# Providing Liquidity

## Providing liquidity on Multiswap

LP tokens on Multiswap represent a liquidity provider's share of the pool, similar to other decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The key feature that sets Multiswaps LP tokens apart is the ability to trade LP tokens with any asset.

### Providing Liquidity with a Single Asset

One of Multiswap's innovative features is giving users the opportunity to provide/remove liquidity with just a single token, instead of requiring pool assets to be provided/removed in their exact weights. One downside of providing/removing liquidity in non-exact weights is that it <mark style="color:red;">will lead to price slippage, as the reserves of all tokens are not being scaled equally.</mark>&#x20;

*Trade any number of tokens for the pool token, or vice versa. ⬇️*

### Providing Liquidity in Exact Weights:

Providing liquidity the classic way is made simple on Multiswap. Simply acquire the required tokens in their weights, and place the LP token into the quote panel.&#x20;

You will then be prompted to either "Remove Liquidity" or "Add Liquidity" depending on if the LP token has been placed as a pay or receive token. Selecting one of these choices will construct a Multiswap using the exact weights, ensuring that you suffer <mark style="color:green;">no price slippage</mark>.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.caval.re/getting-started/providing-liquidity.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
