You're being paid 6.18% to absorb price risk. Only ~6.18% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if SHFL-USDC diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 6.18% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~6.18%) can beat holding if SHFL-USDC stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
