken as a fee, and 99 tokens are staked. **5. Earn** * This indicates the type of token distributed as farming rewards. For example, farming in the **WLOOP-BEE-LP pool** will earn you **BEE tokens**. **6. Total Pool LP** * Reflects the total amount of LP tokens staked in the pool by all participants. A higher number indicates strong community participation. *** #### **How is APR Calculated?** APR in LP farms is calculated based on several factors: **Block Rewards** * This refers to the total rewards distributed per block and the current token price (e.g., **BEE** price). * For example, if the pool generates **0.05 BEE per block**, the total daily rewards are calculated by multiplying the block rewards by the number of blocks per day. **Total Value Locked (TVL)** * TVL represents the total value of all staked LP tokens in the pool. It fluctuates based on the prices of the paired tokens (e.g., WLOOP and BEE). * A higher TVL means more participants, resulting in a lower APR for individual stakers since rewards are shared across more people. **Token Prices** * The price of the rewards token (BEE) and the LP tokens in the pool significantly impacts APR. An increase in token prices boosts the APR value. **Formula for APR** APR= (Daily Rewards in BEE / Total Staked Value in BEE)\*365\*100 Where: * **Daily Rewards in USD** is the total value of block rewards per day. * **Total Staked Value in USD** is the combined value of all LP tokens in the pool. *** #### **How to Participate in LP Farming** **Step 1: Add Liquidity** * Navigate to the **Liquidity Page** on BeeDex. * Pair tokens like WLOOP and BEE to create LP tokens (e.g., WLOOP-BEE-LP). * These LP tokens represent your contribution to the pool and your share of its trading fees. **Step 2: Deposit LP Tokens** * Go to the **Farm** section and select your desired pool. * Click **Add** to deposit your LP tokens into the farming pool. * Note that a **1% deposit fee** applies to all deposits. **Step 3: Harvest Your Rewards** * Rewards in the form of **BEE tokens** are distributed for every block. * You can harvest these rewards at any time by clicking **Harvest**. **Step 4: Withdraw LP Tokens** * If you want to exit farming, click **Unstake** to withdraw your staked LP tokens. * Withdrawn LP tokens can be returned to the liquidity pool or exchanged for the original assets (e.g., WLOOP and BEE). *** #### **Importance of** [**LP Farming**](https://beedex.io/farm) **for the Community** **1. Support for the BeeDex Ecosystem** * By providing liquidity, farmers ensure smooth trading operations on BeeDex. This enhances the trading experience for all users by minimizing slippage and increasing market depth. **2. Passive Income Opportunity** * LP farming allows you to earn passive income through: * **Farming Rewards:** Regular distribution of BEE tokens. * **Trading Fees:** Share of fees from trades executed in the liquidity pool. **3. Strengthens the Value of BEE** * By encouraging farming and liquidity provision, BeeDex enhances the utility and demand for BEE tokens, benefiting the community as a whole. **4. Encourages Decentralization** * LP farming contributes to the decentralization of BeeDex by distributing liquidity control among a large number of users, rather than concentrating it in the hands of a few entities. *** #### **Advantages of LP Farming on BeeDex** 1. **Earn Additional Rewards:** * Gain rewards in **BEE tokens** for staking LP tokens. * Stack your earnings by compounding rewards or reinvesting into the pools. 2. **Fee Sharing:** * Earn a portion of the trading fees generated from the liquidity pool, boosting your overall yield. 3. **Community Growth:** * Active participation in LP farming builds a stronger, more sustainable BeeDex community by encouraging liquidity and engagement. 4. **Flexibility:** * Withdraw or harvest rewards anytime, giving you complete control over your staked assets. 5. **Low-Risk Asset Pairing:** * Farming with stable and liquid asset pairs (e.g., WLOOP and BEE) minimizes risks associated with price fluctuations. 6. **Accessible for All:** * Easy-to-use interface and transparent farming details make BeeDex accessible for both beginners and advanced users. *** #### **Why LP Farming Matters** LP farming is the backbone of decentralized exchanges like BeeDex.
