You're being paid 11.7% to absorb price risk. Only ~11.7% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if LINK-USDC diverges more than ±177%.
Real fee/staking yield: 11.7% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
Break-even fact: a ±177% move in LINK-USDC erases a full year of the fees you actually keep (~11.7%). Whether that move happens is up to the market — but any emissions inflating the headline will fade regardless.
