Yield Farming is one of the popular ways to make money from a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The concept of Yield Farming entails that cryptocurrency holders with enough funds to spare can use those funds to add or provide liquidity to a decentralized farming protocol. This is impressive because most cryptocurrency trading platforms continue to battle scalability issues, which are attributed to the limited liquidities on the platform.

The introduction of Yield Farming into the mix ensures that you can now trade on a wide range of crypto assets.
ApeSwap is one of the Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and Automated Market Makers (AMMs) where you can provide liquidity and earn passive income.
In this article, I will explain how you can start providing liquidity on the pool, as well as some of the benefits you will derive from doing so.

Before You Start Farming

Before farming for new crypto assets or providing liquidity on the ApeSwap liquidity pool; I will like you to understand some things.

Firstly, the ApeSwap liquidity pool is a medium for you to earn new crypto tokens, as well as earn passive income.

Secondly, it isn’t one of the easiest jobs in the world, because you will have to be patient and be consistent so you can earn on the platform.

Thirdly, and most important – you are required to have specific crypto tokens before you can start providing liquidity and earning passive income on ApeSwap. The 2 crypto tokens that are supported for Yield Farming are BANANA (the native crypto token for ApeSwap, and the Binance Coin, BNB).
