# Adding/Removing/Locking Liquidity Guide

If you’ve already created a liquidity pool on PancakeSwap or Uniswap, how do you view your pool? Simply open PandaTool Liquidity Console, as shown below:

<figure><img src="https://3429323453-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzBn8ubMM82V3XXcAjE7u%2Fuploads%2F28nzDaZTiBTy0OzNUjPI%2F1view%20pool.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5d86e871-a31c-4922-ae90-5086d18f6748" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You have two key actions: **Add Liquidity** or **Remove Liquidity**.

* **Add Liquidity**: Deposit more tokens to expand your pool.
* **Remove Liquidity**: Withdraw funds from the pool, halting trading activity.

Both actions manage existing pools via **PandaTool’s Liquidity Console**.

## How to Add or Remove Liquidity

### **1.Access PandaTool & Connect Wallet**

* Go to PandaTool’s Liquidity Console: <https://www.pandatool.org/#/LPmanage?lang=en-US>
* Connect your wallet (top-right) and select the blockchain.
* Refresh the page to auto-load your liquidity positions:<br>

### **2.Adding Liquidity (Increasing Pool Size)**

Use this to boost trading volume after creating a pool.

* Click **Add** → Enter token amounts (*Base Token* and *Quote Token*).
* **Approve**: Authorize both tokens (confirm in wallet).
* Click **Add Liquidity** and confirm the transaction.
* Success notification will appear.

### **3.Removing Liquidity (Withdrawing Funds)**

Withdraw partial/full liquidity. Full removal disables trading. Withdrawn tokens go to the operator’s wallet.

* Click **Remove** → Set withdrawal percentage (0%–100%).
* **LP Tokens to Remove**: Auto-calculated based on %.
* **Tokens to Receive**: Estimated base/quote tokens.
* **Receiving Wallet**: Defaults to connected wallet (changeable).
* **Approve LP Token**: Authorize the router contract.
* Click **Confirm Removal** and sign in wallet.
* After a few seconds, you’ll see a “Removal Successful” message.

### **4.Locking Liquidity**

Liquidity Locking, as the name implies, secures the liquidity pool to prevent providers from withdrawing their funds. This effectively mitigates the risk of project teams executing a **'rug pull'.**&#x20;

To perform this operation, click the 'Lock Pool' button.

<figure><img src="https://3429323453-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzBn8ubMM82V3XXcAjE7u%2Fuploads%2F9py0zZiiYWAtUkmlg29n%2F11%20Lock%20Pool.png?alt=media&#x26;token=0f4ef4d8-d9c8-4f95-9e3b-3177558cc53f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

After clicking the lock pool button, a page will pop up for you to enter lock details in lock liquidity parameters.

<figure><img src="https://3429323453-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzBn8ubMM82V3XXcAjE7u%2Fuploads%2FATf8iJv5NCZfRHhitY65%2F12%20LOCK%20POOL.png?alt=media&#x26;token=ad68cc4a-c6b2-4f57-8861-251711ea37bc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Lock Percentage:** percentage of *your* share, not the entire pool.
* **Lock LP Amount:** auto-calculated from the percentage.
* **Unlock Time:** in your local time zone.
* **Lock title:** optional.
* **Approve LP token:** you must approve before withdrawing later.

{% hint style="success" %}
**On Percentage Calculation:**

*If you are the sole liquidity provider in the pool, the locking percentage equals the pool's total liquidity percentage. For multi-provider pools, the calculation differs. For example:*

* *You own 20% of the pool shares.*
* *Locking 100% → Only 20% of the **total pool liquidity** is locked.*
* *Locking 20% → Only 4% (20% × 20%) of the total liquidity is locked.*
  {% endhint %}

After approving LP tokens, click "**Confirm Lock**" and wait a few seconds for completion.

This concludes the tutorial on adding liquidity, removing liquidity, and locking liquidity. Compared to creating a liquidity pool, the process of adding to or removing liquidity from a pool is relatively straightforward.

## **FAQs**

**Q:Why do Add/Remove transactions fail?**

* ***A:**&#x54;wo common reasons:*

1. **Insufficient gas fees**: Ensure your wallet has ≥0.011 BNB (BSC) or equivalent chain coin.
2. **Router not whitelisted**: For tokens with transfer/holding restrictions, whitelist the router:\
   **BSC Router Address**: `0x6ADCc1B97d84a2F566b443a6215ea0b01D40EBA4`

**Q: Can tokens still be traded after Liquidity Locking?**

* *A: Yes. Liquidity Locking only prevents project teams from removing the pool—it **does not affect token trading**.*

**Q: Can LP tokens be withdrawn early after locking?**

* *A: **No.** LP tokens remain locked until the specified date. **No early withdrawals are possible**, regardless of user permissions.*

**Q: Is locked liquidity visible on Ave?**

* *A: Yes. After locking, Ave (e.g., Ave.ai) will display the **Pinksale lock badge** for verification.*

**Q: Are fees charged for adding/removing/locking liquidity?**

* *A: **Yes. Each action** (adding liquidity, removing liquidity, or locking liquidity) **incurs a flat fee of 0.01 BNB**.*
