▲ SHORT-VOL CARRY Grade C

Is the LINK-WETH yield on uniswap-v3 real?

You're being paid 4.07% to absorb price risk. Only ~4.07% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if LINK-WETH diverges more than the pair moves.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 4.07% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

The real fees here (~4.07%) can beat holding if LINK-WETH stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
