Why provide liquidity?
Every swap on RivrDEX incurs a 0.35% fee, which is distributed to LPs in proportion to their share of the pool. The more trading volume a pool sees, the more fees its LPs earn.Fee earnings accumulate automatically inside the pool. You receive them when you withdraw your liquidity — not as a separate claim.
LP tokens
When you deposit into a pool, RivrDEX mints LP tokens and sends them to your wallet. LP tokens represent your share of that pool.- Your share of the pool grows as fees accumulate.
- To withdraw your liquidity and claim your fees, you must redeem (burn) your LP tokens.
- LP tokens are transferable — whoever holds them can redeem the underlying assets.
Adding liquidity
Go to Pools
Open stg-app.rivrdex.io and navigate to Pools.
Select a pool
Find the token pair you want to provide liquidity for and click Add Liquidity. If the pair doesn’t exist yet, see Creating a new pair.
Enter deposit amounts
Enter the amount of one token. The interface automatically calculates the required amount of the second token based on the current pool ratio. Both tokens must be deposited at the current ratio.
Review and confirm
Review the share of the pool you’ll receive and the LP tokens you’ll be minted. Click Confirm deposit and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Removing liquidity
Go to Pools
Open stg-app.rivrdex.io and navigate to Pools.
Select your position
Under Your positions, find the pool you want to exit and click Remove Liquidity.
Choose how much to withdraw
Use the slider or enter a percentage to select how much of your position to remove. You can withdraw all or a partial amount.
Review the output
The interface shows how much of each token you’ll receive, including your share of accumulated fees. Review the amounts.
Impermanent loss
When you deposit into a pool, the pool rebalances as prices change. If the price of one token moves significantly relative to the other, the value of your position may be lower than if you had simply held both tokens outside the pool. This difference is called impermanent loss. It’s “impermanent” because it only locks in when you withdraw — if prices return to where they were when you deposited, the loss disappears. Fees earned can offset impermanent loss, but this is not guaranteed — especially in high-volatility pairs with low trading volume.For a deeper explanation of impermanent loss, including worked examples, see the FAQ.
