Providing Liquidity on Gyroscope/Aura

This guide walks you through providing liquidity for the paUSD:GYD pool via Gyroscope and earning boosted rewards from our Aura Gauge, including how to earn Gyroscope SPIN points.

What is an E-CLP?

Elliptic Concentrated Liquidity Pools (E-CLPs) are designed to offer asymmetric concentrated liquidity along the curve of an ellipse. Unlike traditional liquidity pools, E-CLPs can focus liquidity more precisely within specific price bounds, enhancing capital efficiency by placing liquidity where it is most needed.

What is GYD?

GYD is Gyroscope's fully-backed stablecoin. It aims to maintain a 1:1 peg with USD, backed by a diverse reserve of assets. The reserve is designed to mitigate various risks including price, regulatory, and counterparty risks.
