  • Impermanent Loss is a difficult concept for many people to understand, so I created an interactive tool to play around with. Hopefully it helps some people!

    Don't fall for anyone impersonating me in the comments below. Also don't fall for a chain of people talking about their 'mentor'.
    Both are scams and they're trying to take your money.

    Man. I rarely write any compliment but I think your channel is very very very good. You explain most of the essentials without wasting too much time so it's really good to jumpstart on everything crypto. Your impermanent loss calculator is very helpful too. Please continue the good work. If I happen to get rich from crypto, I will definitely donate to your channel :)

    This is an excellent explanation which I had to watch several times to fully grasp. One thing occurs to me is that in the Advanced calculator it would be more accurate for "Token A New Value" to read "Token A new POOL value", and the same for Token B, as I think it is confusing the way it is. The same seems to apply further up for "Token A value". For further clarity, "Price" should read "Price per token", "Token A Price Change should read "Token A % Price Change".

  • @kevingasik4704
    @kevingasik4704 2 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Looks great however this doesn't take into account the fees you generate. So although you show the loss you don't show the LP tokens you would generate by providing liquidity. I love the visualization here but I feel like you need to add an APY addition to this. Thoughts? I can go more in detail if needed.

    • @kevingasik4704
      @kevingasik4704 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Subnote: This is a great visualization tool on why certain coins have different APY rates for when providing liquidity.

    • @withoutatrace52
      @withoutatrace52 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Second this. Almost perfect. Just needs to include an APY calculation to help estimate if your rewards cancel out or outweigh the IL%.

    • @aaronsmith2929
      @aaronsmith2929 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, I’m finding you don’t start to benefit from non stable LP’s unless you are in it for the long haul... whereas the APY accrued over a year+ would greatly improve your chances to negate any impermanent loss.

Question : What might be the result of withdrawing ? -- the debate is opened.

  • @PeterBlanchard
    @PeterBlanchard 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a great video, and also a great tool on your site, thank you! I have one question about impermanent loss . . . around 5:40 you state that if token values revert to where they were when you created LP tokens, you will have zero impermanent loss. My question is, what happens if I create LP tokens over time at different prices? For example, I create 100 LP tokens when prices are Token A = $1 and Token B = $100. Then later I create 100 more LP tokens when Token A = $1 and Token B = $200. Can I then achieve zero Impermanent Loss if I cash out when Token B = $150? Or do each of the LP tokens I created have their own "break-even," so I would need to cash out specific LP tokens when prices were close to when I created those specific LP tokens?
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

  • @FXMariner
    @FXMariner 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    One question..... Due to the price deviation there can be a loss. That's ok. But to compensate that some interest is paid to liquity provider. So obviously that thing also to be considered right?

  • @harftimer4789

    What apr/time is needed to offset x% IL? Seeing as most LPs incentives people to provide liquidity by offering a return on the amount they provide.

    • @theuniversalbox
      @theuniversalbox 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's no universal answer to this tbh... In my opinion, the best way to track your IL is to keep a good old spreadsheet and log your LP values (base and interest) once a day

    Using simplest, when entering the ending price for either token it changes the value of the starting price.

    • @WhiteboardCrypto
      @WhiteboardCrypto  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's how its supposed to work, it autofills the value that the liquidity pool would require it to be to satisfy the AMM equation, if that makes sense

    This is basically impermanent lose for v2 liquidity pools. There everything has to be 50% to 50%. With v3-farms we have different percentages and ranges to deal with, right? Is there also a tool you recommend or are you planing on building one on your own? Love and Light

  • @filipinoboy8
    @filipinoboy8 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video! I guess the only scenario in which you are profitable from providing liquidity would be if both coins go down? I don’t see how providing liquidity in a bull market makes sense - it seems better to get price appreciation naturally

    • @WhiteboardCrypto
      @WhiteboardCrypto  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You earn fees from trades, sometimes that cancels out or beats the impermanent loss

    So when ethereum price doubled, but you had -5% Impermanent Loss... that is a loss on the gain? not a loss on investment? So you would be up 95% right? Im slowly getting this - but i've been trying to understand liquidity pools for days and my brain is fried.
