Providing Liquidity

Getting Started (All Pool Types)

Go to the Liquidity Page:

Click CONNECT (top right) to connect your wallet.

Browse the Pool List

You can leave the filters on ALL or filter by Basic, Concentrated, Stable, or Volatile.

Alternatively you can enter the name or pool address in the search field:

Click DEPOSIT on the pool you want to enter

Example 1: vAMM Pool (Basic Volatile)

Example: vAMM-NOVA/USDC

What it is: A classic UniV2-style AMM. Your liquidity is spread evenly across the entire price range (0 to ∞). Simple, passive, no active management needed.

How to deposit:

• The interface shows pool info (pair, fee tier, APR, current liquidity)

• Enter an amount for either token — the other auto-calculates based on the current pool ratio

• Use the 25% / 50% / 75% / Max buttons for quick allocation

• Approve the token(s) if first time

• Confirm the deposit transaction

• After depositing, stake your LP position to earn NOVA emissions

Key characteristics:

• No price range to set — fully passive

• Lower capital efficiency (liquidity spread thin)

• Lower impermanent loss risk vs. concentrated pools

• Best for: volatile pairs where you want set-and-forget exposure

Example 2: CL1 Pool (Concentrated Stable)

In this example we are depositing into CL-USDC/USDT

What it is: A Concentrated Liquidity AMM with tick spacing of 1, the tightest possible. Designed for stablecoin pairs that trade near 1:1. Maximum capital efficiency in a narrow band.

• The interface shows the Current Price (e.g., 1.0 USDC ≈ 0.95645 USDT)

• Choose a range preset: Narrow, Common, Wide, or Full

→ Narrow = tightest range, highest APR, highest risk of going out of range

→ Common = balanced (recommended for most users)

→ Wide = safer range, lower APR

→ Full = entire price range (behaves like a basic AMM)

• The preset auto-fills LOW and HIGH price boundaries

• You can manually adjust with +/- buttons or type custom values. Alternatively you can also drag the sliders in the liquidity distribution chart.

• Enter deposit amounts for both tokens

• Approve tokens → Confirm deposit → Stake

• On the next Staking page provide access to deposits:

Once deposit access is granted, a STAKE button appears to stake your LP position:

After the stake transaction is executed, you can return to the Portfolio page where it should show your staked LP position:

Key characteristics:

• Tick spacing of 1 = extremely granular price ranges

• Ideal for stable pairs (USDC/USDT, USDe/USDC)

• Very high capital efficiency within range

• Requires monitoring and rebalancing, if price moves outside your range, you stop earning fees

• Best for: stablecoin pairs that rarely deviate from peg

Example 3: CL200 Pool (Concentrated Volatile)

Example: CL200-XAUT/USDC, CL200-WBTC/USDT

What it is: A Concentrated Liquidity AMM with tick spacing of 200 — wider steps between price ticks. Designed for more volatile assets.

How to deposit:

• Same interface as CL1, but default ranges are much wider

• Shows Current Price (e.g., 1.0 XAUT ≈ 4,821 USDC)

• Choose a range preset: Narrow / Common / Wide / Full

→ Common for CL200 covers a much wider band than CL1 (e.g., $4,534 – $5,113 for XAUT)

• Adjust LOW and HIGH boundaries as needed

• Enter deposit amounts → Approve → Confirm → Stake

Key characteristics:

• Tick spacing of 200 = larger price steps, suitable for volatile assets

• Wider default ranges reduce risk of going out of range

• Still more capital-efficient than vAMM

• Requires periodic rebalancing if price trends strongly

• Best for: volatile pairs (BTC/USDT, XAUT/USDC) where you want concentrated efficiency without constant management
