When you add your token to a Liquidity Pool you will receive Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens and share in the fees.
As an example, if you deposited SCADS and BUSD into a Liquidity Pool, you'd receive SCADS-BUSD LP tokens.
The number of LP tokens you receive represents your portion of the SCADS-BUSD Liquidity Pool.
You can also redeem your funds at any time by removing your liquidity.
Providing liquidity gives you a reward in the form of trading fees when people use your liquidity pool.
Whenever someone trades on Scads, the trader pays a 0.25% fee, of which 0.17% is added to the Liquidity Pool of the swap pair they traded on.
For example:
There are 10 LP tokens representing 10 SCADS and 10 BUSD tokens.
1 LP token = 1 SCADS + 1 BUSD
Someone trades 10 SCADS for 10 BUSD.
Someone else trades 10 BUSD for 10 SCADS .
The SCADS/BUSD liquidity pool now has 10.017 SCADS and 10.017 BUSD.
Each LP token is now worth 1.00017 SCADS + 1.00017 BUSD.
To make being a liquidity provider even more worth your while, you can also put your LP tokens to work whipping up some fresh yield on the CAKE Farms, while still earning your 0.17% trading fee reward.
Providing liquidity is not without risk, as you may be exposed to impermanent loss.
To prevent reward lack and provide enough SCADS in eco-system, it limits SCADS locked in SCADS-BUSD LP is not over than 50% of Current Supply.
It works to keep the flexible run for eco-system and provide high safety for mechanism.
