Provide Liquidity

On this page you will find a step-by-step guide for providing liquidity in the Hydration Omnipool. Becoming a liquidity provider allows you to earn rewards from the fees generated by trades in the pool.

Before deciding to become a liquidity provider, we encourage you to visit our product page and to get yourself familiar with the unique features of the Hydration Omnipool.

00 Transport tokens​

If you would like to execute a trade using a non-native asset (e.g. DOT or DAI), you first need to get these assets to the Hydration chain. This step does not apply to HDX.

There are two different mechanisms to transport non-native assets:

  • Cross-chain transfer - use this tool to transfer assets from other Polkadot parachains, or from Polkadot itself. Step-by-step documentation here;
    • Ethereum bridge - for bridging assets from the Ethereum ecosystem. Step-by-step documentation here.

These solutions can also be used to transport tokens outside of the Hydration network.

In the Hydration Omnipool, each individual asset has a Total Value Locked (TVL) cap. This means that once the cap has been reached, users can no longer further add liquidity for that specific asset.

The individual caps for each asset will be reviewed from time to time by the team; any suggested revisions (either from team or the community) will be submitted as proposals via governance and voted on.
