Quickstart for LPs Partner

What you’ll need

• A Solana wallet with SOL for fees.

• The assets of the pool you’re adding to (e.g., wBTC/mBTC or USDC/USDS).

• A clear price range you’d like to provide liquidity within and amounts for each token.

Step 1: Create the pool (if it doesn't exist)

1. On dlmm.saros.xyz, click Create Pool (or + New Pool) and search for your tokens. First, check the Pools page to ensure the pool doesn't already exist.

2. Select Token A / Token B (e.g., wBTC / mBTC or USDS / USDC). Double‑check mint addresses.

3. Set Pool parameters:

   • Shape: Spot (uniform liquidity across your selected range).

     • Why Spot for pool creation? Keeps inventory evenly spread in a tight band (e.g., 0.9992–1.0006) and avoids over‑concentration if the mark moves before TVL arrives. Also, if you’re using a multisig like Squads, it reduces chances of TX failure because bin counts are predictable and all fit into a single TX. You can still add additional Curve positions later to concentrate near the active bin price for higher fee capture.

   • Base fee: up to you but most pegged wrappers/stable pools start at 0.01%.

   • Bin Step: 1 (*Basic Fee auto = 0.01% as shown).

     • Why 1 bps? Highest price resolution for pegged pairs (BTC/BTC, stable/stable), smoother re‑pegs and tighter quotes across aggregators.

     • For those using Squads multisig only - you are limited the number of ‘positions’ you set up in a single TX (see section 4.3 for more details): At 1 bps, each bin = 0.01% with a 16‑bin cap per TX. Your initial position should cover a total span of ≤0.16% (≈ ±0.08% maximum each side). Plan your range accordingly. You can add more positions in separate TXs to get a wider range.

   • Initial price: set near 1.0000 (or current market), ensure active bin is at the middle.

4. Click Create Pool and approve in Squad (one transaction)

Step 2: Open the pool on Saros DLMM

1. Go to dlmm.saros.xyz/pool.

2. Search and open your pool (e.g., USDS/USDC).

3. Click Add Liquidity.

Step 3: Choose Liquidity Shape & Range

1. Liquidity Shape: Select Spot or Curve (pegged) for assets stable in price against one another (i.e. BTC/wBTC; USDC/USDT).

2. Bin Step: Default 1 bps (0.01%) for tight control but many bins

3. Range: for a tight 1:1 example, set 0.9992 – 1.0006 (≈ ±0.07% around 1.00).

Step 4: Allocate Liquidity

1. Select Both sides (recommended for pegged pairs) or Single‑sided if topping up one token.

2. Enter token amounts. For BTC/BTC or stable/stable, providing roughly balanced amounts is simplest.

3. For multisig users only: Check the # of positions shown by the UI (see image below for example). If it’s >1, reduce the per‑tx coverage (narrower sub‑range - typically 16 bins or less, or a higher bin step), then add remaining bins in separate TXs afterwards.

Example: Adding liquidity between ranges 0.9936 -> 1.0032 using a multisig: TX 1: 1.0017 -> 1.0032 TX 2: 1.0000 -> 1.0016 TX 3: 0.9984 -> 0.9999 TX 4: 0.9968 -> 0.9983 TX 5: 0.9952 -> 0.9967 TX 6: 0.9936 -> 0.9951

Click Preview to review fees, range and bins, then Add Liquidity and approve.

Step 5: Confirm & Monitor

• Your position will immediately start earning trading fees within the active bins. Fees auto‑compound; you realize them when you withdraw (partially or fully).

• You can adjust later:

  • Narrower range (fewer bins) → higher fee capture when price stays in‑range, fewer TXs for multisig users.

  • Wider range (more bins) → more time in range, but may require multiple transactions for multisig users.
