How to Add/Remove Liquidity?

"Liquidity" is central to how Photonswap's Exchange works. You can add liquidity for any token pair by staking both through the Liquidity page.

In return for adding liquidity, you'll receive trading fees for that pair, and receive LP Tokens you can stake in Farms to earn PHOTON-TOKEN rewards!

Adding liquidity

To provide liquidity, you’ll need to commit an amount of any token pair you like. Your lowest value (in USD) of the two tokens will be the limit to the liquidity you can provide.

You can easily trade for any tokens you need. Visit our How to Trade on Photonswap guide if you need to.
