* Select your wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.).
* Make sure you're on the Base Network.

3️⃣ Enter the Deposit Amounts

* Choose how much $RIZ and the paired token (e.g., ETH or USDC) you want to provide.
* The system will auto-calculate the correct balance.

4️⃣ Approve and Deposit

* Click "Approve" for each token.
* Click "Deposit" to add liquidity.

5️⃣ Staking (Optional but Recommended)

* After depositing, click "Stake Liquidity" to earn extra rewards.

6️⃣ Managing Liquidity

#### Pros of Basic Pools

✅ Simple & Passive – No need to manage price ranges.\
✅ Good for Beginners – No impermanent loss from price shifts out of range.

### 🔹 Option 2: Adding Liquidity to a Concentrated Pool

Concentrated liquidity allows you to provide liquidity within a specific price range, maximizing rewards when active.

#### Steps to Add Liquidity to a Concentrated Pool

1️⃣ Go to the Aerodrome Finance Liquidity Page

* Search for $RIZ and select the Concentrated Pool.

2️⃣ Connect Your Wallet

* Click "Connect Wallet" and select your wallet.
* Ensure you're on Base Network.

3️⃣ Define the Price Range

* Set the minimum and maximum price range where you want to provide liquidity.
* A narrow range = higher fees but requires active management.
* A wide range = less maintenance but lower earnings.

4️⃣ Enter Deposit Amounts

* Based on your price range, Aerodrome will suggest a balanced ratio of $RIZ and the paired token.
* Adjust the amounts if needed.

5️⃣ Approve and Deposit

* Click "Approve" for each token.
* Click "Deposit" to provide liquidity.

6️⃣ Staking (Optional but Recommended)

* Stake your LP tokens to earn additional rewards.

7️⃣ Managing Liquidity

* If the price moves out of your range, your liquidity becomes inactive.
* You can manually adjust the price range or use an Automated Liquidity Manager (ALM).

#### Pros of Concentrated Pools

✅ Higher Yield – More fees earned in an active price range.\
✅ Customizable – Choose your price range for better control.\
⚠️ Requires Management – If price moves out of range, liquidity must be adjusted.
