You're being paid 2.28% to absorb price risk. Only ~2.28% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if SHFL-USDC diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 2.28% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~2.28%) can beat holding if SHFL-USDC stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
