# How to Provide Liquidity?

$TLP is the liquidity provider token on Trado Exchange. Purchasing TLP is equivalent to providing liquidity to the platform, while selling TLP means withdrawing liquidity.

### **Purchasing** $TLP

1. Click on "**Token**" to enter the "**Pool**" interface. On the right side, click "Buy $TLP". After entering the USDX amount, you can instantly see the corresponding amount of $TLP.

2. After clicking "Buy", the system will prompt a wallet popup for agreement signature.
3. The user's payment request will be executed at the next epoch opening.
4. After execution, click "Claim" to receive the $TLP you purchased.

### **Selling** $TLP

1. Users can click "**Sell TLP**" on the right side of the "**Tokens**"- "**Pool"** interface. After entering the amount of $TLP to sell, you can instantly see the corresponding USDX balance.
2. After clicking "**Sell**", the system will prompt a wallet popup for agreement signature.
3. The user's payment request will be executed at the next epoch opening.
4. After execution, click "Claim" to receive the USDX obtained from selling your $TLP.

Note: When users interact with $TLP, their assets do not directly interact with the liquidity pool but require waiting until the current epoch ends to truly complete the purchase or sale.

#### Risk Warning

**Counterparty Risk:** The $TLP pool serves as counterparties to traders, and trader profits will affect the value of the $TLP pool.

**Token Risk:** Tokens transferred across chains may depend on the security of the cross-chain bridge, and fixed-value tokens may carry disconnection risks.
