What is yield farming?

Table of Contents

Simply put, yield farming is nothing more than putting cryptocurrency assets into use by earning a return on the capital invested in a DeFi market. There are numerous money markets such as Compound, Curve, and Aave. They provide the most straightforward road to earning a yield. For those looking to earn more liquidity pools such as those available on Uniswap can provide more flexibility as they provide better yields but come with increased risk.
Generally speaking yielding allows you to put your idle assets to work, and make passive income, without having to sell.
