Legacy Pools (V1)
OctoSwap's Legacy Pools use a classic Uniswap v2–style Automated Market Maker (AMM), making it easy for anyone to provide or remove liquidity with just a few clicks. These pools are powered by the constant product formula (x * y = k), which automatically balances trades between two tokens in the pool.
Whenever a swap occurs, the formula ensures that the product of the token reserves remains constant, adjusting prices based on the relative supply of each asset. This mechanism enables truly permissionless, on-chain trading without the need for centralized order books or market makers.
The interface is beginner-friendly and clean, presenting all the features you need—like adding or removing liquidity, viewing your positions, and tracking earned fees—on a single, accessible page. Legacy Pools are ideal for users who prefer a "set-and-forget" approach to liquidity provision, offering simplicity and reliability through proven DeFi infrastructure.
What Are Legacy Pools?
Legacy Pools use the well-known constant product formula (x * y = k) to power token swaps. By supplying equal values of two tokens, you become a liquidity provider (LP) and earn a share of the trading fees generated by the pool.
How to Add or Remove Liquidity?
Everything is managed from a single, unified page:
Select Your Pool
Choose the token pair you want to provide liquidity to from the list of available pools on the liquidity page.
Not seeing your token? Use the import feature to add it manually with the token contract address.
Add Liquidity
Enter the amount of each token you wish to supply (the UI will auto-balance the ratio for you).
Click Add Liquidity and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Remove Liquidity
In the My Positions section, select the pool you've already added liquidity to.
Choose how much liquidity you want to remove (partial or full).
Click Remove Liquidity and confirm in your wallet. Your tokens will be returned automatically.
