Yield Farm FAQ's

What Are LP Tokens

LP, or liquidity provider tokens, are given to users of the Helix AMM, after they supply the exchange with liquidity, and represent their share in a particular liquidity pool. LP tokens can be deposited into the farms to earn further yield, but should not be mishandled, as they are required to redeem the deposited assets.

Where Do Farm Rewards Come From?

Rewards for the yield farms are provided from the HELIX emissions, with 50% of the total supply being allocated to farming, and staking rewards. Farm total APR is determined by both the LP REWARDS APR + FARM MINTED EMISSIONS = FARM TOTAL APR

More information on the HELIX tokenomics can be found here.

What Are The Risks Of Yield Farming

Helix and its contracts have been fully audited before launch, ensuring that the main risk of yield farming remains that of impermanent loss (IL), when providing liquidity.

More information on Impermanent loss can be found on the Liquidity Pool FAQ's and it is recommended as a subject to learn for any user of decentralized finance.

Can I Unstake From A Farm At Any Time?

There is no unstaking period for the Helix farms, to do so, simply select the farm you have deposited LP tokens in and choose the amount to withdraw. To redeem the initial funds for your LP tokens, you will need to return to the liquidity screen and follow the process (as laid out in How to Add/Remove liquidity)

What Rewards Can I Earn In The Yield Farms

When staking LP tokens in the Yield farms, liquidity providers are earning multiple rewards: a) LP rewards from the initial liquidity provision in the trading pool. b) Additional HELIX rewards from the chosen, corresponding farm.
