# Liquidity Providing

<figure><img src="/files/BhODDLPpsAaMfw1USa5V" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When you add tokens to a CarboSwap Liquidity Pool you will receive LP tokens that will allow you to share out trading fees with other liquidity providers.

### LP Tokens

If you deposit APT and CARBO tokens in a liquidity pool you will receive APT/CARBO LP tokens which will represent your portion of the APT/CARBO Liquidity Pool. The funds deposited will be redeemable at any time. All you need to do is remove your liquidity.

### Liquidity providers earn trading fees

When traders swap tokens among your liquidity pool, you earn a share of the fees.

If your pair is traded on CarboSwap, users have to pay a fee that is entierly shared among liquidity providers. The fees increase depending on the risk that a liquidity provider takes.\
These fees are subsequently added to the respective Liquidity Pool.

#### Trading fees for a token are chosen by their deployer when he adds liquidity to his token through CarboSwap for the very first time

| Classic pools \[APT/USDT]     |                                     0.15% | USD stablecoin with a volatile token (unpegged) pool |
| Volatile pools \[APT/CARBO]   |                                      0.3% |                  two volatile tokens (unpegged) pool |

For added gains, you can also farm your LP tokens for some nice yield on our Turtle Farms all while still earning your trading fees.
