Provide liquidity to Raydium pools and earn trading fees from every swap. Three pool types for different strategies — here is the complete guide.
Raydium's liquidity pools are the backbone of Solana DeFi — they hold the tokens that enable billions in monthly trading volume. Liquidity providers (LPs) deposit token pairs into these pools and earn a portion of every trading fee generated. Raydium offers three pool types to match different assets and strategies: Standard AMM, CLMM (concentrated liquidity), and CPMM.
Solana's largest native AMM — deep liquidity, three pool types, concentrated liquidity, and the primary launchpad for new Solana tokens.
Step-by-step walkthrough — from wallet connection to your first swap or liquidity position.
Go to raydium.io/liquidity. Browse by TVL, APY, or volume. Filter by pool type (AMM/CLMM/CPMM) based on your strategy.
LP requires both tokens in the pair (e.g., SOL and USDC). Make sure you have both in your wallet.
Click Add Liquidity on your chosen pool, enter amounts, and confirm. For CLMM, also set your price range.
You receive LP tokens representing your share of the pool. Keep these — you need them to withdraw your liquidity.
Monitor your position in the Portfolio section. Fees accrue to your LP position continuously.
"Been providing liquidity on Raydium AMM pools for two years. SOL/USDC and SOL/USDT have been consistently solid — high volume means good fee returns that often outweigh impermanent loss during ranging markets."
"The CLMM APY is significantly higher than AMM when you stay in range. The management overhead is real though. Set calendar reminders to check positions — going out of range for a week with no fees is frustrating."
"The farm rewards on top of base fees make certain pools very attractive during incentive periods. Watch for new pools with launch incentives — the APY in the first few days of a new farm can be exceptional."
