You're being paid 9.01% to absorb price risk. Only ~9.01% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if UNI-WETH diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 9.01% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~9.01%) can beat holding if UNI-WETH stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
