Add liquidity
Open Pools → Explore and use the Add liquidity ticket beside the price chart. As a guest you see a sign-in card in its place: sign in with email, or with a browser wallet and one signed message.
1. Choose the wallet
Use Sign with at the top of Pools:
- EVPLUS wallet signs on the server. The Wide and Tight bots run on it. If you have none yet, create it on Swap first.
- Browser wallet adds Manual ranges by hand. Your wallet asks you to approve each step.
Check the wallet chip before you deposit. It shows which wallet the deposit comes from.
2. Choose who keeps the range in place
Open Strategy and pick Tight bot, Wide bot or Manual. A locked choice says why under the menu. For example:
- A browser wallet adds Manual ranges only.
- Bot places can be full. Manual ranges stay open, and the ticket checks again every 15 seconds.
- The wallet already runs bot ranges. Add money to them with Add funds instead.
With a bot chosen, Also open a Wide range (split) or Also open a Tight range (split) opens both bots from one deposit. The slider sets how much goes to each range.
3. Enter the deposit
Type the amount in dollars under You deposit. The line above it shows the wallet’s ETH and USDG balance. Max fills the largest deposit your funds cover after the ETH kept for gas.
The bar under the amount shows the deposit’s ETH and USDG by value at the pool price. A range around the current price holds both tokens in the ratio its band sets, so the ticket splits your dollars between them. A range outside the current price holds one token only.
- A bot range needs at least $11. That is a $1 margin over the bots’ $10 minimum, so the range stays above it after the swap fee and price moves.
- A Manual range has no set minimum, but an amount too small for its band is refused.
- If an EVPLUS wallet’s USDG does not cover the deposit, the ticket funds it from ETH: part of the ETH is swapped to USDG first. This ETH-only deposit is not available for a wallet that already has bot ranges (paused ones included); deposit ETH and USDG instead. A browser wallet deposits the tokens the range needs directly, with no swap; a range outside the current price needs only one token.
4. Check the ticket’s rows
| Row | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Range | A bot range’s band, with its width around the price. The ⓘ says where it opens: at the bot’s current band (it then moves only when needed), or at the bot’s latest width centred on the price, which the bot places again once and pays gas for. |
| Range preset, Min price, Max price | Manual only. Like Tight and Like Wide copy the width of that bot’s current band, Relaxed (the default) is twice as wide as Like Wide, and Custom uses your own prices. Presets are centred on the price. A Manual range never moves. |
| Kept for gas | ETH that stays in your wallet to pay network gas. It is not deposited. Bots pay their gas from it and never spend the last 0.010 ETH. |
| Swap fee | Shown for an ETH-only deposit: the fee on the ETH swapped to USDG, quoted at review. |
| Pool price | The price of the EVPLUS ETH / USDG pool that the deposit is sized at, marked live while current. |
| Capital efficiency | How much more liquidity per dollar the band gives than a full-range position. |
| Shock re-centring | With a Tight range in the deposit, choose its shock trigger: 10, 20 (the default) or 30 bps. A Wide range on its own shows “Tight only, so off for Wide”. |
On an EVPLUS wallet’s first bot setup, Kept for gas has an Edit button. You can keep from 0.015 ETH up to 1 ETH; 0.020 ETH is the default. The amount is set once for the wallet.
5. Read the ”$ a day” line
Under the amount, Explore can show: At this size, the last 24 h would have paid about $X a day.
It is the LP fees that ranges of this size and band would have earned from the pool’s swaps over the last 24 hours. A split deposit asks for each range at its own share and band and adds them up.
It is not a forecast or a promise. It counts fees only, before bot costs. It leaves out gas, the cost of moves, the swap fee of an ETH-only deposit, and any change in the value of your ETH and USDG. It applies the band your range would open at to the whole day, so it does not model later moves. The line is left out while the estimate is incomplete.
Guests see a small table instead: what $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 in the Wide bot’s band would have earned a day over the last 24 hours, with the same limits.
6. Review and confirm
Review deposit quotes every range and shows the review. Nothing is sent yet.
The review is valid for 30 seconds. For each range it shows the ETH and USDG to deposit, the band and what the range is worth. It says when a range starts out of range and holds one token only. An ETH-only deposit shows the ETH swapped, the minimum USDG it must return and the swap fee. The fine print shows Deposit fee $0.00; network gas applies.
Then confirm with the button for your choice:
- Confirm and start the bot for a bot deposit. Pressing it is your consent for the bot to move the range. You can pause it anytime in My Positions.
- Confirm deposit for a Manual range, after ticking I understand this range stays fixed and earns only while the price is inside it.
- Pause bots and confirm when an EVPLUS wallet adds a Manual range while its bot ranges run. The bot ranges pause while the Manual range is added, then resume.
Edit deposit closes the review and keeps your inputs. If the quote expires, Refresh quote quotes again.
7. After you confirm
Deposit progress shows the approval, the mint, the confirmation and the bot setup.
A bot deposit adds each range one at a time, then starts the bot. While it runs, the ticket shows Your deposit is in progress with each range’s state and buttons such as Continue, Start the bot, Finish setup or Stop here. With two ranges, Tight switches on once Wide is running.
If the page reloads or an answer is lost, the ticket keeps the saved request. Use Check / resume saved deposit instead of starting a new deposit. A submitted deposit is not confirmed until its status says so.
