Think people should be able to buy and sell crypto without being spied on? Excellent. This tutorial will show you how to contribute liquidity and earn rewards for helping people trade privately.
How it works
When you contribute liquidity to any pair, you earn trading fees in those currencies, e.g. USDT and XMR and liquidity mining rewards in PRV (this is only applied for the whitelisted pairs).
1. Join a reward-earning pool
The real-time APR represents current earnings from trading fees of that pair. A liquidity pool consists of a pair of 2 tradable currencies. To join a pool, both sides of the pair must be contributed, at a rate determined by the current trading price.
APR adapts in real-time based on 2 factors – liquidity and trading volume of a particular pool. The formula for determining APR is trading fees earned over 1 year (extrapolated from the last 7 days), divided by current pool liquidity. APR does not take into account any impermanent loss.
To see a list of reward earning pools and their respective APRs, access the Earn tab from bottom bar.
Tap on a pair to contribute liquidity for it.
Once you’ve contributed liquidity, you’ll see it reflected on this page. Here you’ll see all the pools you’ve invested in, and the rewards you’ve earned (a total of fees collected).
2. Contribute or remove liquidity any time
Simply tap on the pair to pull up details of your contribution. You’ll be given the option to invest more, or remove your contribution.
3. Manage your rewards
Rewards are paid out every block (~40s). They do not compound, and can be withdrawn at any time from the rewards tab.
The main screen of the Rewards tab displays your reward totals in USD, but to see currency-specific earnings, just tap on the relevant pair. You’ll see the fees you’ve earned.
Invest more, or withdraw your rewards.

Note to old hands: This is the ‘Add’ function reworked (2-sided liquidity contribution, now with rewards). ‘Provide’ is still functional and can be accessed from the ‘More’ tab.
