When you deposit tokens into a pool, you receive a LP Token. This token may be eligible for use in our farming programs to earn additional yields, such as $MOE tokens, on top of the trading fees.
To withdraw, navigate to the desired pool and select 'Remove Liquidity'. Input the tokens you wish to withdraw or choose a preset percentage. The system will automatically calculate the necessary token ratio.
After selecting the withdrawal amount, you will need to approve the transaction in order to remove the tokens. Your wallet will prompt you for confirmation, and upon completion, your tokens will be returned to your wallet.
Providing Liquidity comes with a risk of Impermanent loss. This occurs when you provide liquidity to a pool containing two different assets in equal value.
When you deposit assets in a liquidity pool, their ratio is set at 50/50.
If the price of one asset changes compared to when you deposited, the ratio of assets in the pool changes to maintain a balance.
This can lead to 'impermanent loss' because the value of your deposited assets may become less than if you had just held onto them separately.
Impermanent Loss is not permanent and it can be reversed if more fees are earned on the position
Impermanent Loss is only permanent, when you withdraw from a Liquidity Book, you are essentially crystallizing those losses.
Price Volatility: The greater the price change of one asset relative to the other, the larger the potential impermanent loss. This is a significant risk in volatile markets.
Opportunity Cost: You might lose out on potential gains you could have had if you simply held the assets outside the pool.
Temporary Nature: The loss is 'impermanent' because it only realizes if you withdraw your assets from the pool. If prices return to their original levels when you entered the pool, the loss can be reversed.
Dependent on Pool Dynamics: The extent of impermanent loss depends on the specific dynamics and rules of the liquidity pool you're participating in.
