# Add liquidity
**What is add liquidity?**
"Adding liquidity" refers to the process of depositing tokens into a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) or platform. By doing this, users (called liquidity providers) supply the pool with the necessary tokens that other traders can swap between. For example, if you want to add liquidity to an BAR/CHZ pool, you deposit both BAR and CHZ in equal value. In return, you receive liquidity provider (LP) tokens, which represent your share of the pool. You earn a portion of the transaction fees from trades made using the pool. When you withdraw, you'll receive your initial tokens back, plus any fees you've earned.
