1. Understanding Liquidity Mining
Liquidity mining in the DeFi space refers to the process of depositing or borrowing specified token assets in DeFi products with mining mechanisms to provide liquidity for their pools and earn rewards—often the project's native tokens.
On the MOBOX platform:
- Stake MBOX-BNB pairs (by depositing both MBOX and BNB into the pool).
- Participants enhance pool liquidity and receive MBOX airdrops as rewards.
2. LP Tokens Explained
What Are LP Tokens?
LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens act as proof of your contribution to a liquidity pool. On MOBOX, all LPs are sourced from PancakeSwap; PancakeSwap LPs can be directly staked on MOBOX.
How to Obtain LP Tokens:
- Deposit MBOX and BNB into PancakeSwap’s MBOX-BNB pool.
- Receive LP tokens proportional to your contribution.
💡 Example: If 1 BNB = 100 BUSD and 1 MBOX = 1 BUSD, providing 1 BNB + 100 MBOX generates 1 MBOX-BNB LP token.
3. Profit Sources in Liquidity Mining
Key Revenue Streams:
- CAKE Rewards: Staked LP tokens earn CAKE through MOBOX’s yield aggregator, which auto-compounds rewards into more LP tokens.
- Trading Fees: A portion of fees from MBOX-BNB pool trades distributes to liquidity providers.
🔹 Auto-Compounding: CAKE rewards are sold and reinvested daily, boosting your LP holdings without manual claims.
4. Step-by-Step Participation
(1) Token Swap
Ensure your wallet holds sufficient BNB and MBOX. Use MOBOX’s swap service if needed.
(2) Add Liquidity
- Navigate to Farm > Liquidity.
- Input amounts and authorize to receive LP tokens.
(3) Stake LP Tokens
- Go to Farm > Stake, deposit LP tokens, and confirm.
(4) Track APY
Monitor your Annual Percentage Yield (APY) and strategies to accelerate earnings.
(5) Withdrawals
- Unstake LP tokens.
- Remove liquidity to reclaim underlying tokens.
5. Claiming Rewards
Click "Claim Pending" on the Farm dashboard to collect mining rewards.
6. Boosting Earnings
Freeze MBOX to get veMBOX, tripling your LP staking rewards via 3x weight multipliers.
7. Important Notes
⚠️ Fees: Unstaking LP tokens incurs time-based fees.
⚠️ Impermanent Loss: Possible when providing liquidity.
⚠️ Freezing ≠ Staking: Frozen MBOX yields veMBOX (for reward boosts) but no direct mining rewards.
