The huge market cap and trading volume of DeFi show the growing trend in yield-farming. Yield-farming (or liquidity mining) is a type of investment in the DeFi ecosystem in which you, the farmer, can provide liquidity (or deposit fund) to a DeFi protocol and have it locked up for a reward subsequently. An automatic yield protocol would allow farmers to provide liquidity from any place of their choice in whatever token they choose.
