Bancor V3 has upgraded the impermanent loss protection on the basis of V2. V2’s impermanent loss protection requires the single assets to be staked for 100 days to obtain 100% impermanent loss protection, while V3 provides the impermanent loss protection time to 7 days, meanwhile the single-sided farms need to pay 0.25% withdrawal fee, which may limit malicious arbitrage to a certain extent. But how much impermanent loss protection can the 0.25% withdrawal fee cover? Still based on the formula we derived earlier:

It can be obtained that Pn/P0=1.1080 or 0.9070, that is, the price fluctuation range is between -9.3% and 10.8%, and the 0.25% withdrawal fee can completely cover the loss caused by impermanent loss protection. It is normal to fluctuate 10% within a week due to the high volatility of cryptocurrencies. Therefore, in most cases, the 0.25% withdrawal fee cannot completely cover the loss of impermanent loss protection, but only reduces the loss to a certain extent. Of course, for liquidity providers, more than 0.25% profit within a week means that the annualization exceeds 13% to achieve capital preservation, which also inhibits the short-term withdrawal demand of liquidity providers to a certain extent. Therefore, if the single-side pair is highly volatile, the impermanent loss of BNT is more likely to cause losses, and the more liquidity providers have short-term adding and removing liquidity, leading to the higher the cost of BNT impermanent loss.
