Walkthrough for providing liquidity on PolyCub

Following the launch of the brand new DeFi platform called PolyCub, there are lots of questions going around looking for a walkthrough to providing liquidity.

In this blog, I take you through the process step by step and give you the chance to ask any follow up questions in the comments section below.

Let’s jump right into it.

First things first

Before we get into the walkthrough, you need to understand a few things.

Polygon is not free

Unlike Hive, the Polygon blockchain is NOT free to use.

So the first thing you need to do after setting up your MetaMask is to make sure you have a small amount of MATIC on hand for transaction fees.

You can get free MATIC for gas fees by blogging on Hive and then using Hive-Engine to buy and withdraw SWAP.MATIC into your Polygon wallet.

POLYCUB and pLEO token addresses

The most questions around providing liquidity on PolyCub ask about how to provide liquidity to the pCUB:MATIC LP.

As a result, I've used this farm as my example and thus you need to add the following custom tokens.

Contract addresses:

So your balances correctly display via MetaMask, make sure you add both these PolyCub specific tokens by clicking Import Tokens and pasting in the contract addresses.

Import tokens on MetaMask.

1. Wrap your LEO to pLEO

Go to the LEO TO pLEO wrapper.

The LEO to pLEO wrapper.

Paste in your Polygon address, then how much LEO you want to deposit (-1 LEO fee), your Hive username and finally confirm the transaction using keychain.

Wait a minute and you will see your balance of pLEO now in your MetaMask.

2. Add Liquidity via SushiSwap

Assuming you already have an equal dollar amount of MATIC in your wallet, you can now add liquidity.

On PolyCub, click Trade then Liquidity and bring up the SushiSwap interface.

Trade then Liquidity.

Brings up the SushiSwap interface.

Choose MATIC for the first (it auto changes to wMATIC) and paste the pLEO contract address to then choose pLEO.

Paste the pLEO address.

Confirm the transactions and you will now have the required LP tokens.

3. Deposit the pLEO:MATIC LP tokens into the PolyCub farm

Go back to PolyCub and click the Farms tab.

The farms tab.

Click the pLEO:MATIC farm and enable the contract.

Once enabled, click the Plus Sign and then the Max button.

Add the max amount of tokens.

You will now have added the LP tokens into the PolyCub farm and will start to earn POLYCUB rewards.

Final thoughts on providing liquidity on PolyCub

Every time I pop into the LeoFinance Discord or read through the daily LeoMarketTalk crypto live blog I see questions surrounding how to provide liquidity on PolyCub.

Hopefully this blog can act as a resource to link back to when the same questions get asked.

As I said above, you now have the chance to ask any follow up questions in the comments section below.

Let’s use the power of our community here on LeoFinance to build out this walkthrough.

Best of probabilities to you.

Matric LP should be better.

The pLEO:MATIC LP is a great place to be.

Earn LEO by creating and commenting on content here on LeoFinance.

Then pool it with MATIC on PolyCub and earn 500%+ on those rewards.

Can't go wrong!

It doesn't seem all that different from CubFinance. I thought you had to input wMATIC but I guess you can skip a step (save gas fees).

Yep, even though it says wMATIC, it accepts MATIC.

I guess you don't have to wrap your MATIC when it's on Polygon itself?

You can get free MATIC for gas fees by simply earning HIVE rewards and using those to buy SWAP.MATIC.

As you can see, I may have used a little poetic license by saying that the MATIC is free because it takes your time.

But still doable if that's the route you want to take :)

You're certainly not dumb.

I was in your exact shoes before the launch of Cub Finance.

It's complicated as all hell!

But I assure you that if you put in the time required to learn, then the rewards are VERYYY much worth the effort.

Just something to consider ;)

I think that's my main obstacle right now. Time and energy are two things I'm short on these days. Perhaps I'll return to this another time, but my FOMO over the polycub stuff was replaced by a general lack of caring very quickly over the past few weeks.
