Provide Liquidity

• Go to the Liquidity Providing Tab.
• Liquidity providers (LPs) can supply USDC to Vest’s unified liquidity pool and earn a share of trading fees generated by zkRisk.
• The incentive structure is designed to minimize player-versus-player (PvP) dynamics, promoting a more stable, predictable yield and healthier market overall.
• Liquidity withdrawals require an 8-hour lock-up period, ensuring system stability while offering LPs flexibility. Withdrawal requests are processed after this period.
