You're being paid 9.18% to absorb price risk. Only ~7.59% of it is real fees (the other ~17% is decaying emissions) — and they stop covering impermanent loss if EURC-USDC diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 7.59% · token emissions: 17% of the headline.
The real fees here (~7.59%) can beat holding if EURC-USDC stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
