You're being paid 28.9% to absorb price risk. Only ~28.9% of it is real fees — and they stop covering impermanent loss if UNI-USDT diverges more than the pair moves.
Real fee/staking yield: 28.9% · token emissions: 0% of the headline.
The real fees here (~28.9%) can beat holding if UNI-USDT stays calm, but a sharp divergence flips that. It's a genuine short-volatility bet, not free income.
