How to Add Liquidity to Bancor Liquidity Pools on 1inch.Exchange

This guide explains how to add liquidity to a Bancor liquidity pool using 1inch.exchange.

When you add liquidity to a Bancor pool, you’ll receive “pool tokens” in return, representing a pro-rata share of fees generated by the pool. Fees are generated each time the pool processes a conversion. As a liquidity provider, you may withdraw the accumulated liquidity from a pool at any time by selling your pool tokens.

Here’s how to add to add liquidity on 1.inch:

1. Go to: https://1inch.exchange/#/lending

2. Connect your wallet in order to proceed

  • Click the “connect wallet” button on the top left corner

  • Token Supply - indicates the total minted tokens for this pool
  • Pool Fee - indicates the fee that will be collected from every conversion processed by this pool. Meaning, any conversion that requires a conversion between SAI <-> BNT will generate a fee in the pool.

6. Click the + icon in order to trigger the transaction that will fund the pool
