7

Approve the transaction

Review the details in your wallet, including any network fees, before approving.
Review your range, deposit amounts, slippage setting, and current pool price carefully. If the pool price differs from wider market prices, or if the deposit details do not match your expectations, your position outcome may differ from expectations.

​
After depositing

You will not receive a new pool position NFT. Your existing NFT continues to represent the updated position with additional liquidity.
The NFT remains in your wallet displaying “DO NOT BURN.”
Protect your position NFT:
  • Do not sell, transfer, or burn this NFT unless you intend to transfer ownership of the position or permanently give up access to it.
  • This NFT represents ownership of your liquidity position.
  • If you sell, transfer, or burn the NFT, you will lose access to the liquidity position it represents.
  • Orca cannot recover liquidity if the position NFT is burned or transferred away.

​
Important reminders

  • Adding liquidity changes the size of your existing position.
  • Your existing range remains the same unless you create a new position.
  • Fee accrual is not guaranteed and depends on swaps using your in-range liquidity.
  • If your position is out of range, added liquidity may be deposited as one token.
  • Review all wallet prompts before signing.
