Define “Liquidity Mining” in DeFi.

Liquidity Mining is the process of distributing a protocol's native governance token to users who provide liquidity to its platform (e.g. depositing assets into an AMM pool). It is a form of yield farming where users earn both trading fees and newly minted tokens as a reward for bootstrapping the protocol's liquidity and utility.
