You're being paid 8.94% to absorb price risk. Only ~8.50% of it is real fees (the other ~5% is decaying emissions) — and they stop covering impermanent loss if YMVOG-USDC diverges more than ±135%.
Real fee/staking yield: 8.50% · token emissions: 5% of the headline.
Break-even fact: a ±135% move in YMVOG-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~8.50%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
