Providing Liquidity
Providing liquidity is a way to support the PlasmaSwap exchange while earning rewards. When you add liquidity, you supply an equal value of two tokens to a pool, which enables others to trade between those tokens quickly and at low cost.
How to Provide Liquidity
Go to the Liquidity page on PlasmaSwap.
Select the token pair you want to provide liquidity for, for example, XPL and USDT0.
Enter the amount of each token you want to add. Note that you need to add equal value amounts of both tokens.
Approve the transaction(s) in your connected wallet.
Confirm the liquidity provision.
After the transaction is processed, you will receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share in the pool.
What Happens Next?
Your LP tokens show your ownership of the liquidity you provided.
Every time traders swap tokens from that pool, a small trading fee is collected.
A portion of those fees is distributed to liquidity providers proportional to their share of the pool.
You can withdraw your liquidity at any time by redeeming your LP tokens, along with any earned fees.
