Single-sided liquidity pools change the game for liquidity mining rewards programs, since they introduce novel re-staking functionality.
Broke: Dual-sided pools where an LP earns mining rewards, but can re-stake them to the protocol only by selling some of the tokens or pairing them with additional capital.
Bespoke: Single-sided pools where an LP earns mining rewards, which they can then re-stake in the pool and *compound gains* without selling any rewards or adding new tokens.

This creates a positive liquidity loop that’s only currently possible in @Bancor.
And $BNT liquidity mining rewards are coming any day now :)
3/ Yet most AMM front-ends list APY without taking impermanent loss into account.
This is why the returns you actually earn as an LP when you withdraw liquidity are often less than the projected APYs originally advertised in AMM interfaces.
