# Add Liquidity (Classic)

Classic is the simplest way to earn trading fees: deposit two tokens, receive an **LP token**,
and earn a share of every trade in that pool. No ranges to set, no ongoing management.

If you're not sure whether Classic or Concentrated is right for you, read
[Provide Liquidity: Classic vs Concentrated](liquidity-v2-vs-v3) first.

## Before you start

* Your wallet is [connected](../getting-started/connect-to-prigeex) and on Arbitrum One
* You hold **both** tokens of the pair you want to provide (e.g. some ETH **and** some USDC)
* You have a little **ETH** for the network fee
* You've read [Impermanent Loss, Explained](../learn/impermanent-loss)

## How to add Classic liquidity

1. Go to the **Liquidity** page and choose **Classic** (the simple option).
2. Select the **token pair** you want to provide, e.g. ETH / USDC.
3. Enter an amount for one token. PrigeeX automatically fills in the matching amount of
   the other token. Classic requires the two sides to be **equal in value**.
4. If it's your first time providing a given token, **Approve** it in your wallet (a
   one-time permission per token).
5. Click **Add Liquidity** and **confirm** in your wallet.
6. Once confirmed, you receive an **LP token** in your wallet representing your share of
   the pool.

## What is the LP token you receive?

Your **LP token** is like a receipt that proves your share of the pool. As trades happen
and fees accumulate, the value your LP token can be redeemed for grows. You hold it in
your wallet until you want to withdraw.

## How you earn

Every time someone swaps in that pool, a small fee is added to the pool. Your share of
those fees is automatically reflected in the pool; there's no separate "claim" step in
Classic. When you withdraw, you get back your tokens **plus** your accumulated share of fees.

## Removing your liquidity

1. Go to the **Liquidity** page and find your Classic position.
2. Choose **Remove**, and select how much to withdraw (some or all).
3. Confirm in your wallet.
4. Your two tokens, including earned fees, return to your wallet, and the LP token is
   redeemed.

## Things to keep in mind

* **You provide both tokens in equal value.** If you only hold one, you can
  [swap](swap-tokens) half of it for the other first.
* **Impermanent loss applies.** If the two tokens' prices move apart, you may end up with
  a different mix than you deposited. [Learn why →](../learn/impermanent-loss)
* **Your value fluctuates** with the market price of the two tokens, just like holding
  them directly.

## Want to earn more?

Concentrated can earn significantly more fees for the same deposit, in exchange for a little
management. See [Add Liquidity (Concentrated)](provide-liquidity-v3).
