Risk Warning: Impermanent Loss

What is Impermanent Loss?

When you provide liquidity, the relative price of your deposited assets may change compared to when you deposited them. This can result in a loss compared to simply holding the assets. The loss is "impermanent" because it may reverse if prices return to their original ratio.

When Does It Occur?

Impermanent loss increases as the price ratio between the two assets in a pool diverges from the ratio at the time of deposit. Stablecoin pairs (e.g., USDT/USDC) have minimal impermanent loss risk, while volatile pairs carry higher risk.

Mitigating the Risk

Trading fees earned from the pool can offset impermanent loss. High-volume pools with significant fee revenue often generate net positive returns. Consider pools with correlated assets for lower risk.

How It Works

1. Choose a Pool

Browse available liquidity pools and select one based on the trading pair, APY, TVL, and your risk tolerance. Higher APY pools may carry more impermanent loss risk.

2. Deposit Both Assets

Provide equal value of both assets in the pair. For example, in a BTC/USDT pool, you deposit both BTC and USDT proportionally to the current pool ratio.

3. Receive LP Tokens

You receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share of the pool. These tokens accrue trading fees proportionally and can be redeemed for your assets at any time.

4. Earn Trading Fees

Every trade in the pool generates a fee that is distributed to liquidity providers based on their pool share. Fees are automatically reinvested to compound your returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are liquidity pools?

Liquidity pools are smart contract-based reserves of token pairs that facilitate decentralized trading. By depositing assets into a pool, you become a liquidity provider and earn a share of the trading fees generated when users swap tokens in the pool.

How much can I earn from providing liquidity?

Earnings depend on the pool's trading volume, your share of the total liquidity, and the fee tier. Higher volume pools generate more fees. Current APY rates are displayed on each pool card and are updated in real-time based on recent trading activity.

Can I withdraw my liquidity at any time?

Yes, you can remove your liquidity at any time by redeeming your LP tokens. There are no lock-up periods or withdrawal penalties. You will receive both assets in the pair proportional to the current pool ratio, which may differ from your initial deposit ratio.

What is the minimum amount to provide liquidity?

There is no strict minimum, but we recommend providing at least $100 equivalent to ensure meaningful returns after transaction fees. Each pool may have suggested minimum amounts displayed on the deposit interface.

Are the displayed APY rates guaranteed?

No, APY rates are estimates based on recent trading volume and fee revenue. Actual returns may be higher or lower depending on future trading activity, pool composition changes, and price movements of the underlying assets. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
