Provide Liquidity on the Bridge
Earn swap and bridge fees by facilitating layer ♾️ DeFi infrastructure.
Liquidity is, in many ways, the end-all, be-all for commerce. Without liquidity, value cannot be realized or exchanged, hamstringing markets and users. Within DeFi, the splintering of liquidity with the advent of alternative L1s, sidechains, and L2 solutions poses a seemingly intractable challenge with negative ramifications for slippage, user experience, and market stability. By providing liquidity within Synapse's nexus stablecoin or ETH pools on Ethereum or its various nUSD and nETH pools across the DeFi universe, you can earn yield while providing a solution to this problem.

  5. 5.

Note: there is a bonus or penalty fee assessed for providing assets that are under- or over-provided in the pool. You can ensure that you will have no price impact by providing all of the assets in the pool in the same proportion, or ensure that you will have the greatest positive bonus by depositing the most under-provided asset.

    Once you have provided liquidity, navigate to the "Stake" tab in the Synapse app
