Click on the arrow as shown below to see the details of the BUSD - TFT pool.
Next, click on the 'Provide Liquidity' button in the lower right corner. A new window will open as shown below. Click on 'Provide Liquidity' icon to start the transaction process.
A new window will open that will ask you to enter the amount of BUSD tokens or the amount of TFT(BSC) tokens you want to provide. As you can see in the screenshot below, before you can proceed, you have to unlock the tokens. This is required and will allow 1inch to execute smart contract transactions on your behalf. Unlocking tokens costs a small amount of BNB fees. To unlock, click on the "Unlock" button and follow the instructions given by 1inch. You will have to confirm the transaction on your wallet.
Once the tokens are unlocked, you can provide liquidity. To do so, enter the amount of BUSD tokens or the amount TFT(BSC) tokens you want to provide. The amount of the other token will adjust accordingly.
To make the process a bit easier to understand, you can also enter the USD$ value in the corresponding field and it will adjust the token amounts automatically, according to the amount you specify. You can also click on the "Max:" link to provide the maximum amount you have available.
On below screenshot example, we are providing $2100 into the pool, which means roughly 169354,8378 TFT(BSC) tokens, which also means we have to provide around 2100 BUSD tokens (note that these numbers will be different when you do this as prices fluctuate). Once you have dialed in the number of tokens you want to provide to the pool, click on the "Provide liquidity" button.
In the next step, you will have to confirm the transaction with your wallet. Once confirmed, you will get this screen as shown below. Make sure you bookmark the link to the Etherscan transaction, you will need it to confirm everything went according to plan. Once the transaction is confirmed on chain (see Etherscan), you are basically done.
Once done, you can go back to the TFT pool section on 1inch.io Pools page on https://app.1inch.io/#/56/earn/pools?filter=TFT. and expand the BUSD-TFT pool entry. There you can see your liquidity in the pool.
Note that the number of TFT and BUSD tokens will change constantly and will not be the same as you initially provided. This is because of the way liquidity pools work and is absolutely normal.
Important Notice
It's important to note that being a liquidity provider involves certain risks, such as impermanent loss, which occurs when the value of the tokens in the liquidity pool fluctuates. However, if you believe in the potential of TFT and want to actively contribute to the liquidity ecosystem on 1inch.io, becoming a liquidity provider can be a rewarding opportunity to earn fees and support the growth of the platform.
