(Old) Getting Started with UNI Pools

PreviousDoHardWorkNext(Old) Farm with USDC

Last updated 4 years ago

It's an old tutorial and some information out of date

Intro

Welcome back city slicker! Now that you roughed up your hands in the , let's start chasing some of that crazy APY in some other pools. How about the Uniswap Pool? That APY is way up there!

Sounds too good to be true, you say? Good point. You need to understand the risk if Impermanent Loss by playing in this pool.

If you don't understand IL, I highly suggest you stop right here and do a little homework. Personally, I had to watch and read a good 3 times or so for it to finally sink in. tl;dr this from pretty much sums it up...

So you do want to live on the edge! Okay! Let's get going!

Here's What We're Going to Do

To participate in the Uniswap LP Farm, we will need to supply USDC-FARM liquidity to Uniswap's Liquidity Pool. Then use Uniswap LP tokens minted from that transaction to deposit into the Farm.

  1. Get USDC (not sure how? Go to the previous tutorial)

  2. Swap half of our USDC for FARM

  3. Deposit USDC and FARM into Uniswap's Liquidity Pool. Receive UNI_LP tokens

  4. Deposit UNI_LP Token into Farm

  5. Profit!

These steps total 6 transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. Be wary of gas prices before you start. Make sure you have enough ETH in your Wallet. Gas was at ~50 Gwei at time of doing this tutorial.

Get USDC

Now, with our USDC, we are going to swap half of it for FARM

This will happen in two steps. An Approval and a Swap step. Both will charge gas!

With the USDC and FARM in our Wallet, we are going to add it to Uniswaps USDC-FARM Liquidity Pool.

This will also require two transactions: Approve and Supply

  • Click Earn on the top of Harvest.Finance. Then select the Uniswap Farm

  • We received 0.0000657 UNI_LP-V2 tokens that we will use in the next step

This will also require two transactions: Approve and Stake

Time to put our UNI_LP tokens into the Farm and earn some of that high yield FARM!

  • In our Wallet, we will do 2 transactions: Approve and Stake. I'm tired of taking screen shots; you're on your own for that

I went to Uniswap and don't see my posiitons!! When you add your UNI_LP tokens to Farm, you temporarily stake your LP tokens into Harvest, and Harvest use it to farm and sell crops to grow the amount of your LP. The value of your LP still grows with each trade on the Uniswap pool. So you get to enjoy Harvest's automated golden crops on top of Unicorn yields.

Farming is good honest work. You did great my fellow farmhand. Let's now watch the fruits of our labor!

  • We now see ouf FARM_USDC_LP there and the staked balance of UNI_LP we added.

  • Assets at the bottom will include the Underlying USDC and FARM that we added to the Liquidity Pool.

Alright, you should already know how to do this if you followed the . In the next step, we will be exchaning half (by value) of our USDC for FARM. So make sure you have enough USDC to split.

Buy FARM

Click Buy FARM on the top of the page. It will take you to Uniswap to Swap USDC for FARM.

OMG! SCARY WARNING

The warning says exactly what it means. It's up to you to make sure the addresses you are using are correct. You might want to click on those View on Etherscan links and verify them against .

All set? Okay! Take half of our USDC and Swap it for FARM! in this case, we have 1500 USDC. So we will use 750 for the SWAP.!

Once the Approval goes through, we will now do the Swap!

Hooray! We now have USDC and FARM in our Wallet to add to the Liquidity Pool I know, I know. You are wondering where I accumulated all that DAI and FNT. That's none of your business!

Add FARM and USDC to UNI LP

Select UNI-V2. This will take you to Uniswap's USDC-FARM Pair page

At the top right of the page, select Add Liquidity

Select Max FARM (or USDC)! Then click Approve

Once Approve transaction goes through, Click Supply

After this transaction, Uniswap will show your positions in the Pool

Congrats! you are now a Liquidity Provider for Uniswaps USDC-FARM Liquidity Pool! You are now earning fees off user's exchange transactions from this pool. Of course, now you are also at risk of Impermanent Loss

Deposit Tokens in to UNI LP Farm

Back on the Harvest's Uniswap Farm page, we now have the ability to Stake. Select Max, then select Stake

All done! We are staked in the Farm, earning that sweet APY!

Earn FARM!
