# Add liquidity

## **What is add liquidity?**

"Adding liquidity" refers to the process of depositing tokens into a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) or platform. By doing this, users (called liquidity providers) supply the pool with the necessary tokens that other traders can swap between.\
\
For example, if you want to add liquidity to an BAR/CHZ pool, you deposit both BAR and CHZ in equal value. In return, you receive liquidity provider (LP) tokens, which represent your share of the pool. You earn a portion of the transaction fees from trades made using the pool. When you withdraw, you'll receive your initial tokens back, plus any fees you've earned.
