How to LP on QuickSwap on Base V4

In this tutorial, users will learn how to provide liquidity on QuickSwap on Base V4, using Planet IX’s AIX in the AIX-ETH pool as an example (which also has a corresponding farm for this LP pair)

1. Connect to Base: Go to the Pool page, click “Select Network,” and choose Base from the dropdown menu. Next, make sure you’re on the V4 tab (it should be the default).

2. Connect Wallet: Click “Connect Wallet” and select your Web3 wallet provider. Then make sure you have ETH in your wallet to pay gas fees on the Base Network.

1. Swap into AIX: To LP, you’ll need to have both tokens in your wallet. Assuming you already have ETH, select “AIX” from the dropdown menu under “Receive”, and click “Swap”. To complete this step, you will need to confirm the transaction on the swap interface and subsequently in your Web3 wallet.

1. Enter Pools: Now that you have AIX and ETH in your wallet, you’re ready to move forward. To begin the LP process, click on the “Pool” tab in the horizontal menu bar at the top of the page.

2. Set Liquidity Parameters: For (1), select AIX and ETH. For (2), you can either create your own manual LP strategy or use the automatic strategy provided by one of the third-party ALMs. In this example, Steer Protocol’s Wide strategy is selected for (3) and (4) respectively. Lastly, for (5), input the amounts you would like to LP in the corresponding boxes.

3. Provide Liquidity: When you are ready to open your LP position on QuickSwap on Base, click the blue “Create position” button.

   To complete this step, you will need to confirm the transaction on the LP interface and subsequently in your Web3 wallet.

Note: to arrive at the “Create position” button, you may have to complete transactions to approve AIX and ETH in your wallet, as well as to Wrap ETH, in order to be able to proceed to providing liquidity.

1. Monitor Your Position: To monitor the performance of your position, click on “Your positions” toward the upper right side of the screen. A new page will open where you can gauge the performance of your LP position in real time. Note that if you deposited LP into a corresponding farm on the ‘Farms’ page, your liquidity position will automatically begin earning farm rewards.

Congratulations! You’ve now officially opened an LP position on QuickSwap on Base V4.
