How to LP and Earn $BACON on Uniswap

Liquidity is the bread and butter of DeFi and we’re proud to be cooking up our new LP rewards program distributing 10,000,000 $BACON tokens to liquidity providers over 12 months.

In this post we will walk you through the process of creating a liquidity position on Uniswap; You’ll learn how to deposit into the Uniswap liquidity pool in order to earn extra $BACON proportional to the percentage of your ownership stake of the pool. For example, if you own 1% of the liquidity pool, you’ll be distributed 1% of the weekly tokens given to the pool.

Before beginning the process you’ll need:

  • A wallet to connect to the Uniswap application
  • $ETH for gas fees
  • $BACON and $USDC to create the LP
  • A big plate of bacon to reward yourself when the job is complete 🥓

1. Go to the Uniswap Analytics page for USDC-BACON

This will help ensure that you are entering the pool that is a part of the LP Rewards Program.

2. Click on “Add Liquidity”

This will take you back to the Uniswap dApp where you can create your LP position.
