Liquidity mining rewards Meaning

The specific incentives-usually in the form of a protocol's native governance token-given to users who provide assets to a liquidity pool. These rewards are paid out in addition to the standard trading fees, acting as a "bonus" to encourage users to take on the risk of impermanent loss and provide early-stage capital.

These rewards are typically distributed "per block" and are proportional to the user’s share of the total pool. In the early days of a project, rewards are often very high to attract "mercenary capital," but they usually "taper off" over time as the protocol matures.

This distribution is a core part of a project's Tokenomics. While highly effective for bootstrapping a network, these rewards create "sell pressure" as providers often sell their earned tokens to lock in profits.

Projects must find a balance between rewarding providers enough to stay and preventing the token price from crashing due to the constant "mining and dumping" of rewards.
