In this pool our community can stake their (RETRO) tokens to earn (GLD) reward tokens. The great thing about this pool and all of our future staking options is that you will not have to provide LP tokens RETRO-BNB 50/50 i.e. to partake in the reward distributions of the ecosystem and gain attractive rewards.

IL or Impairment Loss occurs when you provide liquidity in a paired ratio for a given token and he underlying price moves against you in % terms as time goes on. The effect of this is to reduce your real equity holdings provided as LP. This is part of the risk and strategy optimisation that yield farmers carry out. However, this is avoided by our staking contracts smart feature allowing for you to deposit only your Retro Tokens to gain rewards.
