Remove Liquidity

Removing liquidity burns your LP tokens and returns a proportional share of both underlying tokens from the pool reserves.

Removal Methods

By Percentage

Use the percentage slider to remove a portion of your position (25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%). The interface calculates the corresponding LP token amount and expected output for both tokens.

By Exact LP Token Amount

Alternatively, enter a precise number of LP tokens to burn. The interface displays the expected amount of each token you will receive.

Slippage Protection

You can set minimum output amounts for both tokens. If the pool state changes between transaction signing and execution such that the output for either token falls below the specified minimum, the transaction reverts. This guards against front-running and adverse price movement.

Gasless Permit Support (EIP-2612)

LP tokens implement the EIP-2612 permit standard. Instead of submitting a separate on-chain approve transaction before removing liquidity, you can sign an off-chain permit message. The Router contract then uses this signature to transfer and burn your LP tokens in a single transaction, saving gas.

ETH Pairs: Automatic WETH Unwrapping

For pools that contain WETH, the Router automatically unwraps WETH back to native ETH before sending it to your wallet. You receive ETH directly without any manual conversion step.

Output Calculation

The amount of each token you receive is determined by your share of the pool:

tokenA_out = (lpTokensBurned / totalLPSupply) * reserveA
tokenB_out = (lpTokensBurned / totalLPSupply) * reserveB

You always receive both tokens in the exact ratio held by the pool at the time of removal. There is no option to withdraw a single token directly through the remove-liquidity flow.

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Navigate to your liquidity positions and select the pool.
  2. Choose the amount to remove (percentage or exact LP tokens).
  3. Review the expected output amounts for both tokens.
  4. Set minimum output amounts (slippage tolerance).
  5. Sign the permit message (or approve LP tokens if preferred).
  6. Confirm the transaction to burn LP tokens and receive the underlying assets.
