How to become a liquidity provider on Uniswap

Uniswap is a decentralized finance exchange (DEX) that allows anyone to participate in the financial transactions of Ethereum-based tokens without a central authority or intermediary.

The aim is to provide users with secure and immutable access to financial services without permission and without fear of discrimination or counterparty risk.

Because it is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses smart contracts, Uniswap replaces traditional centralized market instruments such as exchange quotes and limit order books with automated and permissionless liquidity pools executed solely by algorithms.

A liquidity pool is a crowdsourced pool of cryptocurrencies or tokens locked in a smart contract designed to facilitate trading between assets on a decentralized exchange (DEX). Read more about UniSwap here.

Here is a tutorial on how to become a liquidity provider at UniSwap:

Go to UniSwap's official website and click Start app and you will go to app.uniswap.org:

First, you need to connect your wallet to UniSwap. In this tutorial we will use MetaMask as an example. Click on Connect wallet:

A list of wallets should appear and you can select your desired wallet. First, we will show you how to connect MetaMask, which is on the wallet list, to UniSwap. So choose MetaMask:

Select your desired account and click Next:

Choose Connect:

Great! Now your MetaMask is connected to UniSwap and you should be able to see your balance and wallet address at the top of the page.

To become a liquidity provider you must click Pool:

Choose + New position:

Here you should choose a pair, in this tutorial we will use ETH, USDT. Then select a pool type based on your preferred liquidity provider's fee. Since ETH and USDT are a common pool, we choose the 0.3% fee:

• 0.05% fee level: Best for stable couples

The 0.05% fee tier is best suited for token pairs that trade at a fairly fixed or highly correlated price, such as stablecoin-stablecoin-token pairs (example: USDT-USDC). Liquidity providers assume minimal price risk in these pools and traders expect to pay minimal fees.

• 0.3% fee level: Best for most couples

The 0.3% fee tier is ideally used for less correlated token pairs such as the ETH-DAI token pair that are subject to significant price movements both up and down. This higher fee is more likely to compensate liquidity providers for the greater price risk they take compared to stablecoin liquidity providers.

• 1.0% fee level: Best for exotic couples

The 1.00% fee tier is designed for exotic assets where LPs take extreme price risk. Relevant assets are those that are subject to particularly monotonous price movements.

Now you should type a Price range. You should consider the extent to which you expect prices to move over the life of your position, and you should be aware that if the price is out of your range, you will not earn any trading fees until it comes back in the range you selected returns.

Enter the value in one of the fields Deposit amounts fields and another field will be filled in automatically. Then click Approve USDT:

Confirm it on MetaMask:

click on preview and check the details:

After checking the details, click Add and confirm the transaction on MetaMask:

Great! Your assets now provide liquidity to UniSwap traders, you earn fees and receive the LP tokens in your wallet.
