Answer: Staking your pool LP tokens is the most efficient way to earn CRV rewards, as it allows you to earn rewards without having to pay any trading fees. However, if you simply deposit your LP tokens into the pool, you will still be able to earn trading fees, as well as potentially lending fees and staking fees (depending on the pool). These fees are paid out directly to the LP token, which increases in value with each trade. When you decide to withdraw your LP tokens, you will be able to withdraw more of the underlying assets than you initially deposited. This is because the trading fees and other fees earned from the pool have increased the value of the LP token.
