Managing Liquidity Pools - Step-by-Step Instructions


mimo is a decentralized exchange (DEX) with automated liquidity on IoTeX. Instead of a centralized order book, mimo utilizes liquidity pools and automated market making (AMM) algorithms to connect buyers and sellers of crypto-assets in a decentralized fashion. mimo allows anyone to trade or provide liquidity for various pairs of assets, where those that provide liquidity for a specific pool will share the transaction fees from trading.

In this thread, we share step-by-step instructions to manage liquidity pools on mimo.

Step 1: Connect to IoPay Wallet

  2. Choose the second token in the pair
  3. Review the amount of the second token to be added (based on the new price generated by your liquidity addition). Alternatively, you can adapt the amount of the second token, and the amount of IOTX will auto-adapt accordingly
  4. If you had already created a pool for the same pair, you can see your position in the box at the bottom
