Symbiosis Liquidity Pools
Symbiosis WebApp user guide: Depositing and withdrawing liquidity to/from Symbiosis Octopools.
Symbiosis owns two Octopools that are used to run cross-chain operations. Every cross-chain operation performed via Symbiosis passes through one of the Octoppols. Symbiosis Octopools are located on Boba BNB (the Symbiosis host chain), and:
- One of the pools contains sUSDC, sUSDC.e, sBUSD tokens for corresponding blockchains (Ethereum, the BNB chain, etc.) and USDC for Boba BNB,
- The other contains sWETH tokens for corresponding blockchains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.)
Any user who adds assets to an Octoppol becomes a liquidity provider and receives rewards for providing liquidity. For more information about Rewards Programs, please refer to Symbiosis Reward Programs.
The easiest way to find complete information about the Symbiosis liquidity pools (Octopools) is to use Symbiosis WebApp:
- 1.
- 2.Check details:— Total Locked indicates the total number of tokens locked. — Coverage Ratio is the asset-to-liability ratio; it determines the swapping slippage, withdrawal, and deposit ratios. — APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate for providing liquidity and depends on trading volume and is recalculated daily. More information here: Farming on Octopools — Boosted APR includes the APR for providing liquidity and additional rewards in SIS tokens for veSIS holders. More information APR vs. Boosted APR
As you may know, when you add liquidity to a liquidity pool you receive LP tokens in exchange. These LP tokens are used to withdraw the assets from the liquidity pool. Therefore, please pay close attention to the address to which your LP tokens are sent.
By default, LP tokens are sent to the address that matches the sender's address (the address from which you send liquidity). This works fine if your assets and the liquidity pool are on the same blockchain.
The Symbiosis liquidity pool is located on Boba BNB. In most cases, you add liquidity to this pool from a different blockchain. By default, LP tokens are sent to the address on BOBA BNB that matches the sender's address (the address from which you send liquidity).
If you use a multisig contract to sign transactions, please provide a valid address on Boba BNB for LP tokens. This is very important because the multisig contract addresses are likely to be different on the source blockchain (from which you send liquidity) and the destination blockchain (Boba BNB).
To change the address for LP tokens, click the cog icon next to the address:
Enter a valid address (the address you have access to) and save the changes.
