Providing Liquidity on Avalanche

Introduction​

Providing liquidity on Avalanche is a great way to earn rewards in ACRE and PGL from fees.

To provide liquidity for the ACRE/AVAX pair, you have to hold both tokens in your wallet and add them to the liquidity pool at Pangolin. In return, we will receive PNG which you can then stake at Arable for ACRE rewards.

Liquidity mining is the process of providing liquidity for a pair of tokens at a DEX (decentralized exchange). In return, you receive LP (liquidity pool) tokens. Providing liquidity for a token pair allows other users to swap between those tokens. The holder of the LP tokens will receive a fraction of the fees (and often other incentives) that the DEX charges anytime someone performs such a swap.

Arable allows you to bond (lock) ACRE/WAVAX LP tokens with Arable and in return, you will earn rewards in ACRE for the time you have bonded your LP tokens. The rewards are calculated based on the amount of ACRE/WAVAX LP tokens that are currently bonded with Arable.

Before you decide to participate in liquidity mining you should be aware of the possibility of impermanent loss. You can find a good explanation of (im-)permanent in this Medium article (external site).

Prequirements​

You need to have a MetaMask wallet with AVAX and ACRE tokens in it. If you don't have the MetaMask wallet, please install the MetaMask browser extension and add support for the Avalanche network and import the ACRE token to MetaMask.
