# Pools overview

> Provide liquidity on PancakeSwap, Uniswap and Aerodrome and earn trading fees and farming rewards.

Liquidity pools power every decentralized exchange. Each pool holds two tokens, and traders swap against it. When you add your tokens to a pool, you become a **liquidity provider (LP)**, and you earn a share of every trading fee the pool collects, plus farming rewards where a pool offers them.

DYXY Pools brings pools from **PancakeSwap**, **Uniswap** and **Aerodrome** into one interface. You can compare APRs across protocols, enter a pool with any token you hold, and manage all your positions in one place.

## What you earn

| Source | How it works |
| - | - |
| **Trading fees** | Every swap through the pool pays a fee, for example 0.05% or 0.3%. Fees are split between LPs in proportion to their active liquidity |
| **Farming rewards** | Some pools distribute extra tokens, such as CAKE or AERO, to LPs on top of fees |

## The pool explorer

Each pool in the list shows:

| Column | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pool** | The two tokens, the protocol and the fee tier |
| **Network** | Where the pool lives |
| **TVL** | Total value locked in the pool |
| **24h volume** | Trading volume over the last day |
| **24h fees** | Fees collected by LPs over the last day |
| **APR** | Estimated yearly return from fees and rewards, based on recent activity |

Filter by network, protocol and token, or sort by APR, TVL or volume.

> [!NOTE]
>
> APR is an estimate based on recent volume. It changes every day and is not a guaranteed return. For concentrated liquidity pools, your own APR also depends on the price range you choose.

## Add liquidity with any token

You don't need to hold both tokens of a pool. With **zap in**, you deposit any token, or several, from your wallet. DYXY swaps them into the right ratio and adds the liquidity in a single transaction.

**1. Choose a pool**

Open **Earn → Pools** and pick a pool.

**2. Pick the tokens you deposit**

Use the pool's two tokens, or any other tokens from your wallet.

**3. Set the price range**

For concentrated liquidity pools, choose the range where your liquidity is active. Start from a preset or set it manually. See [Concentrated liquidity](https://docs.dyxy.io/earn/pools/concentrated-liquidity.md).

**4. Review and confirm**

Check the swap route, the amounts going into the position and the price impact, approve the tokens if asked, and confirm.

## Risks

* **Impermanent loss.** When the price of one token moves relative to the other, the value of your position can end up lower than if you had simply held both tokens. Fees may or may not offset this.
* **Out-of-range positions.** A concentrated position earns nothing while the price is outside its range.
* **Smart contract risk.** Funds sit in the protocol's contracts, not with DYXY.

DYXY charges no fee on pools. You pay network gas and any swap inside a zap. See [Fees](https://docs.dyxy.io/getting-started/fees.md) and [Risks](https://docs.dyxy.io/resources/risks.md).
