How to Farm Liquidity Pools

If you haven’t read our explanation of Yield Farming yet, we’d highly recommend you read that before starting the farming process. It will help you better understand what you are doing in this tutorial. The instructions below explain how to begin Farming CAKE-BNB LP in Beefy. There are many other coins you can farm in other yield optimizers like https://pancakebunny.finance, https://bvaults.fi, https://autofarm.network, https://swamp.finance/app, etc. The steps for farming are nearly identical across all of the yield optimizers with slight differences.

This is not financial advice. It is meant to be an explanation for how you can begin earning yields on your crypto assets but does not replace your own research and understanding of risk.
