How Does The Impermanent Loss Protection Work?
Update: Impermanent Loss Protection (ILP) has been depreciated with the introduction of Saver Vaults. Only positions held before the depreciation of IPL will be protected. Any new LP position will not have ILP, also if an old position gets added new funds to the membership the ILP will be lost too.
