Create concentrated liquidity positions with selected price ranges.
Custom-range positions let you allocate liquidity within selected price ranges.This can concentrate liquidity across fewer prices than a full-range position, but the position only accrues swap fees while the pool price is within your selected range and swaps use your liquidity.
Custom-range positions require understanding of impermanent loss, token composition changes, and range management. Review Impermanent Loss before creating a position.
