Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Yield farming incentivizes liquidity providers by offering passive income, similar to bank deposits but without centralized third parties. Historically, this mechanism drove the total value locked in DeFi to grow from around $1 billion in June 2020 to over $15 billion by October 2020.
