What you need
There are separate liquidity pools for different tokens. You must have:
- The liquidity pool’s required token
- The gas token for the respective blockchain to pay for gas fees.
For example, the USDC liquidity pool on Arbitrum requires you to have USDC deposited into the pool and ETH to pay the gas fees for any transaction. USDC and ETH must both be on the Arbitrum network.

FAQ
What is a liquidity pool?
A liquidity pool provides liquidity for blockchain tokens. Liquidity refers to the ease with which a token may be bought or sold.
These pools have become integral to decentralized finance (DeFi) because they can provide liquidity for trading activity, such as swaps and lending. For example, a USDC-ETH swap pool would allow you to swap between USDC and ETH.
Since liquidity pools require contributions, this is incentivized. For example, through the Aave dapp, you can deposit USDC into a lending pool for Arbitrum, and you will earn USDC and ARB (the native token on the Arbitrum blockchain). Though participating in liquidity pools can generate passive income, contributors should be aware of associated risks, such as impermanent loss, smart contract vulnerabilities, and market volatility.
How much will this cost me?
Valora does not charge a fee for the crypto earning program right now. However, a gas fee is required since this is a blockchain transaction. When you deposit or collect your earnings and rewards, the estimated gas fee will be displayed.
What is Valora Gas Refund?
Valora occasionally covers your transaction fees when you participate in the Earn pools. To cover the fees, Valora will add funds to your wallet after you sign a transaction to participate in the pools, which results in an extra transaction in your activity feed. This is used for various promotions, meaning it will not always be live and is subject to change.
When are rewards available?
After you make your deposit, you start accumulating your rewards and earnings. You can exit the pool and collect your funds just like you would in the respective dapp, but without the hassle of leaving Valora.
