Here is the table extracted from the image:

| **Revenue Source**           | **How It Works**                                                                                 | **Contribution to Yield**              |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- |
| Lending Interest (Primary)   | Borrowers pay interest on their loans. 10% of all interest flows to the yield pool.              | Primary - grows with protocol TVL      |
| Liquidation Fees (Secondary) | When an undercollateralized position is liquidated, 5% of the collateral value goes to the pool. | Secondary - grows with market activity |
| DEX LP Fees                  | LiquidX's liquidity positions on EON DEX generate trading fees.                                  | Supplementary                          |
| Treasury Strategies          | DAO-approved yield strategies using treasury assets.                                             | Long-term growth                       |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://liquidx-3.gitbook.io/liquidx-whitepaper/12.-yield-farming/12.2-where-does-the-yield-come-from-sustainability-explained.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
