Impermanent Losses occur when holding assets in the liquidity pool on DEX (AMM).
For a better understanding, let's first consider what liquidity is 👇
Liquidity refers to the availability of sufficient assets that can be bought or sold in the market without a significant change in their price. In DeFi, liquidity is usually provided by the user who places his assets in liquidity ( LP ) in a certain pair.
Specifically, this happens when you add two assets to a trading pair and create liquidity. For example, suppose you add 1 WBTC and 10 ETH to the liquidity for the WBTC/ETH pair.
Impermanent loss arise from the difference in the price of assets in liquidity and their price on the foreign market. If the price of WBTC increases relative to ETH on the foreign market, it can lead to impermanent losses.
In that case, when you decide to withdraw your assets from liquidity, you will receive less WBTC and more ETH than you originally deposited. This is because the liquidity algorithm automatically adjusts the ratio of assets in the pair to maintain a price balance.
It is important to note that intermittent losses are temporary and disappear when market prices recover and return to their original state. However, if prices continue to move in one direction, impermanent loss can become significant.
To avoid intermittent losses, investors can use other strategies, such as long-term liquidity participation or the use of protective mechanisms such as insurance or hedging.
In addition, it is important to carefully examine market conditions and risks before contributing assets to liquidity at DeFi.

This article is a follow-up to BionicDAO: Rethinking Healthcare Through Decentralized Science. My goal is to explore this topic in more detail and give you food for thought on the direction of decentralized science and how it can change the field of health care. Let's first understand what insulin and DeSci are: What is insulin? Insulin, produced in the pancreas, is an important hormone that unlocks the ability of cells to obtain sugar (energy). Originally derived from animals, it is now...
Alex ObchakevichHow to solve the problem of connecting MetaMask to 1inch
Many newbies face a problem when connecting their wallet to 1inch, they can't find MetaMask. What's the problem? The problem is a conflict between two wallets Metamask and Phantom. If you use Chrome browser for example, then having two of these wallets, only one will be available when you connect. Sometimes it happens that you want to connect Phantom and you have Metamask connected, this causes confusion. How to solve this problem? I would suggest using not only Chrome, but for exam...
