How Do Trading Fees Mitigate the Impact of Impermanent Loss for Liquidity Providers?

Liquidity providers (LPs) earn a percentage fee on every trade executed through the pool. These accrued fees act as a yield on the LP's deposited assets.

If the total fees earned over the period of providing liquidity exceed the value lost due to impermanent loss (the difference between holding and pooling), the LP will still achieve a net profit. Essentially, the trading fees are the compensation LPs receive for taking on the risk of impermanent loss.
