2 min readApr 24, 2023
If you launch a token and want your users to have the ease of a Swap, use Alcor! Anyone can provide liquidity and earn fees for trades made on the pair.
Adding Liquidity
To enable the Swap function on Alcor, we must add liquidity to a Pool.
- Go to: https://proton.alcor.exchange/positions
- Click “+ New Position” in the top right
Fill out the following fields on the Add Liquidity Page
- Choose pair
- Set current price
Note: pools doesn’t allow you to put in a price lower than 0.0001 or something like that, so flip the pair.
(XPR/<TOKEN> pool price = 1 divided by <TOKEN>/XPR price)
- Select Fee Tier (you receive fees as an LP when people swap)
- Choose your Price Range in which your pool will provide liquidity.
- Deposit equal amounts of assets into the pool
- Add Liquidity
