  • Log-in with ICONex wallet
  • After connecting your ICONex wallet, click on the "Balances" tab to reveal your wallet balance - in-wallet - and the balance of any token deposited into the score .

  • You'll see your ICX 'in-wallet' and 'in-score' balances. Your 'in-wallet' balance is the amount of ICX tokens in your ICONex wallet. The 'in-score' balance is the amount of ICX tokens you've deposited into the SCORE smart contract.

The deposited funds will appear under your 'in-score' wallet balance and you should be able to exchange it for a different token using the Swap feature.

Manage Liquidity -

Once users have deposited their tokens into the pool, they can add those funds as a pair into the pool and get LP tokens representing their position in the pool.

Only tokens in the ‘score’ balance can be used to provide liquidity on ICONPool. If your tokens are in your wallet, you’ll need to deposit them into the score.

Total pool: This represents the total amount of tokens deposited into the contract by all liquidity providers on that particular token pair.

My share in the pool: This figure represents the number of tokens you’ve deposited into the pool.

My score balances: This represents the amount of both tokens you’ve deposited into the score. Note — tokens in your wallet won’t appear here.

  • Enter the number of tokens you want to add to the liquidity pool, if the pool is already live, the corresponding amount of the other pair will be displayed. If the pool is not live yet and you are the first depositor, you can choose to deposit tokens based on your price preferences. For new pools right now we have a manual verification process which will be automated in near future.
