< summary > Is there any impermanent loss (IL) in my staking?< / summary >
2023-09-30 00:24:40 +02:00
2023-11-06 12:07:19 +01:00
No. IL is typically associated with providing liquidity to decentralized exchange or pools. There are no pools involved in any of the DF streams [1].

< summary > Can the DF rewards change during a given week?< / summary >
No. At the beginning of a new DF round, rules are laid out, either implicitly if no change from the previous round, or explicitly in a blog post if there are new rules.

Caveat: it’ s "no" at least in theory! Sometimes there may be tweaks if there is community consensus or a bug.
