Impermanent loss hedging involves strategies designed to reduce the risk of temporary value divergence experienced by liquidity providers in automated market makers. This loss occurs when the price ratio of assets in a liquidity pool changes after deposit. Hedging techniques typically employ external financial instruments, such as options or futures, to offset this potential depreciation. It seeks to protect capital from market volatility.
