What exactly has DeFi changed? In simple terms, it has reshaped the entire logic of asset trading, fund lending, and yield generation.

If you're new to Web3, the concept of Liquidity Pools is worth a deep dive. They are the cornerstone of DeFi operations—users provide funds to liquidity pools, which not only makes trading possible but also allows them to earn trading fee income.

Want to understand this mechanism from scratch? How liquidity pools work, how investors participate, and where the risks lie—all these questions can be answered by understanding the basics of DeFi. Let's take a look.

Liquidity pools sound good, but the ones who truly make money are always those who understand the timing How should I put it, DeFi changing logic sounds nice, but the risks are very real For beginners, don't rush to get started with this stuff. First, see how others are losing money Fundamentally, the concept of capital is about gambling. Understand the risks before entering Reshaping lending logic? Wake up, in the end, it's still big players earning from small investors' money When liquidity mining was hot, everyone was making money. Now, those who still persist are true warriors Honestly, I still don't quite understand what has changed; I feel it's even more complicated

Liquidity pools sound good, but how many actually make money? It seems most people are still wiped out by slippage and impermanent loss.

Liquidity pools sound fancy, but in reality, they're just renamed gambling pools. Better to be cautious.

Liquidity pools sound simple, but in reality, they are full of pitfalls. All the money I lost was on this thing. --- It's the same story again... Those who truly make money never write articles about these things. --- Easy to say, but how about in practice? Slippage, impermanent loss, contract risks—one careless move and you're done. --- What has DeFi changed? It’s just made my money smaller, haha. --- Liquidity pools look great, but rug pulls are still unavoidable. --- Damn, this is what I’ve never understood properly. Need to study it carefully. --- The returns sound tempting, but the risks are just glossed over. --- DeFi is truly a double-edged sword. Some people take off, while others get wiped out. --- Newbies, don’t believe these. First, take care of yourself.
