# Providing Liquidity

This guide will walk you through the steps to provide liquidity via the Sumero app. 

### 1. Navigate To The Pool Page

The first step is to navigate to the Pool page.

### 3. Select An Asset To Pool With USDC

From the toggle list in the Asset field, select the asset you wish to pool with USDC. You may wish to consider factors such as total value locked (TVL), trading volume, and your assessment of the risk that the token prices of the USDC-ASSET pair you have selected diverge in the future.&#x20;

### 4. Enter Deposit Amounts

In the asset input field, enter the amount of the selected asset you want to contribute to this position. USDC and the selected asset must be deposited in a [50/50 ratio](https://support.uniswap.org/hc/en-us/articles/7423702800141) in order to maintain equilibrium within the pool. In order to simplify this calculation, the corresponding amount of USDC required to open the position will be automatically populated.&#x20;

### 5. Approve and Add

When you are finished reviewing the respective pool trading fees, you are ready to submit the transaction. First, you may need to approve the Sumero router contract to allow the protocol to spend both of the selected tokens on your behalf. This is only necessary the first time you provide liquidity for each token.

Once this spend approval transaction has been confirmed, click 'Provide Liquidity' to trigger the transaction in your wallet.

Sign the corresponding transaction in your wallet.

Congrats! Once this final transaction has been signed and confirmed, your assets will be providing liquidity to SumSwap traders and your position will begin earning fees. You can monitor and manage your position on the Sumero [Dashboard page](https://staging.sumero.finance/#/).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sumero.finance/using-sumero/liquidity-provision/providing-liquidity.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
