Providing Liquidity
Withdrawing Liquidity
Vertex’s innovative design combines an orderbook with an AMM. This allows for low-latency speeds, capital efficiency, and additional earning opportunities — empowering users to provide liquidity and use their LP position as collateral.
Users can provide liquidity to Vertex spot markets to create an LP position.
Liquidity must be provided for both assets -- wETH and USDC. There is no single-sided liquidity providing on Vertex.
The margin for LP positions is based on the non-quote weights.
Margin Example:
$200 wETH-USDC LP position.
The LP margin would use the wETH weights.
wETH initial and maintenance weights are 0.9 and 0.95, respectively.
Margin is $200 * 0.9 for initial and $200 * 0.95 for maintenance.
Even though ½ of the position ($100) consists of USDC, which is weighted at 1.00, the LP position uses the non-quote weight.
