What is yield farming in DeFi and how does it work?

Yield farming is a decentralized finance (DeFi) strategy where users provide liquidity to protocols in exchange for rewards. Typically, users deposit cryptocurrencies into liquidity pools on platforms like Uniswap, Aave, or Compound. In return, they earn interest, transaction fees, or governance tokens. The concept is similar to earning interest in traditional finance but often with higher returns. However, yield farming carries risks such as impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, and volatile token prices. While it can be highly profitable, it is not suitable for beginners without understanding DeFi mechanics. Successful yield farming requires research and careful risk management.
