Provide Liquidity

PreviousGetting StartedNextFees

Last updated 1 day 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 LP work?

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

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.

Keeper fees, open interest fees, losing trades, and liquidations result in higher rewards for LPs.

Conversely, winning trades result in lower rewards for LPs.

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 Security & Risks for more on the risks of LP'ing.
