Frequently Asked Questions
How much liquidity do I need?
Enough to allow reasonable trade sizes without extreme price impact. More liquidity means less slippage for buyers.
What is impermanent loss?
It is the value difference between holding tokens vs providing them as liquidity when prices move. Understand it before depositing.
Should I lock my liquidity?
Locking LP tokens prevents you from pulling liquidity suddenly, which reassures buyers and reduces rug-pull risk.
