How to add liquidity to a pool on Uniswap or PancakeSwap using Trust Wallet?

Accessing the DEX Interface Through Trust Wallet

1. Open Trust Wallet and ensure your wallet is unlocked with the correct network selected — Ethereum for Uniswap, BSC for PancakeSwap.

2. Tap the DApps icon at the bottom navigation bar to launch the built-in browser.
3. Search for “Uniswap” or “PancakeSwap” in the DApp search bar or manually enter the official URL: app.uniswap.org or pancakeswap.finance.
4. Confirm the domain is verified and matches the official site to avoid phishing risks.
5. Connect your Trust Wallet by tapping “Connect Wallet” and selecting Trust Wallet from the list of options.

Selecting and Approving Token Pairs

1. Navigate to the Liquidity tab on the DEX interface — this is distinct from the Swap or Pool tabs.

2. Choose two tokens you wish to pair; one must be the native chain token (ETH or BNB) unless adding a custom ERC-20/BEP-20 pair.
3. Enter the amount for one token — the interface auto-calculates the required amount of the second token based on current pool reserves.
4. Review the price impact indicator; values above 0.5% suggest high slippage due to low liquidity or large deposit size.
5. Click “Approve” next to the token requiring allowance; confirm the transaction in Trust Wallet when prompted.

Providing Liquidity and Receiving LP Tokens

1. After both tokens are approved, click “Supply” to initiate the liquidity addition.

2. A preview modal displays the share of the pool you’ll receive, the fees accrued, and the impermanent loss risk level.
3. Confirm the transaction in Trust Wallet — gas fees will be deducted in ETH or BNB depending on the chain.
4. Once confirmed on-chain, your LP tokens appear in the Assets section of Trust Wallet if the token contract is added manually or auto-detected.
5. These LP tokens represent proportional ownership and entitle you to a share of trading fees generated by that pool.

Managing Liquidity Positions

1. Return to the DEX interface and go to the Pool tab to view active positions linked to your wallet.

2. Click on your position to see real-time metrics: total value locked, fee earnings, and current APR.
3. To remove liquidity, enter the percentage or exact amount of LP tokens to withdraw and confirm the burn transaction.
4. Both underlying tokens are returned to your wallet balance minus any accumulated fees and slippage adjustments.
5. Unclaimed fees are automatically distributed upon removal; no separate claim step is required on Uniswap v2 or PancakeSwap v2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does Trust Wallet show “Unknown Token” after I add liquidity?A: LP tokens may not be auto-added to your asset list. Manually add the LP token contract address via the “+” button in Assets and verify its symbol and decimals match the pool’s official documentation.

Q: Can I provide liquidity with only one token?A: No. Automated market makers require balanced deposits of both tokens in proportion to the pool’s current ratio. Depositing a single token triggers an automatic swap, incurring additional fees and slippage.

Q: What happens if I lose my Trust Wallet recovery phrase after adding liquidity?A: All LP tokens and underlying assets remain on-chain. Recovery depends solely on restoring the same private key — losing the phrase means permanent loss of access to those positions.

Q: Do I need to approve tokens every time I add liquidity to the same pool?A: Only once per token per wallet. Subsequent deposits reuse the existing allowance unless you manually revoke it or the DEX resets permissions after major contract upgrades.
