Liquidity Provision

Users can provide liquidity to BeraSwap by committing tokens to a specific pool. Liquidity providers (LPs) earn a yield on their capital generated by the swap fees paid into the pool. In return for these fees and other potential benefits, LPs must deal with the fact that the collateral they deposit is not fixed. LP positions continuously rebalance between the two tokens in the pair as swaps occur in the pool.

This rebalancing can impose a cost on LPs in the form of impermanent loss (IL), which is the difference between the value of the rebalanced position and an equivalent static portfolio of the two assets. The larger the price ratio of the assets in the pool moves from when the user first deposited, the larger the IL cost experienced by the LP.

LPs on BeraSwap provide full-range liquidity, meaning that users' liquidity is always active at every possible price point in the pool.

Adding Liquidity

Adding Liquidity is the process of providing the two constituent tokens of a liquidity pool to either 1) create a new LP position, or 2) commit additional capital to a pre-existing LP position.

When adding liquidity to an LP position, users have the following parameters to choose from:

• The token pair to provide liquidity for
• Deposit quantity, which can be fixed in terms of either side of the pair
• Maximum slippage (only applies when providing unbalanced amounts that require rebalancing) and transaction deadline

Managing LP Positions

Users can view their existing LP positions through BeraSwap on BeraSwap.

To remove liquidity from a specific position, users can withdraw their LP tokens. This removes the liquidity from the pool and returns the underlying collateral (based on the current token prices) to the user.
