Step 2: Navigate to Pool Interface

  1. From the navigation menu, click Pool.

  2. Choose "Pool Wizard".


Step 3: Choose Pool Tokens and Pool Types

  1. Select Tokens

    • Choose the two tokens you want to provide liquidity for.

    • Click on each token slot to open the search window.

    • You can either search by token name or paste the token address directly.

  2. Select Pool Type and Fee Tier

    • After selecting tokens, choose the pool type and fee tier.

    • For V3 pools, you can view the distribution of liquidity providers across different fee tiers to help guide your decision.

  3. Preview Pool Information

    • Before adding liquidity, click the “eye” icon to preview detailed information about the selected pool.

    • You can check pool details such as;

      • Total Value Locked (TVL)

      • Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

      • Swap fee

      • Assets in Pool

  4. Continue

    • Once your selections are complete, click Continue to move to the next step.


Step 4: Set Price Range

  1. Define the price range for your position using the range slider or presets:

    • Narrow Range: High APR potential, high risk of being out-of-range.

    • Common Range: Balanced performance with moderate management required.

    • Wide Range: Lower APR with a low risk of being out-of-range.

    • Full Range: Similar to V2 pools, offering stable but low rewards.

  2. The Current Price of the token pair will be displayed to help you set your range. Note that your position only earns fees while the price remains in your selected range.

Setting the Initial Price (For New Pools Only)

  • If you are creating a new pool that does not yet exist, you must set an initial price.

  • You can either:

    • Manually set the price by choosing a base token and entering the desired price, or

    • Import the market price if the token is already listed on Kyo Finance.

⚠️ Caution: The initial price you set can differ from existing pools with the same assets. This may expose you to losses caused by price discrepancies across pools.


Step 5: Enter Token Amounts and Slippage

  1. Enter the amount for one token, and the system will calculate the proportional amount of the second token required.

  2. Check the Estimated APR displayed based on:

    • Price range

    • Trading volume

    • Liquidity provisioned

  3. Adjust the slippage tolerance (default is 0.5%) based on market volatility:

    • Lower slippage protects you from unexpected price changes but may fail in volatile markets.

    • Higher slippage increases the chance of a successful transaction during high volatility.


Step 6: Review and Confirm

  1. You can double-check all details:

    • Tokens selected

    • Price range

    • Slippage tolerance

    • Token amounts

    • Estimated APR

  2. Approve token spending (only required for the first time).

  3. Click "Create Position" and confirm the transaction in your wallet.


Step 7: Manage Your Position

Portfolio Page

Additionally, you can monitor and manage all LP positions under the Portfolio page. It provides a consolidated view of:

  • Your total liquidity positions

  • Voting rewards (if applicable)

  • Real-time updates on trading fees earned

  • Quick access to stake or unstake LP

Position Details

After creating a position, you can view all your LP positions in the Portfolio page.

  • Your Position Value: Total amount deposited

  • Tokens Held: Breakdown of token balance

  • Price Range: The defined range for your liquidity

  • Status: Displays whether your position is "In Range" or "Out of Range"

  • Actions Available:

    • Add Liquidity: Increase your position by depositing more assets

    • Remove Liquidity: Withdraw part or all of your assets

This page is crucial for real-time liquidity management, allowing you to adjust holdings based on market movement.


Advanced Strategies for V3 Liquidity

V3 liquidity offers a high degree of flexibility. Here are some advanced strategies to optimize your position:

Tight Range for Correlated Assets

  • Best for pairs with minimal price fluctuation (e.g., stablecoin pairs).

  • Maximize fees by narrowing your range to tightly align with current prices.

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)

  • Use broader ranges to accumulate assets as prices dip or sell as prices rise.

  • Example: Provide single-sided liquidity for a token (like $KYO) within a wide target range.

Liquidity for Entry/Exit

  • Deposit tokens at a specific price range to accumulate or sell assets passively while earning fees.

  • Example: Add liquidity to a $KYO pool where the target price matches your sell or buy goals.


Important Notes

Out-of-Range Liquidity:

  • You won’t earn fees if the token price moves outside of your selected range.

Staked vs Unstaked:

  • Staked LP will earn $KYO rewards but forfeit trading fees to veKYO holders (coming after TGE).

  • Unstaked LP earns trading fees directly.

NFTs and Positions:

  • Transferring your liquidity position as an NFT will automatically unstake any staked liquidity.
