How to Provide Liquidity on Uniswap
Overview
Earn fees by providing liquidity to Uniswap V3 pools. Learn to select a pool, set a price range, deposit tokens, monitor your position, and understand impermanent loss. Before diving in, make sure your funds are on the right network — the guide on bridging tokens between chains walks you through the process. Track your LP earnings alongside the rest of your holdings with a portfolio tracker. For more DeFi yield opportunities, explore crypto lending and the DEX directory.
Steps
- 1Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.) to app.uniswap.org.
- 2Click 'New Position' and select the token pair (e.g., ETH/USDC).
- 3Choose the fee tier: 0.05% (stables), 0.3% (standard pairs), 1% (exotic pairs).
- 4Set your price range — tighter ranges earn more fees but require active management.
- 5Approve both tokens and confirm the liquidity deposit transaction.
- 6Monitor your position regularly — if price moves out of your range, you stop earning fees.
Pro Tips
- Start with stablecoin pairs (USDC/USDT) to learn the mechanics with minimal impermanent loss.
- Use concentrated liquidity — a ±10% range earns significantly more than full range.
- Track your position with DeFi dashboards like Zapper or DeBank.
