How to Provide BakerySwap Liquidity & Utilizing Beefy.Finance Yield Optimizers

This tutorial is a great way to begin yield farming on the Binance Smart Chain in a very effective way. There are numerous liquidity pairs which users can choose from offering high yields.

Introduction to BakerySwap and Beefy Finance

Bakeryswap is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. It's a decentralized exchange (DEX) which leverages Automated Marker Making (AMM) models. This Decentralized Finance project also has launched one of the first NFT marketplaces on the BSC.

Liquidity and Yield Optimizers

Liquidity is a measure of ease in which an asset is converted to another asset without affecting the price. Due to the recent surge of AMM’s, individual crypto users can easily supply their crypto assets to these protocols, providing liquidity in return for yield bearing incentives.

For those who are unfamiliar with vaults, I will insert an excerpt that was used to describe vaults in our Beefy Finance Project Review, which I believe elegantly describes the function of vaults:

Vaults serve as investment instruments, implementing strategies through smart contracts. These vaults automate the best yield farming opportunities. Vaults can perform the following actions: Use assets as liquidity, provide assets as collateral for others, manage collateral to reduce odds of liquidation, and use assets to generate a yield and compound profits. With the following actions, vaults allow users to automate their DeFi farming experience completely. The community and the Fry.World teams create strategies, allowing the process to be effectively optimized.
