Add liquidity to Raydium pools to earn trading fees — complete guide for Standard AMM, CLMM, and CPMM pool types.
Adding liquidity to Raydium pools allows you to earn a share of every swap fee generated in that pool. This guide covers the three pool types available on Raydium — Standard AMM, CLMM (concentrated liquidity), and CPMM — and walks through the exact steps to deposit, monitor, and withdraw liquidity from each.
Solana's largest native AMM — deep liquidity, three pool types, concentrated liquidity, and the primary launchpad for new Solana tokens.
Step-by-step walkthrough — from wallet connection to your first swap or liquidity position.
Go to raydium.io and click the Liquidity tab in the main navigation.
Browse by TVL and APY. Select pool type: AMM for passive, CLMM for active. Click the pool to open the deposit interface.
LP positions require both tokens in the pair (e.g., SOL and USDC). Ensure your wallet holds sufficient amounts of both.
For AMM: enter one token amount and Raydium calculates the other based on current pool ratio. For CLMM: also set your price range. Click Add Liquidity and approve in your wallet.
Find your position in the Portfolio section. Fees accrue continuously. For CLMM, check regularly that price stays within your range.
"Clear guide. Added SOL/USDC liquidity to a standard AMM pool as my first LP position. The process was smooth and I could see my position in the Portfolio immediately. Fees started accruing right away."
"The CLMM flow is more complex but this guide explains the range setting well. Key insight: be conservative with range width at first. Wider ranges earn less but need less rebalancing."
"Adding liquidity and immediately staking LP tokens in the corresponding farm is the optimal flow. Dual income from fees and farm rewards. The guide could mention farm staking as a natural next step after adding LP."
