A pool holds two assets so people can swap between them. When you add assets to a pool, you become a liquidity provider and receive a share of the trading fees earned by your position.

Ranges, APR, and how a position differs from simply holding the two assets are answered in the [FAQ](/docs/pages/faq#pools-liquidity).

- Use amounts you are comfortable testing with, and check your positions after a large price move.
