Trade & provide liquidity

lUSD trades against stablecoins on Uniswap V3. The trade page is a thin, honest desk over those pools — loom adds routing and readouts, not a separate exchange.

Swapping

Open app.loomfi.io/trade.

  • Pick direction (the flip control swaps sides), enter an amount, and the desk quotes across every live fee tier, routing to the best output automatically.
  • Slippage defaults to Auto (a guard derived from quote impact); set a manual tolerance from the row beneath the form if you prefer.
  • The readout shows the fiat value of both legs, the effective rate, and the price impact inline. Confirm chains the exact-amount approval and the swap together.

Providing liquidity

Liquidity earns the pool's trading fees — and lUSD-side liquidity is the Genesis points program's largest lever (60% of the daily pool, weighted 0.7 to the stablecoin side and 0.3 to lUSD, in-range positions only).

From the trade page, switch to Liquidity:

  • Simple: pick amounts for both sides and add around the current price.
  • Advanced (the gear) opens the full desk: choose a fee tier (all live tiers shown; create a new pool at a tier that doesn't exist yet), set your price range with zone presets or exact bounds, and choose your position intent — both sides, stablecoin-only, or lUSD-only. Single-sided ranges are supported and the preview shows exactly where your range sits against spot.
  • Out-of-range positions earn nothing (and score nothing) until price re-enters — ranges are a real decision, not a formality.

One honest note

Pool liquidity is Uniswap's, not loom's: LP positions carry the usual concentrated-liquidity trade-offs (impermanent loss inside your range, inactivity outside it). The desk shows you the numbers; it doesn't hide the product.
