You're being paid 0.12% to absorb price risk. Only ~0.12% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if USDG-ONYC diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 0.12% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~0.12%) can beat holding if USDG-ONYC stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
