Spot

This mechanism provides uniform liquidity distribution, creating a versatile and well-managed structure applicable to any market and conditions, while considering risks. It is ideal for trading pairs involving stablecoins and optimizes capital utilization.

Curve

This mechanism distributes liquidity in the form of a concentrated curve, allowing for fee generation from both price growth and decline. Liquidity is concentrated around a specific price, making it suitable for pairs consisting of low-volatility stablecoins.

Bid-Ask

This liquidity distribution utilizes a reverse curve, which is particularly effective for averaging strategies and capturing market volatility.

5. Split your deposit

Divide your deposit into equal portions based on the chosen price step.

6. Deploy the liquidity

Place the liquidity into the pool. Earned fees will automatically accumulate in the designated baskets.

Once an exchange occurs within the selected pair at the specified price range, you will receive a reward. Users earn rewards through fee accumulation upon exchange within the specified price range every time someone performs an exchange.

The strategy above provides an overview of liquidity pools on Avalanche, specifically focusing on the AVAX-USDC pool with a current APR (annual percentage rate) of 65.55%.
