What is a liquidity pool?
An automated market maker holds liquidity for two assets and lets traders swap between them. A liquidity position specifies capital and, for concentrated liquidity, the price interval over which that capital participates. Fees depend on the actual swaps served by active liquidity.
Reservoir proposes markets such as USDG / RESERVE and NVDA / RESERVE. A stock ticker alone does not verify the asset: the live application must identify canonical token addresses on the correct chain.
The pool is shared. Principal is not.
| Owner | Source of principal | Fee destination |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | The liquidity allocation of creator fees | Protocol reward accounting after costs |
| Community LP | A user’s deposited assets | That user’s position fee balance |
What a direct deposit should give you
The live implementation creates a V3 position NFT owned directly by your wallet. It does not transfer your position to the protocol treasury. Your LP fees belong to that NFT.
The wallet owner can collect tokens and remove liquidity through the position manager independently of this website. Reservoir’s live interface supports full withdrawals and exact token approvals. The currently deployed demo uses local example positions.
The example markets
Six candidate markets appear in the app: USDG, NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, MSFT and SPY, each paired with RESERVE. Their fixed protocol positions total $240,000. Your local demo deposits are shown in addition to that amount.
A uniform 0.30% swap fee and $328,000 combined sample daily volume produce $984 of illustrative gross LP fees per simulated epoch. These are scenario inputs, not observed market data.
Community fees are not diverted
The demo assumes no additional management or performance fee on a personal LP position. That is an example policy, not a promise of final launch pricing. Any future protocol charges must be disclosed separately before deposit.
