Guide: Providing liquidity on Sushi

Provide liquidity to Sushi to earn mining rewards paid.

Updated over a week ago

SushiSwap is an AMM (automated market maker) based decentralised exchange that allows users to swap between various token classes and also allows liquidity providers to get more rewards by providing liquidity to pools.

Users can provide wstETH (wrapped stETH) as liquidity to the respective pool to get more rewards and additional incentives.

The pool will be allocated 200,000 LDO for the first month, with up to 13,500 SUSHI allocated from SushiSwap as well.

The wstETH/DAI pool is live here.

How to wrap stETH for wstETH

Users who hold stETH will need to wrap their stETH to wstETH beforehand to interact with SushiSwap. wstETH is a non-rebasing token that remains stable instead of changing daily to reflect staking rewards - staking rewards are only actualised when wstETH is unwrapped.

  1. Head over to Wrap.

  2. Connect your wallet at the top right.

  3. Input the amount of stETH you would like to wrap to wstETH.

  4. Select “Unlock token to wrap” and approve the transaction.

  5. Confirm the final transactions.

How to provide wstETH liquidity

Now that you have wstETH, you can provide it as liquidity to get liquidity mining rewards and trading fees.

  2. Select the “+” button.

  3. Input the amount of wstETH/DAI which you would like to add to the liquidity pool.

  4. Select “Supply”.

  5. Select “Confirm Supply”.

  6. Approve and confirm the transactions in your Ethereum wallet.

How to remove wstETH liquidity

  1. Visit the wstETH/DAI liquidity pair.

  3. Input the amount you would like to remove from the liquidity pool.

  4. Select “Remove” and confirm the transactions.
