The liquidity mining returns on some top DeFi platforms do look quite impressive—150% annualized plus triple platform points, a classic "yield + airdrop" dual incentive model. But you need to be aware of the pitfalls involved.



High returns often come with high risks. Non-stablecoin trading pairs will fluctuate with market conditions. During a bear market, both principal and token prices can drop together, and no matter how high the yield, it can't compensate for the losses.

If you want a more secure option, stablecoin pools are a good choice—an annualized rate of up to 4.22%, which may seem modest, but it's stable. Coupled with a 1.5x points bonus, depositing 100U can earn 150 points daily, effectively continuously earning platform airdrops with low risk. Calculations show this is a low-risk, stable-yield combination, suitable for conservative players.

That 150% figure is really tempting, but I've already been cut once. When the bear market comes, I lose my principal, and the gains are worthless.

150% annualized return sounds great, but when the bear market comes, the principal is directly wiped out. I've seen this trick too many times.

150% returns? As soon as the bear market hits, it gets exposed. I'm still more comfortable with stablecoin pools.

150% feels great to listen to, and losing feels even better

150% annualized sounds great, but when the bear market comes, the principal evaporates first. I'll just stick to the stablecoin pool.

The 150% figure is frightening; in a bear market, it drops by half directly.

150% annualized? During a bear market, they split the profits 70/30. I've seen too many tricks like this.
