A Developer's Guide to Providing Liquidity with Merchant Moe's Liquidity Book

This guide provides a technical walkthrough of how to use Merchant Moe, the innovative DEX from the Merchant Moe Trader Joe team. We will focus on providing liquidity to the Merchant Moe Liquidity Book on the Merchant Moe Mantle network.

Step 1: Understanding the Liquidity Book Architecture

Unlike traditional AMMs, the Liquidity Book model, pioneered by Trader Joe, doesn't spread liquidity thinly across an infinite price curve. Instead, it concentrates liquidity into discrete, fixed-price "bins." This structure dramatically improves Merchant Moe capital efficiency.

Step 2: Connecting to the Merchant Moe DEX

Navigate to the Merchant Moe Official platform. Connect your wallet and ensure you are on a supported network, such as Mantle or Merchant Moe Linea.

Step 3: Adding Liquidity to a Pool

Select a liquidity pool from the "Pools" tab.

Click "Add Liquidity."

Choose your "Price Range." You can provide liquidity across the entire price range or concentrate it around the current price to earn more fees. The UI will show you which bin is currently active.

Enter the amount of tokens you wish to deposit.

Execute the transaction.

Your LP position is represented by a standard, fungible token, not a complex NFT. This makes it easy to use in other DeFi protocols. Your position is now earning trading fees and Merchant Moe rewards. For a deep dive, see the Full Official Documentation.
