What the hell is yield and why are we farming it!?! Yeah dunno fam, just what some anon cartoon character on Twitter told me to do.

It do be facts tho.

Yield farming has blown up in popularity as DeFi has grown to new heights in 2020/2021.

A new mechanism for token distribution? Yes.

More decentralization & community owned governance? Duh.

Less VCs and wacko presales? Ofc.

250%+ APYs that ‘print’ money? Sometimes.
