Providing Liquidity

In this section, we describe how you can begin providing liquidity to Across. This is an important component of the Across ecosystem as this passive capital is used to quickly reimburse the active capital provided by the relayers.
When an individual provides liquidity to a pool, the individual receives an LP token which represents their individual share of the pool. This share becomes more valuable over time as it accrues fees generated from transfers.
The liquidity provider can withdraw their position at any time, provided there is enough liquidity in the pool. While the amount a liquidity provider withdraws from the pool will always be equal to or greater than what they put in, it's possible a liquidity provider may need to wait until tokens are transferred from non-Ethereum Mainnet chains into the unified liquidity pool on Ethereum Mainnet.
Pool Tab Contents
Before we walk through how to provide liquidity using Across, let's first go through the data displayed in the Pool tab on Across:
Position: Your total deposits to the liquidity pool. Be sure to select the pool you provided liquidity to in the drop-down list if you are having issues seeing your deposit amount.
Fees earned: Your portion of the liquidity fees earned from the pool. This value will continue to increase from fees the longer you have funds allocated to the pool.
Total Pool Size: The total supply of all deposits in the pool.
Pool Utilization: The percentage of the deposits in the liquidity pool currently being utilized.
Current APY:  APY currently accruing to LP tokens.
Projected APY: Estimated liquidity fees earned annually on your deposit amount taking into consideration the pool utilization percentage.
