A full-range position spreads liquidity across the full supported price range for a pool. Full-range positions are generally simpler to create than custom-range positions because you do not need to choose a specific price range. Liquidity is spread across a wider range, which can make it less concentrated around the current price.

Possible benefits

  • Simpler range setup
  • Position remains in range across the full supported price range
  • May require less range management than custom-range positions

Important considerations

  • Liquidity is less concentrated around the current price
  • Fee accrual depends on swaps using your liquidity
  • Position value can still be affected by price movement and impermanent loss
Full-range positions may be useful for users who want a simpler range setup. Custom-range positions allow selected price ranges, but may require more monitoring.

Approve the transaction

Review the details in your wallet, including network fees, before approving.
Review the pool price, deposit amounts, slippage setting, and transaction details carefully. If the pool price differs from wider market prices, your position outcome may differ from expectations.

​
After creating your position

Your wallet receives a position NFT that represents your liquidity position. The NFT displays “DO NOT BURN”.
Protect your position NFT:
  • Do not sell or burn this NFT. It represents ownership of your liquidity position.
  • You can transfer it to move your position to another wallet.
  • Orca cannot recover liquidity if the position NFT is burned or transferred away.

  • Fee accrual is not guaranteed and depends on swaps using your liquidity.
  • Token prices can move and affect the value of your position.
  • Slippage, transaction fees, priority fees, and market conditions can affect final outcomes.
