What Is ‘Impermanent Loss’ and Is It Related to the Insurance Fund?
Impermanent loss (IL) is the temporary loss of funds experienced by a liquidity provider in an Automated Market Maker (AMM) pool when the price of their deposited assets changes compared to simply holding them. IL is generally not related to the futures exchange insurance fund, as the fund is specific to covering deficits from leveraged trading liquidations, not AMM pool price divergence.
