What happens when you withdraw

When you withdraw:
  • Available position balances are returned to your wallet after the transaction confirms
  • Accrued fees may be harvested as part of the withdrawal flow
  • The token amounts you receive depend on the current price relative to your range
  • If you close the position and burn the NFT, the NFT cannot be reused
If your position is out of range, you may receive only one token from the position. Which token you receive depends on whether the current price is above or below your selected range.

​
Position NFT options

When fully withdrawing or closing, review whether the position NFT will be kept or burned.
The position NFT represents ownership of the position.
  • Do not sell, transfer, or burn the NFT unless you intend to transfer ownership of the position or permanently give up access to it.
  • If you burn the NFT, it cannot be reused.
  • If you transfer the NFT, the receiving wallet controls the position.
  • Orca cannot recover liquidity if the position NFT is burned or transferred away.

​
Important reminders

  • Withdrawing liquidity can change your token exposure.
  • Final received amounts may differ from the previewed amounts.
  • Slippage, price movement, network fees, priority fees, and pool conditions can affect withdrawal outcomes.
  • If you withdraw all liquidity but keep the NFT, the position NFT remains in your wallet.
  • Review all wallet prompts before signing.
