A step-by-step guide to using OKX Swap and OKX Farm on OKC
The DeFi space saw major growth in 2020 and saw decentralized exchanges and automated market makers gain popularity in the crypto space. Liquidity mining has also been an important innovation in this development, as it allows users to earn token rewards by supplying liquidity to DeFi protocols via a process called “staking” — i.e., depositing tokens into a smart contract.
Since DeFi’s explosive growth in 2020, so-called yield farmers have been storing their digital assets in various decentralized offerings in an attempt to maximize their portfolio returns without selling the assets themselves.
In order to further bolster the DeFi ecosystem and provide users with more innovative offerings, OKX has launched OKX Swap and OKX Farm, two decentralized applications built on OKC.
In short, OKX Swap is a decentralized automated market maker application that allows users to quickly and efficiently swap between major cryptocurrencies; OKX Farm allows anyone to create farm pools for their project, in which yield farmers may stake their digital assets for attractive returns.
For an in-depth look at OKC and its architecture and protocols, check out the technical overview here.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to swap assets using OKX Swap and participate in the liquidity mining on OKX Farm.
From the OKX homepage, navigate to “Trade” in the top menu and click on Swap under “DEX Trading” to open OKX Swap.
A digital wallet on OKC is required in order to trade in OKX Swap. New users can navigate to Create wallet in the top right corner to create one, while users with existing OKC wallets can click on Import wallet to proceed.
To create a wallet, users need to follow the instructions on the screen and save their password in a secure location, since the platform does not save any passwords, mnemonic phrases, keystore files or private keys. Click Next to proceed.
Back up your mnemonic phrase and click Continue to proceed.
Complete the mnemonic phrase verification and click Confirm to complete the wallet setup.
Once your wallet is connected, you can trade via the liquidity pools in OKX Swap. In this example, we will swap 100 USDT for the equivalent in OKT.
Using the interface, select USDT as the sending currency and OKT as the receiving currency.
Enter the amount of USDT you wish to swap and the application will automatically convert it into units of OKT that you will then receive in your wallet. Note that a liquidity provider fee of 0.3% is applied to each transaction. Click Confirm to proceed.
Enter the password you had set for your wallet earlier and click OK to complete the transaction.
After your swap is executed, you can review the transaction by clicking on Asset balance under the Wallet tab and selecting Transaction record.
Apart from trading via existing liquidity pools, users can also add liquidity to existing pools on OKX Swap.
To add liquidity to an existing liquidity pool, go to the Pool tab and click Add Liquidity.
In this example, we will add liquidity to the OKT/USDT liquidity pool.
Select OKT and USDT via the interface and enter the amount of OKT you wish to supply to the pool. OKX Swap will then automatically calculate the corresponding amount in USDT that you need to provide.
Note that the estimated pool ratio refers to the liquidity in this OKT/USDT pool compared to all OKT/USDT pools on OKX Swap. Click Confirm to proceed.
Enter the wallet password and click OK to complete the transaction. Adding liquidity to the OKT/USDT liquidity pool will provide you with the liquidity pool tokens, which can be staked in liquidity pools on OKX Farm (see below).
After adding the liquidity to a pool, you can review your transaction by clicking on Asset balance under the Wallet tab.
To browse all liquidity pools available for trading, users can go to the Markets tab. The Markets page displays all available liquidity pools with relevant stats.
Users can add liquidity to the existing liquidity pools directly or trade by clicking Add liquidity or Trade.
From the OKX homepage, navigate to “Trade” in the top menu and click on Swap under “DEX Trading” to open OKX Swap. Then, hover over “SWAP Trade” at the top of the page and click FARM Pool in the dropdown menu to open OKX Farm.
Once you have acquired LP tokens for OKT/USDT as described in the tutorial for OKX Swap above, go to the OKT/USDT liquidity pool under the “1st Pool” tab on the OKX Farm page. The liquidity pools under the 1st Pool tab are the featured LPs in OKX Farm. Click STAKE to proceed.
Input the amount of LP tokens to stake in the liquidity pool. In this example, we stake 0.019 LP tokens in the OKT/USDT pool. Click Stake to proceed.
You can claim the staking-reward tokens you’ve earned at any time by clicking Claim on the “1st Pool” tab. Claimed tokens will be distributed to your wallet.
You can withdraw your LP tokens from the pool at any time by clicking UNSTAKE on the “1st Pool” tab. Choose the amount of LP tokens you wish to unstake and click Unstake to proceed. Your LP tokens will be distributed to your wallet.
