At the upcoming meet-up we continue the topic of decentralized exchanges - DEXs. After diving into order-book based dYdX last time, we will have a closer look at DEXs with automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools (LPs).

The AMM DEXs , pioneered by Uniswap and further improved with concentrated liquidity (Uniswap v3) enabled one of the key DeFi activities - yield farming. According to Bancor, 80% of yield farmers do not generate positive returns due to the impermanent loss. Our experts from Kamino Finance and Orca will shed more light on those topics.
