Impermanent Loss Isn’t the Risk Not Understanding It Is

Most people hear “impermanent loss” and immediately think danger.

But the real problem isn’t the concept.
It’s misunderstanding how it works.

On The Open Network, liquidity pools constantly rebalance as prices move. That means your position changes over time sometimes ending up worth less than simply holding the tokens.

That’s impermanent loss.

But here’s what gets missed:
It only becomes “real” when you withdraw.
And it can be offset by fees earned along the way.

On STONfi, this balance between fees and price movement is what determines whether a position performs well or not.

So the real takeaway is simple:
price movement creates the effect
fees can reduce or offset it
strategy determines the outcome

Because in DeFi, risk isn’t just about what exists.
It’s about what you understand and how you respond to it.
