Provide Liquidity

Last updated 3 months ago

The Synthetix Liquidity App offer users a way to passively earn fees and rewards by providing the liquidity to power trading products in the Synthetix ecosystem.

How does Providing Liquidity work?

Providing liquidity allows users to collectively function similar to an aggregated "market maker", filling the AMM with liquidity to provide low-slippage trade execution across all supported markets.

Trading fees, negative trader performance, and trader liquidations result in higher rewards for LPs. Conversely, positive trader performance results in lower rewards for LPs.

Get Started

  1. Connect your wallet and create an account.

  2. Select the asset you wish to deposit.

  3. Under “Manage Collateral” choose “Deposit and Lock”, select the amount to deposit, click “Deposit and Lock Collateral” and sign the approval and transfer transactions.

Any depositing, locking, claiming rewards, or unlocking of liquidity triggers a 24 hour waiting period before withdrawing.

from Synthetix products are directed to Liquidity Providers (LPs) in addition to rewards from various incentive programs. LPs earn a share of these fees and rewards distributed pro-rata according to their share of the total liquidity provided.

In extreme circumstances, if the amount of winning trades exceeds the fees collected from losing trades, liquidations, and other fees, LP performance can be negative and accrue debt. See for more on the risks of LP'ing.
