How do low-popular coins on the DEX protect themselves from volatility due to high market volatility in general and $BTC in particular?
Volumes on pairs with low-popular coins may not be high enough to maintain good APRs for liquidity providers, so liquidity becomes scarce. For example, let's take the $TON blockchain, and the main DEX on it - STON.fi.
Farming is introduced into the liquidity pools. This system rewards liquidity providers additionally, with no direct correlation to the pool volume. For a certain period of time, for putting LP-tokens into smart-contract, additional rewards are given in different tokens, e.g. $STON or $TON . Thanks to this, higher APRs are achieved, and therefore liquidity also increases. Win-Win)
For example, on the same STON.fi you can highlight some pools:
MAJOR/TON, APR - 134%
JETTON/USDT, APR - 87%
HPO/TON, APR - 283%
To participate: connect #TON wallet to the site. on the Pools tab select the pool you like, on the Swaps tab swap both tokens of pool in equivalent, return to the pool tab and set the liquidity. Once you have LP-tokens, you need to go back to the pool page and at the bottom put them in farming.
