Minswap’s double farm system allows other protocols to reward their liquidity providers with Cardano native tokens. This implies that liquidity providers who are yield farming on the NMKR/ADA pair on Minswap earn both MIN and NMKR. MIN is Minswap’s utility and governance token, allowing users to participate in DeFi products on the platform.

On Minswap, the Double Farm Mechanism works in the same way as normal farms. The accumulated rewards in both tokens are sent and the new amount of LP tokens starts collecting rewards whenever a user stakes new liquidity pool tokens or withdraws a portion of the liquidity pool (LP) tokens staked. Instead of merely getting MIN rewards, liquidity providers get to earn an extra token.

Minswap, the first multi-pool DEX on Cardano, announced its debut on the Cardano mainnet in March, allowing its users to deposit liquidity in exchange for rewards and to swap tokens in a decentralized way.
