Depositing Liquidity

To use a vault, you deposit both tokens of a pool pair. Your deposit is added to the Aquarius AMM pool and begins earning immediately.

How to Deposit

1. Navigate to the Liquidity Vaults section

2. Select a pool from the dropdown (e.g. XLM / AQUA)

3. Enter the amount for one token — the other will auto-calculate based on the current pool ratio

4. Set your slippage tolerance (default: 0.5%)

5. Click Deposit and confirm in your wallet

What Happens On-Chain

Slippage Protection

Pool ratios can shift between when you preview and when your transaction executes. Slippage tolerance defines the maximum acceptable difference:

Setting	Risk Level	When to Use
0.5%	Low	Normal conditions
1.0%	Medium	Moderate volatility
2.0-5.0%	Higher	High volatility or large deposits

If the actual price moves beyond your tolerance, the transaction is rejected and your tokens are returned.

Minimum Deposit

Each pool has a minimum deposit amount determined by the pool's current state. Very small deposits may be rejected if they would produce fewer LP shares than the minimum threshold.
