What’s a liquidity pool?
A pool is a reservoir of two assets (e.g., FRT and TON) managed by smart contracts. When users swap, the pool balances amounts; liquidity providers receive a share of swap fees.
There are two ways to add liquidity:
1️⃣ Balanced: deposit the same dollar value of both tokens.
2️⃣ Arbitrary (v2 pools): deposit in any ratio or even just one token; the contract handles the math.
Step 1. Pick a pool
Choose a pair (e.g., FRT/TON). Review TVL, 24h volume, and APR to understand pool size, recent activity, and indicative fee rates.
