What is Yield Farming in DeFi?

Yield farming is a decentralised finance (DeFi) strategy that allows crypto holders to earn passive income by providing liquidity to DeFi protocols. In return, investors receive rewards such as interest, transaction fees, or additional tokens. While yield farming offers high potential returns, it also carries risks like smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility, and impermanent loss.
