Adding liquidity to Bullish Liquidity Pools

Important: Returns may vary with our range-bound versus standard liquidity pools. Learn more by reviewing important information about our range-bound and standard liquidity pools at https://bullish.com/legal/range-bound-liquidity-pools.

Note: BTC/USD is a range-bound liquidity pool with an amplification factor of 3x wherein the lower price boundary is at -56% and the upper boundary at +125% from the price at the time of the pool being initialized.

There are two ways to add liquidity to a Bullish Liquidity Pool:

Option one: Portfolio

Go to the left-hand navigation and choose Portfolio.
Navigate to Liquidity Pool.
Choose Add Liquidity.
Choose the market you wish to contribute to, (e.g. BTC/USD), using the Select Market drop-down menu.
Input the amount of assets or the total amount you want to add.
Choose Add Liquidity.

Option two: Earn

Go to the left-hand navigation and choose Earn.
Choose Add Liquidity to the pool you wish to contribute to.
Choose the market you wish to contribute to, (e.g. BTC/USD), using the Select Market drop-down menu.
Input the amount of assets or the total amount you want to add.
Choose Add Liquidity.

Note: You will need to have sufficient assets in your spot account for your contribution order to be processed.

To contribute to a BLP, you must add an equal value of both assets of the relevant trading pair (e.g. 50% BTC, 50% USD for the BTC/USD liquidity pool) and you must have sufficient funds for both assets in your spot account. If you do not hold the required amount of either asset, you will not be able to add liquidity, unless you choose to reduce your contribution to an amount that matches your available funds in your spot account.

For each BLP, there is a minimum contribution amount:

Currency pair	Minimum BLP contribution
BTC/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of BTC)
ETH/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of ETH)
ETH/BTC	0.25 BTC (0.125 BTC + 0.125 BTC worth of ETH)
EOS/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of EOS)
USDC/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of USDC)
LTC/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of LTC)
LTC/BTC	US$10,000 (US$5,000 worth of BTC and US$5,000 worth of LTC)
LINK/USD	US$10,000 (US$5,000 and US$5,000 worth of LINK)
LINK/BTC	US$10,000 (US$5,000 worth of BTC and US$5,000 worth of LINK)

Note: We represent the BLP's net asset value in quote currency (USD) terms only,
(e.g. BTC/USD = US$10,000; EOS/USD = US$5,000).

Risk Warning: There is a risk of loss when you add liquidity to Bullish Liquidity Pools (BLPs). The value of the BLP's stake depends on real time market changes. There may be times when the price drops, resulting in a loss. Your stake is subject to a seven-day lock-in period before being withdrawn (only applies to standard liquidity pools).
