Providing Liquidity

The canto.io frontend offers two interfaces for providing liquidity on the Canto DEX and Ambient:

• canto.io/lp – for incentivized pairs

• pools.canto.io – for all other pairs

To swap tokens through the Canto DEX or Ambient, use a third-party frontend or aggregator such as Slingshot.

• CANTO/ETH (Canto DEX, volatile)

• CANTO/ATOM (Canto DEX, volatile)

• NOTE/USDC (Canto DEX, stable)
