What is impermanent loss example?

Impermanent loss (IL) is the risk that liquidity providers take in exchange for fees they earn in liquidity pools . If IL exceeds fees earned by a user when they withdraw, it means the user has suffered negative returns compared with simply holding their tokens outside the pool.

Once you have the value of impermanent loss for the given change k, you can multiply that percentage by the initial value to get the actual dollar amount . For example, if my impermanent loss is 0.6% and the initial price of my asset is US$1000, then the actual liquidity pool impermanent loss is US$1000 * 0.6% = US$6.31 Oca 2022
