# Overview

## What is Liquidity Farming?

Liquidity Farming, or [Liquidity Mining](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/your-crypto/what-is-liquidity-mining) is one of the first groundbreaking innovations to empower DeFi, enabling everyone (known as Liquidity Providers) to supply cryptocurrencies into liquidity pools and receive compensation based on their share.

Understanding Liquidity Farming and Providing Liquidity requires a grasp of decentralized exchanges ([DEXs](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-a-decentralized-exchange-dex)) and automated market makers ([AMMs](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-is-an-automated-market-maker-amm)), which facilitate the process. 

Liquidity Providers earn compensation through transaction fees and token rewards, which can reach unparalleled highs during periods of market volatility. On the downside, they may face risks such as [impermanent loss](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/impermanent-loss-explained), where the value of their deposited assets decreases compared to holding them outside the pool. Therefore, Liquidity Farming remains mostly overlooked due to its complexity and potential risks.
