Is the LINK-WETH yield on uniswap-v2 real?

You're being paid 15.3% to absorb price risk. Only ~15.3% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if LINK-WETH diverges more than ±227%.

REAL 100%

Real fee/staking yield: 15.3% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.

👜 Would you be better off just holding?

Break-even fact: a ±227% move in LINK-WETH erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~15.3%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
