New to LPing? Start here.
Put your money to work: provide liquidity, earn real fees, and grow the ecosystem you're already using.
Gyre makes providing liquidity easy. Full customization, detailed tracking, and every fee traced back to what you put in. No wallet access, no lockups, nothing to trust but the contract.
What is LPing?
LPing, short for liquidity providing, means depositing tokens into a pool so other people have something to trade against. Every swap through that pool pays a fee, and liquidity providers split it, sized to what they put in.
That's the core mechanism. Everything else on this page is detail on top of it.
Why liquidity matters
Every new token needs a market before it needs anything else. More tokens launch every day, across more chains, and each one needs people willing to sit on both sides of a trade so buyers and sellers can actually meet.
That's what LPs do. Not a side character in DeFi, the infrastructure everything else sits on top of. A token with no liquidity is a token nobody can actually trade, no matter how good the launch behind it.
Gyre exists for the people doing that work.
Price stability
More liquidity means less price impact per trade.
Execution
Bigger orders fill without getting wrecked by slippage.
Market health
Liquid markets recover faster from shocks.
Trading strategy
Knowing where liquidity sits helps you time entries and exits.
Why Gyre
Gyre exists because managing LP positions on most platforms is tedious and not user friendly. Everything here is built to remove that friction, by liquidity providers who've felt it firsthand.
Built for LPs, by LPs
The team uses Gyre daily to manage its own positions. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves, not because it looked good in a deck.
Earn money by providing liquidity
Deposit into a pool, traders pay to swap against it, and your share streams to you automatically. That's the entire earn loop.
Two core mechanics
Gyre has two halves that feed each other. Neither depends on the other to work.
Stakes
Put liquidity into a token pool and collect a share of the fees traders pay on it.
Pools
Build a shaped position from a single coin and manage it from one page.

Getting Started
Everything you need before your first deposit: a wallet, a little ETH for gas, and five minutes.
Connecting your wallet
Gyre connects through any standard EVM wallet. MetaMask and Rabby Wallet cover most people, anything that supports WalletConnect works too. Click Connect Wallet top right, approve the connection in your wallet, you're in.
Gas: what you need before you start
Every action on Gyre, depositing, claiming, withdrawing, is a transaction on Robinhood Chain, and every transaction costs a small amount of gas, paid in ETH. Keep a bit of ETH sitting in your wallet before you do anything else, on top of whatever you're depositing.
Robinhood Chain fees run well below Ethereum mainnet, but they aren't zero. If a transaction fails or won't confirm, check your ETH balance first, it's the most common cause.
Before your first deposit
From here: Pools if you want to pick your own token and range, or Stakes if you'd rather deposit into an existing one and let it run.
Guides
Stakes
A stake is attached to one token pool. Everyone who deposits owns a proportional slice, and rewards are split by that slice for as long as you stay in.
Depositing
Pick a stake
Choose one coin or ETH & token at the current pool ratio.
Gyre builds it
You never handle LP tokens. Wallet asks once per step. Leftover is refunded as part of it.
Staked automatically
Minted and staked for you in the same flow.
Rewards
Rewards accrue continuously and are paid in WETH, streamed out over a 7 day period rather than paid instantly, so a single large fee event doesn't all land on whoever happens to be staked that minute. See exactly how in Fees.
No further cut, the only fee is already applied before rewards reach you. Compounding isn't live yet, claim and redeposit manually for now.
Getting out
Withdraw unstakes your position and turns it back into coins, in proportion to what the position holds. Nothing is sold on your behalf.

Creating a stake
Anyone can create a stake for a token that already has a WETH pool. Gyre finds the pool automatically. One stake per pool through the interface, so stakers aren't split across duplicates.

