# Manual Mode
## Step-by-Step Guide: Adding Liquidity (Manual Mode)
### 1. Choose a Pool
Navigate to the **‘Pools’** section and select the trading pair you wish to provide liquidity to (e.g., `TOKEN_A / TOKEN_B`).
> 💡 If the pool doesn't exist yet, you can create one by clicking **‘Create Pool’**. You’ll supply assets in a roughly 50/50 value ratio to initialize the pool and select your preferred fee tier (more on fee tiers in a later section). Pool creation is permissionless and free.
On the pools' page, you’ll see key metrics such as **TVL**, **24h Volume**, **24h Fees**, and **APR** for available pools. These help you evaluate the pool’s health and potential earnings.
### 2. Create a Position
Click **‘Create Position’** to begin the process.
### 3. Choose a liquidity provisioning mode
Choose "Manual" to proceed with adding liquidity manually.
### 4. Set Your Price Range & Deposit Amounts
#### 4.1 Define the Range
Use available presets or manually set the **min and max prices** of your position. This determines where your liquidity will be active.
* **Narrower ranges** concentrate liquidity, increase potential yield, but require more attention.
* **Wider ranges** reduce the need for active management but dilute fee-earning potential.
> 🔢 Note: Prices are aligned with ticks—predefined intervals—so manual entries will round to the nearest valid tick.
When setting a range, consider:
* Your market expectations (bullish, bearish, sideways)
* How often you can monitor or adjust your position
* Potential network fees or transaction costs
#### 4.2 Input Amounts
Once your range is set, enter the amount of one token; the other token’s amount will autofill based on your price range and the current market price.
* If your range is heavily skewed above or below the current price, you'll provide more of one asset.
* You may also choose to provide **single-sided liquidity** (just one asset), enabling advanced strategies like buy/sell ranges or passive DCA.
> ✅ The “Full Range” option mimics V2-style AMMs and distributes liquidity across the entire price spectrum.
### 5. Confirm & Submit the Transaction
Click **‘Create Position’** and approve the transaction in your connected wallet.
Once confirmed:
* You’ll receive an **on-screen success notification**
* Your assets are now part of the pool and begin **earning fees immediately**
To learn how to manage your position—adjust ranges, claim fees, or withdraw liquidity—continue to the **“Managing & Adjusting Positions”** section of this guide.
