{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**What happened to Impermanent Loss Protection?**</mark>\
With the advent of Savers Vaults eliminating the need for Impermanent Loss Protection (ILP), ILP for new Dual LP deposits was removed at block 9450000 (estimated Feb 6th 7:50pm EST). \
\
All ILP was disabled on THORChain on estimated Dec 6, 2023 (EST) following [**ADR005 Amendment 1**](https://gitlab.com/thorchain/thornode/-/blob/develop/docs/architecture/adr-005-deprecate-ilp.md?ref_type=heads) **:**\

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**What is the average rate of return that users can expect when providing liquidity?**</mark>

In the high risk pools, upwards of 10% and in the low risk, deep liquidity pools like BNB & BTC expect 3%-8%. However, check [THORSwap](https://app.thorswap.finance/) for current APYs.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Symmetrical LPs**</mark>\
For symmetrical LPs (ex: RUNE-ETH, RUNE-BTC, RUNE-LTC, RUNE-etc.) you will need at least 0.2 RUNE in your wallet to pay for the withdrawal fee.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Asymmetrical LPs**</mark>

For asymmetrical LPs you will need the “base chain” asset for the withdrawal fee. Example: USDC on ETH chain asymmetrical LP requires ETH in wallet in order to withdraw.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**I entered asymmetrically but received less than anticipated?**</mark> \
Correct. This is because when you pool asymmetrically your asset is converted into 50% RUNE and 50% ASSET (this is called re-balancing). When re-balancing you are subject to **slippage and fees.**

Slippage is due to the depth of liquidity pools, the deeper the pools (aka the more liquidity) the less slippage occurs. Slippage also depends on the size of the deposit. Bigger deposits occur more slippage. Until caps are unlimited then account for slippage in your asymmetrical deposits.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**What ways can I withdraw my symmetrical deposit?**</mark> \
You can withdraw your symmetrically deposit both **asymmetrically** and **symmetrically**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Will all ERC20 and BEP20 assets be supported and listed on THORChain by default?**</mark>

Any whitelisted assets can be listed on THORChain as long as there is enough depth in the liquidity pool(s). More information can be found [**here**](https://dev.thorchain.org/chain-clients/token-lists.html).