Pools
Find the token, read its chart, choose a shape, and mint. Every position is minted into a Gyre contract that holds the position NFT. Only you have access to it, the Gyre team cannot see or touch what you do with it.
Finding a token
Trending ranks tokens whose volume is surging right now, hottest at the top.
Established ranks the biggest caps that still trade.
Liquidity pools
A token can trade in more than one market at once. This pair alone has a V4 pool quoted in ETH with seven separate fee tiers, from 0.293% up to 4%, a V3 pool also quoted in ETH, and a separate pool quoted in USDG. Gyre finds every one of them and defaults to whichever holds the deepest liquidity, switch manually if you want a specific tier or quote currency.
Real pool picker
Shapes
A position is a price range split into bins. The shape decides how your deposit spreads across them.
Choose your range
Drag the min and max guides on the chart to set the price band your liquidity sits in. Inside the band you earn fees on every trade that crosses it, outside it your position sits fully in one asset until price comes back. A narrow range concentrates your capital and earns more per dollar while price stays inside it, a wide range earns less per dollar but needs less attention.
Your positions
Once you've minted, a position card shows current value, holdings, unclaimed fees, claimed fees, and PnL, all updated live. Gyre takes 1% from fees you claim, never from principal.
Reference
Fees
Gyre takes 1% of the fees you claim.
How a trading fee becomes your reward
Trade happens
Someone swaps through the pool.
Fee collected
The pool's own swap fee.

Glossary
Terms used throughout these docs, grouped by where they come from: LPing itself, DeFi more broadly, and Robinhood Chain specifically.
LP basics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| LP / LPing | Short for liquidity providing. Depositing tokens into a pool so other people have something to trade against. |
| Pool | A market where a token trades against another asset. The same token can have several, at different fee tiers or quote currencies. |
| Position | What lands in your wallet after you deposit into a pool, an ordinary Uniswap position only you control. |
| Stake | A deposit attached to one token pool. You own a proportional slice, and rewards are split by that slice for as long as you stay in. |
| Shape | Decides how your Pools deposit spreads across the bins in your chosen range. |
| Bin | A slice of a price range. A position's liquidity is split across these. |
| Range | The min/max price band your liquidity sits in. Inside it you earn fees on every trade that crosses it, outside it your position sits fully in one asset until price returns. |
| Swap fee | The fee traders pay on every trade through a pool. It's the only source of rewards, nothing is minted to fund it. |
| Claim | Moving accrued rewards from a stake to your wallet. Rewards keep accruing whether or not you claim. |
| Withdraw | Unstaking a position and turning it back into the underlying coins, in proportion to what it holds. No time lock, no exit penalty. |
DeFi basics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Wallet | The app that holds your keys and approves transactions. Gyre connects to any standard EVM wallet, including anything that supports WalletConnect. |
| EVM | Ethereum Virtual Machine, the standard Robinhood Chain and its wallets, tokens, and contracts all follow. |
| Gas | The network fee paid to process a transaction. On Gyre, it's paid in ETH. |
| Self-custodial | Only your own wallet can move your deposit. The Gyre team can't see or touch it. |
| Slippage | The gap between the price you expect and the price you actually get. Deeper liquidity keeps it small, a thin pool lets a big order move the price against itself. |
Robinhood basics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain | The EVM chain Gyre runs on, chain id 4663. Fees run well below Ethereum mainnet, but aren't zero. |
| Chain ID | The network identifier a wallet uses to confirm which chain it's connected to. Robinhood Chain's is 4663. |
| WETH | Wrapped ETH. Gyre pools quote against it, and rewards are paid in it. |
| ETH | The gas token on Robinhood Chain. Keep a little in your wallet before depositing, it's needed for every transaction on top of whatever you're depositing. |

Frequently asked
Common questions on rewards, custody, and what the team can and can't do.
Questions
Where do rewards actually come from?
Every trade that goes through the pool pays a fee, that's the swap fee traders already pay. Gyre doesn't mint anything to fund your reward, it streams a share of that existing fee to you.
Why is my reward rate different from the number on the table?
The rate is measured over a recent window and assumes the same fee flow continues. It moves with volume, and changes when others deposit or withdraw, because rewards are split by share.
Do I need to claim to keep earning?
No. Rewards accrue whether or not you claim. Claiming just moves them to your wallet.
Can the team take my deposit?
No. Deposits sit in the stake contract and only your own wallet can withdraw them. The owner key can lower the fee and pause new deposits, but cannot raise the fee or move a staked position.
